Phone vibrating continuously every other second . Does not boot up - Lenovo A6000/Plus Questions & Answers

I was trying to flash a custom ROM in my Lenovo A6000. I rooted the phone with KingRoot. Then using Rashr I flashed the twrp img. I went to recovery and then I made a backup using TWRP's Backup option. I rebooted the phone and again went to recovery Then tapping the Wipe option I went toAdvanced Wipe where I checked the boxes next to Data, System, Cache, Dalvik. After that I went to the Install option where I chose the ROM.zip file from the sd card. The installation failed, I tried to install again but it failed again ( I must have had a bad copy of the file ). Since I had already wiped the system I went to the Restore option, chose the backed up file to restore. The restore was successful. But when I tapped the Reboot button after a couple of seconds the device screen went off and the phone kept on vibrating continuously after short intervals. I tried pressing the POWER button for a long time--> keeps on vibrating. I tried going to recovery by pressing the hardware keys--> still keeps on vibrating. I tried connecting to the computer after taking out the battery and replacing it. NOthing seems to work. It keeps showing the same problem. Please Help...

There is nothing to do with it anymore. Get it back to the customer care center.

They will.

No need to go to customer care.
Power off the phone .
Press vol down and power button and it will boot into boot loader
Connect the USB cable .
Go to ed300's post and download the tarp recovery for lollipop and KitKat.
If the base ROM on which u have flashed the new ROM was KitKat use the KitKat twrp.
Else use the lollipop twrp.
Extract the required zip file.
After connecting the USB after that click on the file named Flash . after its completed click on Boot file .after that's also done again click the Flash file .
After that it will show (waiting for device )
And the phone will boot to the recovery mode and u can flash the ED300's ROM I prefer CM12.1
Good luck.

I have hard bricked my Lenovo A6000 Plus, no fastboot, no recovery, not detected by pc either, just phone is vibrating continuously after pressing the power button. I have seen some tutorials of other Phone brands of how to test point their motherboards, Plz help me to give command or test pin my motherboard chipset as well, I don't know where it is located exactly. Thanks.

[Q] [q] heelp mee pleaase !!

heei guys .
half a year before I bought the zte blade, and so far it worked well.
but suddenly it stops working ..
whenever I try my cell phone goes immediately to start the red "back" button on (bright red) and then there's the green robot android, then the blue zte intro and then it all over again ..
I have not changed my zte (clockwork, rom)
I know myself well not so good ..
would be really nice if someone could help me ..
I do not know what to do ..!!!
or is it maybe bricked ?!
thanks ..
Its not bricked as it still boots up.
When exactly does the phone crash - when you make a call, start an app, or just automatically reboots?
Did you install a new app just before this started happening?
Is the phone rooted?
Are you sure the battery is ok? Try starting phone with charger plugged in.
ouh ..
yes when i switch the phone on the android boot logo cames then the (blue) zte intro .. and then the zte intro comes again and again ...
noo ..
aahm ? i dont do anything with the pc and the zte ..
so i think i dont root it or something ..
one time there was "ftm" on the screen (after it had this problem).. but i didnt know what this is ..
thank you in front off !!!
but i didnt came anymore to the homescreen , or lock screen
Try booting into recovery and clear the cache? I remember my old G1 did the same thing, and after clearing the system cache it worked.
To boot into recovery i think you keep hold of volume down when turning the device on.
If that doesn't work you could wipe the device, but you'll loose everything on it then.

The issue you have is this, the rom that has been flashed to the phone is for Gen 2, but the phone is still set on Gen 1.
You'll need to boot into recovery and perform a restore, or flash Ginger stir Fry Rom, then the phone will work.

Solutions depend on
-- whether or not u have custom recovery installed ,
-- whether or not fastboot is enabled in your device. (It isn't enabled only in stock gen2 firmware)
-- whether or not u have rooted and made changes to system partition.
Possible solutions
-- If u have custom recovery installed then format (= wipe data/factory reset) the device from the recovery.
Power off the device. Then by holding volume down power on the device. This takes u into custom recovery menu if it is installed. If custom recovery isn't installed this takes you to FTM MODE.
-- If u have fastboot enabled then use this method to format ur device. Power off the device. Then hold volume up and power on the device. Here the device should stay at green android logo forever if fastboot is enabled. This is fastboot mode. Now install zte USB drivers in PC and connect phone in fastboot mode to PC. It will install the software. Now in device manager u shouldn't see any android named devices with yellow unrecognised format. Then use fastboot windows tools from command prompt. The command to format tthe device is
fastboot erase userdata
-- if the above processes didn't work then using tpt is recommended way. U can flash complete low level device firmware using tpt. U can flash either a recovery alone to hard reset. Or u can flash a complete rom. On bit searching at modaco u will get more information regarding everything.

THANK YOU !!
but i dont understand that things .. ?!
can you explain me your answer for people do not understand much of it ?
Download gen1 to gen2 (there is a download link in this section) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1258855
Unzip the file and place the image ( the image is called image, not gen1 to gen2) on the root of your sd card (ideally it is best to do this on a pc)
Also download and place the Rom you wish to use on the root of your SD card (cyanogenMod 7.1.0 stable release works well) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1297776
DO NOT UNZIP THE ROM at this stage.
Put the SD card back into the phone.
Power off the phone, hold menu & vol + (up) & power at the same time, you should see some green writing, wait until it is finished (well done your phone is now gen2)
You should now arrive at the clockwork recovery screen, if not power off the phone, then hold vol - (down) and power (together), clockwork will boot.
Now using clockwork recovery, clear data/factory reset, then install your rom from the zip, that is all there is to it, obviously you'll have to enter your login details to use the market and sync your contacts etc, but your phone should now be working.
Don't forget to make a nandroid backup.
Goodluck

Other kind of boot loop...

Hi all!
Here is a little problem that i didn't solved.
i have a N910F Note 4 that likes to boot loop . I received it as it is and don't know what caused it(i suppose that was a rooting issue because had the knox value 1)
During the all time, PC and MAC were unable to recognize the Note 4, despite of repeatedly reinstalled drivers(older and newer versions) , Keys and Smart Switch were unable to recognize the device, PC is failing to install the MTP driver for some reason. I changed the USB ports,restarted,updated drivers,updated windows etc. -NO RESULT. BUT : Somehow Keys is able to run recovery and initialization and install it on the device while saying Connecting device... , phone also doesn't appear in device manager or file explorer as external drive.NOTHING! Odin and Jodin says ''added!'' and starts the job with no comments
1. I tried different versions of boot loaders with different versions of ROM (all for my specific model) with no result.
The end of the boot is when Samsung logo ,sound and graphic appears but freezes before actually starting OS, then restarts. IT keeps restarting until battery goes off(even while connected to pc by usb!!! ). Then starts to charge the battery normally.
It boots in recovery and download mode with no problems, it did every time i flashed it…
2. I tried different versions of boot loaders with stock roms , custom kernels etc...and the problem was the same
3. I tried to flash with Odin the stock 4.4.4 without problems but….the problem was the same
4.I tried Device recovery and initialization with Keys and here something interesting happened:
First time when i did it, it went over the samsung logo and booted. I selected language,i skipped wifi network selection and i accepted the user agreement. No matter how fast i was moving, the boot loop didn't went over the user name selection which is after the user agreement. Then freeze and boot again.
Second time when recovered with Keys (tried more stuff in the mean time) it went over the logo and started to update like…''updating applications 2of 17'' the max reach point was ''3 apps of 17'' and then freeze and reboot
I am out of ideas so i suspect that the battery might be dead because it gets empty even if is charging while phone is ''boot looping''. I ordered a battery,should arrive soon.
If that don't work…i am gonna spend some cash and sent it to Samsung for repairs (i bet that it won't be cheap because they will probably tell me that is the motherboard fried so they make you pay for being a bad boy and tried to root). Far as i know is not a brick as long as download mode and recovery works just fine.
Is here someone that has any new ideas for bringing this phone to life? Any help is well received , maybe i skipped something….
Thank you in advance.
Boot into recovery and perform a factory reset, it will wipe the internal storage.

Uninstall Kies, and install Samsung USB drivers: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24052804347849220
Take the battery out, leave it for approximately 10 seconds, enter the battery back in.
Hold volume down key + Home key and power on the device.
Then plug the mobile phone into the computer.
Run Odin as Admin: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24052804347851815
Then flash the firmware in the AP section.
Make sure that the firmware is for your region, you can download it from Sammobile or SamFirm.
i have the same problem, but mine doesn't let the samsung logo finish when it shows the letter S on samsung logo it goes restart again no sound or anything, recovery is accesible, download mode is also accessible, i can flash official firmware and factory reset but nothing change, still stuck in bootloop no one here in xda knows how to fix it i think.. or they just never encounter something like this
i know how to fix an ordinary bootloops or soft bricked.. but this one is different.. i think there's something with note 4 that causes this..

Yes, it doesn't go after the Samsung graphics , mine does sound. Goes to app updates only after Kies recovery but doesn't go more far than updating apps 3/17 for ex…crushes there and starts over….weird.
One time i managed to actually go to setup menu, choose country,wifi, device name, and there crushed and started over…. So i am thinking now that the battery might be wasted because i saw posts saying that after the 5.0.1 update many Note 4's went to boot loop and the battery change solved the problem. Now i have new battery coming by post.
Hi I had a similar problem but I do not know if that works but always worth a try
1. download recovery - "twrp-2.8.1.0-trltexx"(.tar) cant post link fresh in forum
2. flash recovery through Odin (AP) ( run as administrator)
3. unplug the cable
4. Reboot to Recovery (home+power+wolume up)
5. Then go to Wipe/Advanced Wipe/check the boxes - Dalvik Cache,System,Data,Cache and Swipe to Wipe
6. Reboot to Download Mode
7. Open Odin ( run as administrator) choise the rom to flash
8 Connect the phone
7. Flash Your Stock Rom
8. Reboot
always in Odin load the file first to flash and then connect the phone
sorry for my English

if you can stay in recovery mode and download mode for more than 10mins i think its not battery problem, i think i have corrupted system files, i left my note 4 to samsung service center a while ago i will get it tom, i just hope they wont charge me too much for it,

nah it doesnt work thats the first thing I do, that only work on ordinary bootloop
I was stuck in a boot loop the other day trying to flash a stock ROM to get rid of encryption. I tried all the stuff mentioned in this thread which is just standard procedure but I couldn't get past the samsung logo. What it turned out to be was that you need to go to stock recovery after flashing the stock ROM via odin and do a factory data reset then it will boot to the OS. It worked in my case, maybe you can give it a try.

if you read the above post you will know that we already wipe and factory reset,
btw since i was not able to fix it, it brought it to samsung service center and they also cant fix it so they are changing the motherboard, so far they are not charging me anything and just asking to bring my receipt of purchase so it will be under warranty

I read the post; however, it did not appear as though you did a factory reset after flashing the stock ROM only before. At any rate at least you're getting a new mobo out of it and problem solved.

HELP!!! Phone not booting and vibrating continuously after short intervals

I was trying to flash a custom ROM in my Lenovo A6000. I rooted the phone with KingRoot. Then using Rashr I flashed the twrp img. I went to recovery and then I made a backup using TWRP's Backup option. I rebooted the phone and again went to recovery Then tapping the Wipe option I went toAdvanced Wipe where I checked the boxes next to Data, System, Cache, Dalvik. After that I went to the Install option where I chose the ROM.zip file from the sd card. The installation failed, I tried to install again but it failed again ( I must have had a bad copy of the file ). Since I had already wiped the system I went to the Restore option, chose the backed up file to restore. The restore was successful. But when I tapped the Reboot button after a couple of seconds the device screen went off and the phone kept on vibrating continuously after short intervals. I tried pressing the POWER button for a long time--> keeps on vibrating. I tried going to recovery by pressing the hardware keys--> still keeps on vibrating. I tried connecting to the computer after taking out the battery and replacing it. NOthing seems to work. It keeps showing the same problem. Please Help...

First of all " don't panic ", its nothing. First remove your battery and then insert it. Now press "VOL UP + VOL DOWN + POWER KEY" together and leave the " POWER KEY " once the lenovo logo shows up. You'll enter into recovery. Now, wipe the cache, dalvik and reboot. If still doesn't boot, then wipe data, android secure too (not system). This will surely do.
And, mention the error you faced while installing the new ROM, like Error 6 or anything. If you were on stock kk earlier, then to flash Lollipop ROMs, you'll have to flash stock LP ROM first.

I had tried that too. But the only response I get are those continuous vibrations. The screen does not light up at all. No, its not a display problem. I can't do anything with the phone, can't enter recovery. The only response to whatever I do plug in power supply, press the power key, press the key combination to go into recovery, plug into laptop and such are those vibrations.

Same problem with me, I was browsing facebook and suddenly my phone's screen blacks out. I can access recovery ,my device is detected by PC normally and can access all files, but display blacks out and I cannot see anything.
If I boot phone normally, It starts vibrating periodically. Maybe, because of Bootloops.
(Funny thing is, I can feel everything but cannot see anything on my phone)
Which version of Android was before?

Did you installed the Qualcomm drivers mentioned in that post..? And was your device listed in Device Manager on pc, as "Qualcomm Predloader stuff..."... ??
I've experienced the same problem. I simply headed to the service centre ang got my display changed for free.(as under warranty)
Sent from my Lenovo A6000 Plus
in my experience, if your PC can recognize the device as qualcom.. you should go with the file.
if your device still vibrating countinuosly.. you should do test point
if test point not working. please go to lennove service center.
I also faced that problem when doing an ota update of MiUi and the I had to change the motherboard . Since it was under warranty I got it replaced for free.
did you got any solution

Help! Stuck in TWRP recovery

Hi Guys,
Long story short, I got the root to work at first, but I was having issues with PlayStore as I couldn't install most of the apps. Then I tried wipe data and restored TWRP backup which didn't fix the problem and lost SuperSU. I tried to reflash SuperSU and failed. Lastly, I did a factory reset via the OS's settings menu and my phone would never boot into System again. I tried using LGUP tool to flash the TOT tool, but it doesn't find my device. My phone is now officially softbricked. Any help is appreciated. I will donate if that is needed
Thanks

I haven't run into this on my V20, but a couple times on my V10 when i'd softbricked my device and couldn't seem to revive it (even with ToT or KDZ files on LGUP) i was able to recover with LG bridge. Basically you go to the third tab titled "software update" but instead of selecting software update, select the "update error recovery" link at the bottom right. It takes awhile but i think it downloads and restores files (or maybe partitions) that other recovery methods don't. Give it a try and let us know if it worked.

Yeah windows sees it as a Portable Device (Attached), I can transfer files to it.
This is very similar to what happened to me, I couldn't get into TWRP though.
I could not find a resolution then and still havent, but I did return my phone for a new one.

I guess I can only wait for a custom ROM now
I'm having the same issue. I've tried every step here. I've flashed multiple ROMS, just hoping one would boot and every one keeps booting right back into TWRP after showing the "your device software cannot be checked for corruption...".
PLEASE HELP! LOL...not sure what else to do. I'm, using the latest version of TWRP and I can get into bootloader.
Tried running the "EasyRecowvery.cmd" and it loads fine. I go into twrp and do the format data and then attempt to run any of the options and I get a "This Device doesn't look like a T-Mobile V20. Proceed anyway? I stop and can't get anything. But when it initially ran it said SUCCESS when locating adb .exe and found the device as well omni_h918.
No matter what it continues to go into TWRP. ANY ANY ANY additional help would be great. I want to return this device to T-Mobile before my 14 days is up. Please help out if you can.

I had this issue on my Verizon variant the other day and I tried everything I could think of. I flashed roms, restored backups, redid the dirtysanta method several times, flashed the boot images in fastboot, and nothing worked. What finally did work (can't make any promises but this worked for me): steps below
*restore your full stock backup (if you have one)
*after the backup is restored, in TWRP, go to mount, and mount the system. Check the box and press the mount USB storage button
*power off device
*use the button combo to boot into TWRP. It's volume down + power, as soon as you see the LG logo let go of power for a breif moment and press and hold it until a white screen comes up. Choose yes for the next two options. This will bring you back into TWRP.
*now go back to mount and check system, and press the mount button, and reboot system.
This got me out of TWRP and booting normally. I haven't had an issue since.

Hi Guys,
Long story short, I got the root to work at first, but I was having issues with PlayStore as I couldn't install most of the apps. Then I tried wipe data and restored TWRP backup which didn't fix the problem and lost SuperSU. I tried to reflash SuperSU and failed. Lastly, I did a factory reset via the OS's settings menu and my phone would never boot into System again. I tried using LGUP tool to flash the TOT tool, but it doesn't find my device. My phone is now officially softbricked. Any help is appreciated. I will donate if that is needed
Thanks

You, sir, are a lifesaver. I jumped through all the same hoops as you and was actually starting to panic a little, as the last time I got into a similar string of unsuccessful fixes, I managed to hard brick my Note 2. This worked like a charm on my Verizon variant (the backup part was seemingly unnecessary, as my backup was toast by this point). You definitely have my thanks!

Awesome. I was getting a little worried myself when I was stuck in TWRP because I was trying everything I could think of.
I didn't think the backup part was necessary but it's one of those things where you mention everything you did just in case.

^ This 100% worked for me after my h918 got stuck in recovery after I got a system update message and accidently selected "reboot & install".

OMG thank you so much. Merry Christmas to me. It worked like a charm. Tytyty

I had the same issue after rooting with Dirty Santa and have been sweating it for the past hour. Stumbled upon your solution and voila! THANK YOU!!

I had some trouble following this at first but it indeed worked.
My v20 was stuck in TWRP (3.0.2-1) after forgetfully hitting OK on the System Update, it was running H91810q and was previously rooted.
I first backed up my phone in TWRP to my SD card and then copied that to my laptop.
In TWRP: Mount > System, I have 3 buttons on the bottom: 'Mount USB Storage', 'Select Storage', and 'Disable MTP'. If I choose 'Mount USB Storage' it goes to the next screen and the only button is Unmount. I cannot get it to shutdown without pulling the battery.
What is missing here is to press Unmount go back to the main TWRP menu, then Reboot > Power Off.
I held Power+VolumeDown, released Power while still holding volume down and I got the white Factory data reset screen. I choose Yes on the next two options to perform the factory reset.
Then it restarted and went back into TWRP. I choose Mount, selected System, pressed Mount USB Storage, then Unmount, Reboot, System.
It booted and took a while since I also flashed the H91810t rom to do an upgrade at the same time from here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/v20/development/rom-h91810q-stock-rom-twrp-flashable-zip-t3681312
Interesting all my apps, and settings were still on the phone.
THANK YOU FOR SAVING MY PHONE, TIME AND $ !!!

Glad you got it working. As far as the issue with the instructions that could be down to a change in the newer versions of TWRP. I posted this 16 months ago and many new versions of TWRP have come out since. I remember trying to be extremely accurate in my instructions but it is possible I screwed up. Been too long ago and I can't remember now.

J5 not booting up

First it started right into Odin Mode. After holding Volume Down and Power to exit it, the screen went black (as expected). However, afterwards it won't boot up again. Tried normal boot, recovery and download. Removed the battery and put it again, didn't work. Also tried various cables and outlets. Tried the sequence for download mode (holding Power + Volume Down + Home, then pressing Volume Up - even if it didn't show anything on screen) and connected it to my PC. The computer played the sound as if a device was connected, then after some seconds Windows said that the USB device was not recognized. Odin did not recognize it either. Samsung 300K tool doesn't work as well. Do you have any suggestions, please? It's quite urgent.
Try installing official device drivers Inform us after that what's happening. Thank you

I can't. It's not booting at all. Never rooted it or changed its ROM.
You mean it doesn't even show download mood or recovery mood?

Yes, not even the charging battery logo when it is powered on. Tried using an USB Jig, fails as well.

I'm sorry to say that.. It's a hardware related issue... U need to take it to service center to repair Thank you
I've flashed marshmallow stock on stock lollipop via Odin but after completion J500H boots and immediately resets or off after first boot screen appears. so please help that why this problem is here???
Also please tell that custom ROM can be installed on the J500H or not ( bootloops and restart issue immediately)
Is it possible to flash again? If yes...
Then first wipe delvik cache then flash again, before flashing make sure to untick auto reboot on odin's log option... After flashing done don't reboot immediately first wipe delvik cache then restart...
If it doesn't allow you to flash then u need to take it to service center...
Yes it's possible to install custom rom using Odin but sometimes it fails if usb debugging is not enabled! You can search on Google for that or any thread here.
