I recommend using the SP FLASH TOOL method for flashing stock ROM if possible.
TO FLASH THIS STOCK FIRMWARE via SP Flash TOOL Click here
THIS is Lenovo A7000 Stock "MARSHMALLOW [Android 6.0]" OTA UPDATE.
version : A7000-a_S223_160405_ROW_WC814D6764
This method is the alternative method to the SP Flash tool.
I have tested it and it works:-
First, when I am on stock Lenovo rooted lollipop ROM(ver.S153_151127_ROW).
Secondly, it also worked when I am on marshmallow rooted ROM (ver.S223_160405_ROW).
The third time it works when I am on vibe 3.5 custom ROM [MM based] with custom kernel.
If you have a rooted device, your device will unroot after installing the update.
If your device is not rooted then also it works like a charm.
To install or flash this OTA ROM
1. You should have Lenovo stock recovery installed. Use any one between method a or b
(a)If you want you can Flash stock recovery via TWRP. Click here
(Procedure is the same as installing zip file in TWRP).
(b)Flashing stock recovery via SP flash tool. Click here
(Run spflash tool Download and unzip the package, load the scatter file and flash it in "download only" mode)
After flashing recovery immediately boot into a recovery check if the recovery is installed or not if not then flash recovery again.
2. Download the stock ROM from the Lenovo server.
DOWNLOAD LINK: click here
3. Now make the two copies of the downloaded package first one in internal storage(not in any folder).
4. Rename the package to update.zip to the one in internal storage.
5. Then Boot into recovery (Power + half a second the two volume buttons), then select English as recovery language.
6. Now select install update package. It will give some warning click yes then the update will start.
In between, you will feel that update is stuck don't worry it is updating, after update your phone will reboot automatically. (update may take 10-15 minutes)
WHATEVER YOU DO AT THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK. NEITHER I NOR XDA WILL BE RESPONSIBLE IN CASE OF ANY HARDWARE/ SOFWARE DAMAGES CAUSED BY YOU TRYING THESE METHODS. YOU WILL BE SOLELY RESPONSIBLE.
IF THIS THREAD REALLY HELPS YOU THEN PLEASE TAP THANKS.
If you want to flash through SP Flash tool the go to this thread:-http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/development/lenovo-a7000-as223160405-row-andoid-6-0-t3360467/post66404777#post66404777

i have sony z1 compact
now i update lollipop 5.0.2
plzzz help me how to root
Go back to Kitkat, get root and wait for a rooted Kernel or usable Backdoor in Lollipop.
Or open Bootloader, but also go back to KK, and wait for a custom Kernel or a Backdoor.
Gesendet von meinem D5503 mit Tapatalk
Step-by-step to get Z1c with rooted Lolipop (for booth Locked BootLoader and Unlocked BootLoader). You can skip step 1 and 2 if already have custom recovery installed:
1. Go back to KitKat (108 is recommended because it can be rooted directly)
2. Root and install custom recovery (Philz Touch is recommended because I have boot loop with TWRP)
3. Download flashable zip Pre-Rooted Lolipop firmware (or create one yourself) and copy it to SD card
4. Go to recovery and wipe your device (wipe for clean installation is recommended). Do not restart your device
5. Install flashable zip PRF from SD card
5. Using FlashTool and TFT rom file (same version with flashable zip) to flash your device again EXCLUDE SYSTEM
Enjoy rooted Lolipop

I tried to update to lollipop and root it but to of no avail. I tried to read many blogs and F*pieces but can not get any thing good. I am using KitKiat 4.4.4 14.A.0.157 rooted. I want to download the latest lollipop version and root it with Custom recovery. I do not want any messed with custom lollipops as i do not trust other people easily. If there is some smooth tool method to simply click and run root method , kindly share with me. If it is not possible and the only way to get a rooted lollipop is by using custom messed up lollipop ftf then paste it here in great simple details I am ready to follow this method. Thanks :laugh::laugh::silly::silly::silly::highfive::highfive:

On my Z1c Lollipop i become no root access. Not with prerooted flashable zip and not with my selfmade flashable zip.
My Z1c is LB and on rooted .108 firmware. After flash preerooted Lollipop the SuperSu app gives my Apps rootaccess, but the apps mean no root viable. (TitaniumBackup or SD-Maid)
Why?

If for some reason the "downloaded prerooted" method does not work, whatever went wrong will probably also prevent your selfmade zip from working. So I'd try to get the downloaded one to work before trying a homegrown one.

That method will work as long as You have a root, no matter the version. So You can use the 4.4.4 one with root access too.

When I followed that process for manually creating a customized lollipop version for my phone, It created ftf file. Now moments ago I was excited to follow the FLASH FROM THE PHILZ TOUC RECOVERY, I formatted everything and now my phone cant use FTF file because It needs the flashable zip format file.

Hi can you be more specific on what to wipe at philz touch because there are lots to wipe options in the philz recovery, do i have to wipe all? also from twrp's recovery so please be specific what to wipe because im afraid to wipe all that doesnt have to be wiped,
also after installing flashable zip in the recovery turning off the phone isn't an option there is only restart button there so is it alright to reboot phone after installing flashable zip in recovery then just turn it off after and continue to using flashtool?
and last one, at using flashtool ist it the stock firmware that i need to flash? is it alright to exclude all? or do i have to check the wipes there and also the kernels below excluding system only? thanks

Hi, I tried this multiple times, im rooted 4.4.4 then installed dual recovery then from one of those recovery then i installed "flashsable.zip" after installing flashable zip which is in "step 5" you mentioned turning off phone, do i really need to do the "step 6"? because i notice something in step 5 since after installing the flashable zip thru recovery there is no turn off option so i choose to reboot then i noticed i started my phone with lollipop installed and superSU installed, but i still did whats in your procedure which makes things complicated since i thought if i didnt continue to the whole process maybe something might go wrong , so i turned off my phone and continued to step 6, i flashed my phone using the stock firmware of lollipop then what happened is the superSU is gone.
so my main point is do i really have to continue to step 6?? or even just up to step 5 is fine?
if continuing to step 6 is important please be more specific thanks

You have to do Step 6 just in case flashable zip file contain SYSTEM ONLY (include Options were not checked when using PRFCreator).
In Step 6, flash your phone with FTF file EXCLUDE SYSTEM. That mean you need to check on System Option within the box of Exclude.
Folks, we already have a thread covering EXACTLY this question - was it really necessary to open a new one to ask all questions over and over again?
Look here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/son...lp/rooting-z1-compact-stock-lollipop-t3090021
The instructions included there helped me getting from rooted .157 to rooted Lollipop without touching my locked Bootloader, so they might work for others as well.

THanks buddy. I got my lollipop rooted and working. But there is one thing itching me about lollipop. Even though the camera result looks great in this new OS, but the OS new design theme looks sluggish. I do not feel it is working like it should. I mean a very bad version from SONY. KitKat theme was way more simpler and lighter than this lollipop ****piece. Besides cleanmaster keeps telling me the RAM USAGE around 68%-70% all the time:silly:, even though I applied the same precautions I had on kitkat installation. Kitkat used to run on 70% in heavy usage, otherwise it would run lighter around 46% RAM.
Summing up. Lollipop Version for SONY PHONES, SUCKS

Following this guide will get you a secure boot error when attempting to boot into recovery. Even so following this guide is impossible because root is required and OP has no root on his kdz flashed MM.
My recommended solution would be reverting back to kitkat via kdz. If unfamiliar with the method follow this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2785089
After reverting use the guide from post above: http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/orig-development/recovery-twrp-touch-recovery-2-8-2-0-t2966129
to flash TWRP.
Then fell free to flash whatever you want in TWRP. If stock lollipop ROM is you what you desire, download zip from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/development/stock-t2961073
if stock MM is what you wish for download zips from here:

You can't install it because you don't have root and it is not for MM availible yet

But with root and installing over ADB should work, or not?
I mean root isn't a Big Deal on the G3
Edit: Sorry, now i recognized its the unrooted official MM - maybe to much partying yesterday

Yeah
Even so if his MM would somehow be rooted it was still kdz flashed so it contains
MM bootloader. That equals BUMP not working.
Hope you had fun.

Hello,
I have a HTC M8 rooted (Super SU) with TWRP Recovery and Android ver. 5.0.1, Software ver. 4.19.111.4, Baseband ver. 1.25.2145000021.06G_20.68.4196t.01_F.
Last couple of days, I received a notification to update for android 6.0, but after I downloaded the update and press to "install now", the phone always restarted to TWRP recovery and do not install the update. Any Idea Why ?!!!.
Could any one help me to install the update?
Thanks

Replace the recovery to stock recovery and relock the bootloader. If you installed the modified firmware, reflash the stock firmware, you will be good

how to replace recovery with the stock one. Where I can find it.
Do i lose all my application data doing so.
No, I am using the stock firmware, so I suppose no need to reflash it.

Here you should find the stock recoveries: http://www.andromods.com/download-files/htc-one-m8-stock-recovery-verizon-sprint-att-tmobile.html
download the right recovery.img file and follow these instruction on how to flash - http://androiding.how/how-to-install-twrp-recovery-via-fastboot/ - in this just change the twrp recovery.img to the one you downloaded and run the code in command prompt.
It is recommended to do I clean install to avoid any further reported errors. Once you relock the bootloader you will lose all the data (like hard reset).

Thanks again for the info.
Unfortunately, I could not find the right stock recovery in the link you provided, so I use another one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one-m8/help/tutorial-how-to-stock-stock-twrp-t3086860.
However, I have to ask, if I am on stock firmware; only rooted through SuperSU and with TWRP recovery,
do I need to reinstall (reflash) or restore to sotck firmware as in steps # 7 to 9 in the post (link) I added, or
can I directly flash the stock recovery and then relock the bootloder and start downloading the update 6.0
Thank.

First thing .. you cannot do OTA with a rooted stock ROM, you need a non-rooted ROM.
Secondly .. there is no need to relock bootloader - read the note in my thread.
Just read again post #1 and follow all the 14 steps, you should be fine.
Anything, you can ask in my thread as I'm not following your thread.

Hi Guys!
This is not a "How to Flash Stock Rom Tutorial"
I made this thread because these ROMs are not easily available and people have to install a lot of OTA updates to get to them.
Keeping it short, this is a thread for latest stock ROMs for Lenovo K4 Note/Vibe X3 Lite (both Lollipop and Marshmallow) which is flashable via SP Flash Tool.
The last Lollipop Stock Rom is S152 and the Latest Marshmallow stock rom is S232 (supports VOLTE).
Previously, we have to flash old lollipop rom and then update it around 5 times via OTAs to get to the last lollipop version i.e S152 and then and only then we could update it to Marshmallow via an OTA and even after updating to MM we still needed to install around 5 OTA updates to get to the latest version of the ROM i.e currently S230 (as on 12 Dec 2016).
For ROOTING:
* Use Kingroot APK for Lollipop
* Use TWRP method by flashing SuperSu zip for Marshmallow (any version of MM)
"BOOTLOADER CAN BE EASILY UNLOCKED IN BOTH THE ROMS (same method)"
LINKS: THESE ARE DIRECTLY FLASHABLE via SP FLASH TOOL
[LP] STOCK Lollipop S152 (Last Version released by lenovo) [1.7gb] :

I'll try to update the thread with latest links/versions whenever possible.
Click thanks if helped.
Cheers! Bye!

I had same issue, tried everything. Flashing via bootloader didn't work.
Flashing only stock recovery via SP tools sent my phone to boot loop. Had to flash whole rom again to get stock recovery.
Here is what I did.
Download S218 rom, flash all except cache & user data (This will preserve your data & apps, but root will be removed)
Download S219 from here, flash manually via stock recovery.
Update to S230 via OTA.
Root again with same procedure for MM.

Hi guys,
I lost nvram, lost the IMEI.
Got a nvram from internet, Works, but no VoLTE. I tried to change the IMEI using maui meta. It shows errors as nvram database is not for S232.
Can someone give me their nvram from S232(which has VoLTE) ? Don't worry, I'll change it to my IMEI number/ serial to the values in the box. I need my IMEI back.
