Hello , i have a Lenovo A6000 and after some GPS issue i decided to flash it with TWRP 2.8.6.1 and add a custom (CM11) rom.
After a little bit of picking around and trying various gps fixes i think the problem is hardware wise.
I unrooted the phone (i used kingroot to root, comes with an unroot button) but now i need the factory recovery image so i can return it back for repair (factory rom was backed up from twrp and recovered successfully).
The current (and up to date according to its settings) rom is S025_151016 and its a single sim model. Do i need the same recovery ? I have found the S010_151016 recovery on the internet, is it ok to flash this one ?
Also general tips to fix gps if possible ? I tried TopNTP & various cm11 roms
Thanks for the answers

You can download your recovery as per your current android version from here, and then flash it
www[dot]techolite[dot]com/34431/lenovo-a6000plus-pure-stock-rom-recovery[dot]html
Replace [dot] with " . " in the link
And first try this to check if the recovery wont cause any problem - "fastboot boot recovery.img" where recovery is the name of your recovery image. If the phone successfully boots into it that means you can flash that recovery without any problem.
For permanently flashing recovery - "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img"
Hope it helps!!

Try "fastboot boot recovery.img" first
If it works and the phone reboots then permanently flash the recovery using "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img"

Dear all.
Regarding GPS. I also seeking a way/solution how to make GPS worked.
I saw all custom rom come with stable GPS. But whenever I flash ROM the GPS problem still there. Is it a all known issue for A6000/A600Plus?
Regards.
Okay guys first let me tell you why I have created a new thread just for updating the BL and Firmware ,
I know we already have methods of updating like:
1. flashing the full OOS3 zip through stock recovery ,this method is quite simple for the ones who are on stock recovery and just want to update their OOS version.If you fall in this category then you have no purpose here,you may leave.
2. Is method provided by our fav helping hand @Joshwin Aranha ,that method is sure for the rest of us who dont fall in the above category,but is way too long,although simple and effective still "long".
I created this thread to help the CM13(Official or Sultan's)//any custom rom using new BL,users who want to update their BL without flashing the OOS through the tedious way just to update BL and users who are stuck on bootlogo due to old BL with roms using new BL.
Here I will guide you through the required steps to update our bootloader "In easiest and fastest way without wiping and restoring anything".
So what are we waiting for ,lets start .
Prerequisites
you will need two files for this process,nothing else.
1 . First one is BLUpdater zip --->Here.
2. Second is TWRP compiled from latest sources use either This or the one from Here<--use v41 or use Sultan's from Here OR if you are Martin's fan like me and want to use his MutiRom TWRP goHere.
PS:I am assuming you have Unlocked Bootloader and have either
official/blu_spark/sultan's/ Multirom TWRP installed,in a working condition on OOS2.x BL(if not what are you doing here).
Note: make sure oem unlocking is checked in developer options in your current rom,else updating the BL may cause it to get locked ,and you will have to unlock it again and flash the recovery manually through fastboot itself.
Now the steps
1.First copy both of the above files in your sdcard or otg or ext-sdcard,any place accessible in recovery.
2. Now boot into recovery Choose Install and choose the "OPXBLUpdateOOS3.1" zip and flash it.
3. Don't reboot now ,go to Install again ,this time use "Install Image" button in lower right corner,navigate to folder where you copied the new TWRP,you should be able to see the file,select it ,choose recovery in the next menu and flash.
NOTE:If you chose to use Sultan's recovery.zip then just flash it normally.
4. Don't reboot come back to TWRP home ,goto reboot and recovery ,if TWRP says no OS installed ignore it.
Now voila you should have updated your firmware/BL.Congrats.
You can now install any rom that supports the new BL.Older roms won't boot on the new MM BL.So check the rom thread before installing the rom and later on quacking here about your device being stuck at bootlogo.
Notes
i)Neither I nor XDA will be responsible if your OPX bricks or explodes or ditches you and flies to space.
ii)We are not touching system partition so last installed ROM will be intact.
iii)This guide will leave you into bootable rom only if you have a rom installed that works on latest firmware.
iv)This can also be used to restore all your OPX partitions back to OOS3.x partition state,if you messed any.
v)In case you are using latest nightly (cm13) and face bootloop - go Here
psst:If you are not diggin the new BL,and wanna downgrade again ,back to old BL,check this post.
PS: (second one,I know) This guide was made by taking inspiration from Joshwin's post and devtry method.
Also click Thanks if I helped you

No it wont,right now almost all the custom roms need to update to support new firmware.Only latest cm13 nightlies are booting now,also aosp compiled by olddroid for new BL(shh its only for testers right now)
also maybe the MIUI8 port ,just posted in the forums.
I'm a litte bit confused.
Currently I'm on nighty October 1st. (cm-13.0-20161001-NIGHTLY-onyx.zip)
Can i update the Bootloader with your method and after that booting up my current nightly version?
Or do I have to update after the bootloader update to nightly version 12 (the currently latest)?

no update the BL using the steps above ,then flash the latest nightly.That way it would be good.
Or you can flash nightly first then update BL.Choice is yours.I recommend updating the BL first.
I followed your guide with a locked bootloader, and now I'm in bootloops . Just suggest you put a big red "make sure your bootloader is unlocked" in the steps, not in the footnote.

Reboot into fastboot mode and
Code:
fastboot oem unlock
And using a custom recovery and custom rom makes me assume one have unlocked bootloader

Thanks! I actually relocked my bootloader not long after installed cm13, and disabled "unlock oem" in "developer settings"(I don't know why I did this). So both system and rec is inaccessible, and fastboot is useless in this case. Fortunately I followed the unbrick guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-x/general/guide-mega-unbrick-guide-hard-bricked-t3272108 and get the old bootloader back. Now I could enter CM13-09-28 with all my data intact.
Just hope to let people know the hard lesson I learned, and how to deal the bootloops.
And guys, NEVER RELOCK BOOTLOADER AGAIN!

taking you wanna flash ashwins cm14 right. You just wanna follow the instructions in first post and then flash the cm14.No need to install the whole Oos zip.
This way you should have updated BL and working cm14.
Just flash the cm14 after booting into new TWRP
I've just followed the procedure from OP and all went smooth as butter. Thanks
Directly after that (without reboot) I've installed the latest CM13 (with GApps) and Arsenic R24. Working as a charm

u can flash bluespark twrp via fasboot
Sent from my ONE E1003 using XDA-Developers mobile app
Hello everyone i am in desparate need of some guidance where i unfortunately Hard bricked my Mi9t while trying to flash the new Mokee Rom.
Where i think i went wrong was wiping the system option in twrp. After reboot i was stuck on flashboot and unable to get back into twrp recovery.
I then proceeded to flashboot twrp, also used multiple versions of twrp, again to hopefully be able to get into twrp recovery with no prevail.
Also tried to fastboot via Miflash tool with all latest fastboot roms available currently but kept getting a anti-rollback error.
So then i searched a way to install recovery or stock rom manually via flashboot commands. This caused me to end up where im at, no fastboot, no recovery, no logo at all. I connect the usb and the phone wont turn on at all, just a dead phone. Power button completely unresponsive now, Vol-Up/Vol-Down + Power and nothing.
I worked on it for countless hours trying to simply get into fastboot now with huge anxiety thinking i killed my phone.
I left my phone to charge all night and woke up this morning trying to get into fastboot again and nothing again.
Can someone please lead me in the right direction???
Everywhere i look the info seems to be outdated. At this point i am willing to send it in for repairs but i live in Indiana, US and there isnt a Xiaomi Service location anywhere in site.
Sad story. What did you do in fastboot? If you can't flash a certain twrp version you would have to do:
1. fastboot --disable-verity --disable-verification flash vbmeta vbmeta.img (in twrp archives)
2. fastboot erase recovery
3. fastboot flash recovery your-twrp.img
Concerning AntiRollBack:
You can bypass ARB in miflashtool, set the number of your new rom higher or edit the batch/shell-files manually. The first few lines are ARB and device-check.
I know the info comes too late, but maybe someone reads this before trying things the way you did. There have to be some EDL-pins inside the phone to reflash fastboot but you would have to open your phone. My opinion/solution: Cry and send in.
Anyway: Can you tell us what you did to wipe fastboot?

When i 1st attempted to recover twrp i used TWRP 3.1.1-2 fixed from 4PDA. Ran the .exe file and the prompt said both fires installed successfully, but when i did a reboot it wouldnt go into twrp anymore, just stuck in logo so i would end up back in bootloader.
ttp://en.miui.com/thread-942449-1-1.html
This is exactly the instructions i tried to use before i lost fastboot.
At one point while entering the commands, it froze then my phone completely died and could never make it do anything else.
Why the hell did you use an outdated tutorial for an other phone? A few of the commands also wouldn't work because there are only some of these partitions. But if you did it with the right firmware it shouldn't brick anyway. So maybe you were stuck at boot flash. Else you still would be able to boot into fastboot.#
I feel sorry for you bro but it looks like you were searching for a possiblity to brick your phone

I kno bro i felt like shyt believe me. Literally all day in panic and anxiety that i just wasnt thinking straight and using any kind of guide i can find and ended up here.
Made some progress today tho.
Since my device manager or MiFlash tool wasnt recognizing my device even when i installed Qualcom drivers and pushing all sorts of buttons lol,
I have now opened her up for some surgery and using the Test-Point EDL method.
https://i.postimg.cc/HWJGWHRw/test-point-redmi-k20-mi-9t.png
While USB connected and shorted these 2 pins my computer finally recognized my device in MiFlash Tool and Device Manager again as Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 (COM3)!!!
Now the next problem is the MiFlash tool. I tried to flash rom and status states cannot receive hello packet. From what i understand, i need an authorized account.
Only thing i could find to bypass this was this but currently not yet working. - https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-8/how-to/unbrick-mi8-edl-authorized-account-t3896677
Any ideas where to go from here?
https://mi-globe.com/unbrick-your-xiaomi-phone-without-authorized-mi-account/

I didn't need an authorized account last year but maybe they've changed something. The guides are up to date so maybe follow these steps.

I also emailed unbrick.ru if they support K20/Mi9T variant and waiting for there reply.
Firmware on your page is not up to date. Use https://mifirm.net/
What device do you have? EEA/Global/CN? And what flashfiles did you use? I'm asking this because the only way I know to brick your device is to flash global/eea-rom on chinese device and lock the bootloader.

Hey,
I'm in a similar boat but I still have fastboot.
I can flash everything I wan't. But flashing a recovery doesn't do anything.
I can not boot into the recovery.
When I boot into the recovery i'm at the bootloop screen.
My PC does recocgnize it as recovery mode tho.
Anyways is there a way to get out of this mess? I wanted to try to flash with miflash over fastboot.img but I can't find any .img to flash.
All I can find are the .zips for twrp.
I didn't want to flash cfw tho. I got into the mess because there was an update today for stock rom and I flashed it with twrp. Because OTA didn't work.
/edit
I found the fastboot files.
But how do I bypass the antirollback error

to bypass the ARB you can edit the batch/shell files. the first few lines are device-check and ARB. you can also use xiaomitool and select it there.
Edit: I had the same problem with a twrp version I had installed. After switching to russian version I couldn't downgrade twrp. Just try one of the other 2 versions available.

I've had the russian version of twrp that didn't allow backups.
I know tried all the other version as well.
What happens is it stays in mi.com unblocked screen and my pc will recognize that it's in recovery but twrp never opens.
Like I said the normal stock recovery is flashable but all other twrp versions don't work for some reason.
I've tried all 3.
I know where the lines are but idk what to write in there.
I tried to just delete the lines and then I've got a different error.
Also when changing the version number it says success it actually flashes for 0 seconds and nothing happens.

The russian version I've installed allows backups, tried allready.
You can simply remove the lines, just care you dodn't left something or delete too much. Use xiaomitool v2, it'll bypass the lines.

If I choose mod the phone it says my phone serial and all the 3 other things are unknown.
if I select my phone my phone reboots and says waiting for debugging mode....
Then if I delete the ARB lines and try to flash via MiFlash it says error error no such file found
Can someone pls give me some clearer instructions.
Ok I somehow fixed it.
I flashed everything manually like the times before twrp existested.
Now I don't have the OS running but a running twrp.
I could flash xiaomi eu now and be done with it. But I actually wanted to use stock rom and not a costume rom right now because I wanted to switch to a costume rom when a good official comes out whenever that is.
Although flashing the stock rom got me in this mess in the first place. I never had this problem with flashing costume roms.
Anyhow I know this might not be the place to ask but are xiaomi eu and stock actually that different? Also are there any downsides in using it over stock?
My experience on most phones was that early costume roms usually didn't work with all features etc.
/edit
alright who gives a dang I just flashed the eu rom to be safe with updates..
anyhow is it normal that my devices says Redmi by Xiaomi now?
Prior on my stock rom it said MI by mi.com or something

Basically it's (xiaomi.eu) debloated and optimized but sadly based on chinese official rom. That means no widevine L1.
In my opinion the best rom is EEA (because of "spy restrictions"), debloated with ADBTools with same optimizations which come with mi-globe rombuilder (gpsset, preinstalled magisk, adaway, removed apps). Sadly mi-globe is based on xiaomi.eu which is based on chinese official.

Could you explain the steps you did to flash ALL manual? Which Commands? Which imagens?

Well i did instal xiaomi.eu now. Not because of optimizations etc.
The only reason is that like i said i don't wanna brick by updating official roms anymore.
I mean maybe it's my bad since I'm running costume roms on all my phones for about 12 years or longer.. can't remember when I started but I think with first xyanogen mod.
And I don't know how to flash stock roms.
But with a costume rom it won't brick and if it does I'm not loosing twrp again.
For debloating I do that myself with the android terminal. So idk what the rom has on bloat I'll just uninstall it.
My only fear was that main features don't work with the costume rom. But from first sight everything but themes work fine. And I couldn't care less.
Well one thing changed the icons look like a chineese appleish phone now. Oh well I'll change that later.
Other than that the fingerprint is more responsive which I do like.
And for some reason my Modelnumber changed from Mi 9T to RedmiK20. Even on the boot it says Redmi now instead of MI.
Idk if it's because of the ROM or because I manually flashed the phone.

Just download the fastboot rom and flash everything but dummy. You can flash dummy to but that is just for ARB. Depending on what your ARB index is you can flash it to ignore future problems.
My index was 1 tho and apperently if it's under 4 ARB is supposed to be irrelavent.
I'm not to sure on ARB tho because it's my first time dealing with ARB.
Other then that u flash everything else.
You will end up with a phone that is empty. Basically you reformate your phone so nothing is on there but TWRP. My phone was at 59gb/60 or something like that. basically the only folder I've had left was twrp.
Like I said I remembered the method from like 8 years ago when we didn't have twrp.
The problem with this method is that you can easily hardbrick tho I think. Since if it doesn't work you turned your phone into a fancy usb drive.
I only did it because I thought of buying a new one so since the phone was dead in my eyes already I just tried the old method and it worked fine, besides rebranding the phone to RedmiK20 from Mi9T.
Anyhow if your not giving up on the phone yet I wouldn't try it. Only try if you wanna throw the phone in the trash anyways.
just like me , for the anti roll issue u need to flash newers rom like from latest u flash on ur device before (recommend V10.3.11.0.PFJMIXM) u can get on mifirm.net . after download rom extract the file into fastboot tools then copy all .img file into fastboot tools . after that open the fastboot mode on ur phone and tools on pc
then flash this file
fastboot flash dtbo dtbo.img
fastboot flash logo logo.img
fastboot flash vbmeta vbmeta.img
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash misc misc.img (u can get on fastboot rom not .zip)
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img (recommend used twrp-3.3.1-2-davinci-fix)
then try reboot phone into recovery
if work let me know . im trying make this method because before this i got this problem to after flashing paranoid rom without format data .

Well i did instal xiaomi.eu now. Not because of optimizations etc.
The only reason is that like i said i don't wanna brick by updating official roms anymore.
I mean maybe it's my bad since I'm running costume roms on all my phones for about 12 years or longer.. can't remember when I started but I think with first xyanogen mod.
And I don't know how to flash stock roms.
But with a costume rom it won't brick and if it does I'm not loosing twrp again.

Don't know how you manage to brick your phone with official firmware tbh. And why should you lose TWRP? I flashed about 10 times (global, eea, chinese, xiaomi.eu, mi-globe) and I still didn't have to reflash twrp once. It won't even touch the recovery partition. I also don't see a reason to mess with fastboot (except your brick haha). The boot behavior (redmi instead of mi) is fine, depends on the rom you've flashed. If you flash global or eea rom it'll switch back to "Mi".
What do you mean by "I don't know how to flash official rom"? Boot up twrp, clean dalvik cache/cache, install... tadaaa. I was also using custom roms on all of my phones but I can't find a reason for now to do so. I see only bugs and things not working. I want my widevine L1 and I want AndroidAuto to be working. I'll stay on global/eea till a good rom pops up.

I mean yeah that's what i thought just flash a official rom like any stock rom. Or rather if you change roms cuz if you update existing roms you don't really need to wipe anything anymore.
But apperently it busted my whole phone. It was a weird brick. My phone wasn't recognized as a phone anymore in fastboot. But it was recognized normal in adb. So I needed to change windows drivers to make my phone recognize.
And after that nothing booted but stock recovery and even then it said I don't have debugging enabled. Eventho I was connected to adb??
Anyhow I think the flash messed up the whole system partition. So what I did is in short formate the whole drive and start with a clean slate.. anyhow don't need to repeat all that.
But yeah I'm with you with the take on costume roms. I don't see the need anymore since most stock roms are decent nowadays and costume roms especially are most likely buggy somehow. Good thing is that most stuff I need in my phone is working on the eu rom. Like I said only thing that I could find not working are themes. But thats ok.
I don't know what that widevine L1 thing is. So I prolly don't need it. But maybe u can explain it to me Always up to learn new things.
Well for now I stick with the costume rom since it's basically no different to me. And the chance of bricking again like that with a costume rom are slim to none. If the phone brick it's most likely just a simple brick that can be fixed with twrp. and if that doesn't work by booting into twrp from adb.
Btw that didn't work on my weird brick either. I couldn't boot anything from adb. It gave me a black screen when trying to boot something.
Anyhow I'm glad I've got it running again. But somehow I'm not that surprised. Most times when I brick phones I can fix it when I'm at the point where I wanna throw the phone away. Cuz then I'm just flashing everything I can to make it work xD.
Hey,
How do I revert to stock and which ROM do I use for UK device? I can't find the correct one!
Also, do I just wipe and flash using TWRP?
Hi.
If you want to go completely stock, you can install the international (https://mifirm.net/model/davinci.ttt) or european (https://mifirm.net/model/davinci_eea.ttt) ROM with Mi Flash (fastboot ROM)
If you want MIUI and TWRP, you can use the Recovery ROM.

Thanks. The recovery link does not work. Where can I get hold of this please?
OK. So I wiped everything and trying to install miui_DAVINCIEEAGlobal_V10.3.12.0.PFJEUXM_946a02f6df_9.0 with TWRP... I was trying to install through fastboot and I got the anti-rollback error.
The issue that I have now is that it keeps booting into recovery!? Help!

You can try flashing the stock fasboot ROM using Miflash. Just make sure to open the script and delete every line that refers to anti rollback protection, basically every line until the lines that starts with fastboot.
Use these links. You need .tgz file decompress it twice, till you have ordinary folders and files (cca 6,5GB). Then use MiFlash 2017 version (in the bottom right corner is option, if you also want to lock your bootloader). Put your phone to fastboot and flash it. It takes about 15 minutes and then you have clean phone.

Hello
today I got an update for MIUI 11 by OTA, I press agree for "UPDATE", my phone restarted to TWRP, it's Installed some files for update, after finished that my phone keep restarting to TWRP recovery again (LOOP)
I tried to download official rom and install by TWRP ,but after finish and restart device still rebooting to TWRP recovery
is there any solution for not losing my data ?
BTW : flash stock rom didn't remove TWRP recovery , why ?
(I download rom from xiaomifirmware [dot] com)
I am not expert on that field but from my knowledge try booting twrp and copy all your files to your pc or laptop (the one you need at least for saving some photos or videos ) then flash a fastboot ROM
And as I said from my knowledge not sure there might be other ways

Your phone was on a custom ROM but you didn't know it? oO
No Official ROM will boot and auto-install in TWRP...
Try to clear "Dalvik/Cache" and if still not booting then you will need to "Format Data" in TWRP (loose data).
If still not working, flash a fastboot image...

Try flashing the fastboot ROM the .tgz one not the .zip using miflash but try to use the miui 10 one and later on update (getting the phone to work is more important right now )

Then if you can fully boot to twrp try to connect it with an otg or to pc and copy Ur files
It happened to me once btw I deleted the system partition(first time flashing) ? then I flashed the fastboot ROM
If I was in Ur place I would never flash any custom ROM to trigger the anti rollback or lose widevine l1
You may try but be careful of going through wrong things such as edl mode

God bless us
I’m not using custom rom at all
BTW is there any way to delete twrp recovery without delete system ?
Did you by any chance flashed with the greek TWRP? I got the same bootloop so I get back to miui 10 official global version (the one I updated from) and it booted alright without wipe needed...
I'll try other TWRP versions as well though but right now I don't think I wanna update :|
Yup you should disable disable dm verity and verification
just flash this using fastboot and you're good to go, I am now running official miui 11 without wiping the data.
Code:
fastboot --disable-verity --disable-verification flash vbmeta vbmeta.img
