As there are enormous bugs in the lolipop ota update for lenovo a6000 and a6000 plus I decided to revert back to Android KitKat.
Note: (For advanced users only) Go ahead if you have a little knowledge about flashing a stock rom.
1. Here is the link for the tutorial to revert back to KitKat for lenovo a6000 which also works for lenovo a6000 plus with some extra efforts
(although there is QFIL, flashing through the lenovo downloader is recommended as well as easy)
Mod edit: Link removed
Flashing requires a UPS backup or a laptop which won't shutdown in the middle as this process requires 6-8 mins
Done for Lenovo a6000.
IMP Note:
i. Do not unplug the usb cable if after plugging in the phone in download mode the adb interface driver is not installed by windows and flashing is started. Its normal.
ii. In lenovo downloader it will seem like the flashing is stuck after some seconds but it is not so the flashing is going on so DO NOT UNPLUG THE USB.
iii. In lenovo downloader in the step tab only the firehose is seen but it doesn't mean that flashing is stuck. Let the process finish without disturbing the USB cable. It will require 6 to 8 minutes or 15 minutes max.
Now futher steps for Lenovo a6000 plus:
This flashing will make your lenovo a6000 plus into lenovo a6000 and won't display ram and rom properly in device as well as your computer when connected via USB.
So for lenovo a6000 plus after flashing the lenovo a6000 stock rom:
2. you need to boot into cwm by fastboot https://youtu.be/giBK8LsL-Ko
3. and recover the cwm backup from the cwm recovery http://techolaty.net/lenovo-a6000-plus-stock-rom-cwm-backup/
4. Reboot your device from the same custom recovery after the restore is complete.
5. First boot will take up to 5-6 mins after that do a factory reset from the settings menu or from the stock recovery. If you don't perform a factory reset you will see your internal storage as 4.33gb only.
Video guide
All firmware updates work for Lenovo A6000 as we have flashed the original stock rom of lenovo A6000.
But as there is no stock rom available on the internet for lenovo A6000 plus, The minor firmware updates wont work for Lenovo A6000 plus it gives a status 7 error even after flashing the stock recovery, however the lollipop update gives an error status 14 but works fine.

You dont need recovery backup to restore from recovery., You can flash the whole ROM all the way
this is too hard, but there is a simple way to revert back to kitkat

Try to use adb first then flash new twrp
My A6000 plus is restarting continuously but it is entering in fastboot mode and download 9008 mode. Is it really a battery problem or something motherboard problem because I tried each and every method like flashing by QFIL with ROW firmwares like S013,S034,S061 etc. But phone isn't turning on normally it is bootlooping. Please help??. Not booting in stock recovery also.

Unbrick dead Lenovo A6000 or revert to 4.4.4
Hey,
I tried the method : devs-lab. com/2015/10/how-to-unbrick-dead-lenovo-a6000-plus-or-revert-back-to-kitkat-4-4-4.html Even I bricked my device after installing CM 11. This article helped me unbrick it, very easily. I think CM11 is still buggy. Anyways, stock VibeUI (4.4.4) gives me around 400mb free (after boot 500mb) RAM after unbricking by the above method. :fingers-crossed: Amd yeah, after unbricking you can install OTA updates.
PS: I can't post links. Copy the above link in browser

Please help. I have k4 note A7010a48 which has 16GB and 3GB updated to S219. I had rooted my device with TWRP and SuperSU 2.78. I wanted to update my device to latest version which is s232. Hence after suggestion and searching through the internet, i recently flashed stock recovery.img whose size was 13MB via SP Flash Tool. Now my phone is constantly going through boot loop. though i am able to go to stock recovery i dont have any idea how to remove my boot loop. i tired searching in XDA forums too but i could only see that it has stock rom of A7010 only. please help. My computer's OS is windows 10. if it may help. also i think that the drivers that i have for this device isnt functioning properly. i have a TWRP backup of my phone also. i would be very grateful if anyone could kindly help me get through this mess.
flash it with spflashtool to the current official rom, should fix your device, though it might erase your imei numbers which you'll need to restore incase that happens...
good luck!
I am having some issues when its in download mode my pc shows alot of drives n asking me to format it n the downloder is not reading my phone n the fastboot is showing the remote error n adb doesnt detect my phone at all......i need helppp*
I tried installing the stock os several times before but my phone boots to the 'lenovo for those who do' part n then reboots....it reboots before even the logo completes......it booted once n there is no sound no readings for sim at all......I NEED SERIOUS HELP

Which version os did you have when the phone got bricked? I suppose you have twrp installed. First try to wipe data partition in twrp and reboot.
If that won't work then try installing a custom rom same as the android version you had on your phone (for example, if you had marshmallow os the find a marshmallow custom rom).
You can also try the same with any latest stock firmware. Make sure it is a flashable zip.
Hope this helps.
