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.

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.

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".

Firstly download the fastboot romhttp://update.miui.com/updates/v1/fullromdownload.php?d=land_global&b=F&r=global&n=
Then download MiFlash tool, u can find it on en.miui.com website.
Extract the fastboot rom package(u might need 7-zip)
Reboot your device to EDL mode, either by adb command "adb reboot edl" without quotes or powering off your device and then pressing and holding vol + and vol - and plugging in the usb cable
U need qualcomm's drivers which are included in mi flash tool
After you've setup everything, open mi flash, choose which command to use and flash
Backup everything before flashing

I fastboot my phone still same charging issue coming up
Hello, please I need your help. I read a lot and saw too much videos but I can't find a solution.
My Redmi 2 keep booting with the logo of MI and Android under, I can't access to the OS and USB Debugging is off. I installed XiaoMiFlash and MIPcSuite and both don't recognize the phone. I installed ADB Drivers and enter on the cmd 'adb devices' and 'fastboot devices' and don't recognize nothing. Even the device manager on Windows, no response there when I connect the phone via usb.
I don't know what to do!
(sorry for my poor english)

But I can't, if I can't access to the phone through of PC, how put in phone a rom? Impossible. Just can access to Recovery, but only I can do wipes. O flash update.zip, but is not a file there.
Well, you can take the sd card out, and use a card reader to copy roms or rom back up from your PC. Put it back on phone, then flash

Put ROM file in ext SD card and rename it by "update.zip"by PC. Wipe data,cache,d.cache. and flash it by update.zip button.

Did u try latest miflash tool?
Can't PC recognize internal memory when phone is in recovery mode?

Just boot your phone into fastboot mode and flash fastboot rom using miflash beta.
Note that you must use miflash beta as miflash has sometimes issues with recognizing our device.
Bro, try fastboot minimal.
Hi.
Recently I decided to flash lineage os 15.1 on my MiA1
For that I have downgrade to Android nougat.
After downgrading I booted my device.
After setting up device I booted device in fastboot mode to follow further steps like flashing TWRP and all but the problem is my device goes in fastboot mode and it is not identified by abd and after that it is automatically getting restarted and is not holding in fastboot mode.
Please help??
Odd issue. What are you using to flash? If you are using XiaoMiFlash.exe, you'll want to try the (THIS WILL REMOVE ALL YOUR DATA) "clean all" option. Please note that this removes all your data.
I have used MiFlash tool for this and now My device automatically reboot from fastboot mode so I am not able to use adb as well to flash rom or twrp also Now MiFlash tool is not recognising the device.

Hmm. What ROM version are you trying to flash on this? If your device isn't recognized by your PC when in fastboot mode, I'm not sure how you'd flash it.

It should boot if you've fully flashed it and cleaned the user data partition. If it still isn't, you'll want to wait for other members with more experience in bricks to chime in.

My device is booting up without any problems.
But the problem is bootloader is still unlocked. So i am not able to update via OTA.
And as the device does not holds in fastboot mode so I am not able to do other flash work.
Is there any way I can share a video of my problem with you?

Oh. If it's booting up fine, then you shouldn't be worried too much.
If it keeps restarting in Fastboot mode, it could be a driver issue which is preventing your PC from recognizing your device and vice versa. I'm on Windows 10 which installs drivers automatically so I've never had experience with it.

I think that's expected behavior? If it doesn't recognize itself being connected to a device, it'll exit fastboot mode.
I think you need to connect it to the USB cable and into your PC for it to not restart/power off.

wait.. what exacly did you do when you booted into fastboot? did you type "adb devices" or "fastboot devices"? also, try rebooting into fastboot mode by typing "adb reboot bootloader" in cmd, with your phone plugged into your pc, and with the proper platform-tools installed. it shouldn't really go away from fastboot mode like that.

Hy man, I know basic of adb and I use cmd "adb devices"
My device is recognised when it is on.
I can also give various cmd like boot in recovery or fastboot mode or reboot and the device follow the instructions.
Please see the video that I've shared.
Once fastboot mode is on the device is automatically restarted in about 10 to 15 sec and within this time MiFlash tool or adb cmd prompt bot does not recognise my device.
I have tried to flash OTA via adb side load but it is showing error.
Help me with your input!

Your device doesn't get detected in your CMD prompt when it's in fastboot AND you type "fastboot devices"?
If it doesnt then you might have flashed something incorrectly.
Also, make sure to have your android drivers up to date in your pc. It's very, very likely that you don't have them installed on your PC, or they are outdated. See this: https://developer.android.com/studio/run/oem-usb.html
And this: https://developer.android.com/studio/releases/platform-tools.html
I have faced this issue. Yesterday i dirty flashed a custom rom. but i forgot how to dirty flash. i just simply flashed the rom and restarted the phone. it was mandatory to flash custom recovery and gapps after flashing a rom dirtily or normally. but i didn't. After the reboot completed, i remembered that i didn't flashed the twrp and gapps. So, i go back recovery mod, guessed i could flash twrp now. But i didn't see any custom recovery on my phone. But the phone boots, and i can use the phone. Still, i'm on that phone, while i'm typing this comment. i didn't lost my data cause i flashed dirtily. But the problem is, as i didn't flashed gapps or magisk (for root access), now i can't use google apps like, play store, and more. As i don't have root access on my phone so, i can't run flasify, to flash custom recovery. neither i can run other apps that need root. As i didn't flash custom recovery, now i can't flash gapps, magisk and whatever that needs a custom recovery.
I told some rom porter about the matter. They told me to flash stock rom. So, i was trying to flash stock rom. but flashing stock rom requires a fastboot mode. But my fastboot logo doesn't appear and it's blank. I told this to a rom porter. But he said, He doesn't know about that and he can't help.
I am on stock android 9 in mi a1 facing issues with frequent restarts, want to switch back to android 8.1
Problem i am facing is my pc cant detect my device, so i cant install twrp recovery on it. I tried every solution i can find to get my pc to connect to mi a1... unabled usb debugging, cleaned charging port etc., As this phone comes with broken stock recovery i cant install recovery image of stock 8.1
Please help me, is there any way i can get my phone fixed?
Try this: (Start from 4:55)
- Open fastboot on your smartphone connect it to pc
- Go device manager on your pc
- Find your device there (It probably named as Android)
- Right Click and select 'Update Driver'
- Select 'Browse for Drivers on your computer' and select 'Browse' (Make sure you have enabled 'Include Subfolders')
- And select the 'Fastboot Driver' folder that i attached (After that Android Bootloader Interface will be installed)
After you complete all these, downoad platform tools from here.
Open it and write 'fastboot devices'. Your device would show up there. Install TWRP i attached by writing 'fastboot flash boot (twrp location/ you can make it just by dragging your twrp here)' and enter. Press Power button and Volume Up button for a while. And TWRP would open.
