Recently, I tried to install a custom ROM of Android L (beta), which bricked my device (Canvas A1).
My device Neither boots nor able to go to recovery mode or fastboot.
Pressing power button or Power+Volume Up isn't booting anything.
My bootloader is actually unlocked.
So I tried to flash stock ROM using SP Flashing Tool and it downloaded successsfully.
But still not booting.
Is there any other way to unbrick it rather than going to Micromax Service Center??
Thanks in Advance
Problem solved!
Actually, I had used an old version of SP Tools which didn't support MTK6582 scatter configs.
Then v.5.1424 from http://forum.xda-developers.com/canvas-a1/development/official-stock-rom-canvas-a1-t2887150 helped me out and I successfully downloaded the stock ROM in meta-mode.
For users who encounter the problem:
First, Install VCOM drivers for MTK devices..
Then install Android CDC Gadget Drivers.
Download the KitKat stock ROM.. (See instructions there)
Use SP Flash Tools v5.1424 from there to download it.
Use both 'download' and 'firmware upgrade' modes to flash.
Other issues after flashing:
Also fixed IMEI issues using http://en.miui.com/thread-10061-1-1.html (Needs unlocked bootloader again)
Fixed Wi-fi error using http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2730486 (Needs root access)
Rooted KitKait using TWRP recovery and installed SuperSu 2.40 without bootloader unlock (doesnot void warranty if warranty present)

For users who encounter the problem:
To get warranty back by resetting flash counter, choose "Firmware Upgrade" in SP Tools, which will automatically lock bootloader and set flash_counter=0
You can check it by running the command "fastboot getvar all" in fastboot mode using ADB kit or tools in PC.

Download the KitKat stock ROM..
Flash using latest SP Flash Tools v5.1548 (This is the latest version & highly recommended)
Use both 'download' and 'firmware upgrade' modes

Hi, my phone stuck on asus logo.
I can get to cmw tempairy recovery, ithink
When. Install the firmware from asus site, its says cant verify
Failed to verify whole file signature.what shuld i do pleaae?
Okay, not enough information, since you are using cwm temporary I am guessing you have not unlocked your boot loader which will cause the fail, can you get into the bootloader?
If you can follow the instructions and download the current rooted Rom and follow instructions to flash the stock rom

You can't flash asus firmware with cwm.
You can unbrick with adb sideload.
See THIS GUIDE how to sideload
I am done here, if you choose to follow advice to try using temp cwm to fix your phone I am sure you fail, your best solution is to use bootloader to flash, everything you need is in this thread, if you choose not to do the proper research before you start flashing things without doing the proper research before then you are beyond help here.

it says in device manager " asus android bootloader interference"
and in the phone its says normal boot and there is icon of open android/
and it written in blue "continue the fast boot process
try "fastboot devices"
if it answers than try flashing twrp or stock recovery
command to flash recovery "fastboot flash recovery filename.img"
after that u can try to flash custom rom using twrp or stock rom via twrp or stock firmware using adb sideload
I manage to make it work and install cm 13 the latest nightly.but when I make a call or receive one the phone reboots itself. What is the problem? Thanks
try factory resetting it

Hello. I bought a Lenovo P1 turbo phone. I managed to unlock the bootloader.
Now I have few questions:
1. How does one relock the bootloader?
2. How to root the said phone?
3. Can I unroot?
4. If I am rooted, can I relock bootloader?
Model: P1a42
ROM: P1a42_S288_160721_ROW
Version: Android 6.0.1
I read some guides, but they appear to be related to the P1 phone. Mine is a Turbo.

Your phone is same as normal P1

3. Yes u can flash back stock rom
4. idk

I did this: https://forum.xda-developers.com/vibe-p1/how-to/lenovo-vibe-p1-a42-c72-root-ready-t3533693
With S288 firmware and it would revert me back to stock recovery. Then I tried fastboot boot recovery.img and it worked . I managed to root the phone.
However now "adb reboot bootloader" would make the phone stuck on lenovo logo and bootloader won't show. Is this fixable?

XDA developers plz plz help me plz give me complete guide about how to install twrp recovery on Lenovo vibe p1a42 plz guyz
Hello, i am a NOOB here.
my Lenovo Vibe K5 (A6020 a46) (Indian Variant) was kept untouched with all the root and Custom rom stuff. Now i want to get to the Custom ROM part.
and i have had all prerequisites. (Developer options, Oem unlocking, adb driveres)
Firstly to unlock bootloader. Is this really importat? (because i got my phone boot through twrp temporarily via faastboot using cmd))
So when i tried using adb commands i get the OEM UNLOCK nOT ALLOWED
and for this problem i have browsed through xda and go tsomething named qsfi, sahara problem. i dont know what that means.
What is the problem with my phone and how can i resolve it?
Same issue
I'm facing exactly same issue
The phone is unlocked out of the box, you don't need to unlock it.
What if you buy the phone from your
Provider?? Can someone say will it be bootloader unlocked??
Becouse like the Sony Xperia models
All provider phones comes with bootloader locked forever.. You can not evan have twrp or root with locked bootloader
Please give me some advice before buying this phone
There is no need to unlock bootloader, just enable oem unlock from the developer option and that's it. I have tried this method and trust me it worked. Now I'm enjoying lineage os 15 on my K5 Plus. :fingers-crossed:

You dont need the booloader to be unlocked.
Download Pixel Experience Rom, make an backup of stock rom if you dont have one and Wipe Data, Cache, Dalvik and System trough recovery.
Now Flash Pixel Experience Rom and Magisk.
