[Rescue] Restore Stock / Flash OTA successfully on Lenovo Vibe K5 Plus 3 GB - Lenovo Vibe K5 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion

Hello,
I have seen a lot of guys asking for help regarding the OTA failure on K5 Plus. I am using the 3 GB variant of A6020a46. To make life a lot easier, I have decided to show you how install the OTA without errors or rescue incase of any failures.

Things Required:
First of all, make sure you have these:
A6020a46_USR_S045_1606082200_Q1021101.2_BMAIN_16G_ROW.zip - Full ROM
A6020a46_S045_160608_ROW_TO_A6020a46_S056_161019_16G_ROW_WCE40BC597.zip - OTA
A6020a46_S056_161019_ROW_TO_A6020a46_S105_161124_ROW_WC2272CE3C.zip - Latest VoLTE OTA
QPST(Contains QFIL)
Qualcomm Drivers(Signed)
Make sure you follow these steps exactly
This tutorial has two stages - If your phone is brand new: proceed to step - b. If you have messed up following the tutorials online, forget everything and start from step - a:
a) Flashing with Fresh Stock ROM(requires PC)
Install the drivers and QPST without any errors(Sometimes you may need to disable Driver Signature Check, Google how to do it)
Charge your device fully or atleast 75%
Extract the S045 version to the clean location. Try to keep the path as simple as possible.
Open the QFIL application
Press both Volume + and - together and connect your phone
The red LED will glow and your PC will detect the phone
On QFIL, It will show as qualcomm hs-usb qdloader 9008 <COM PORT>

Click Load XML and choose rawprogram_unsparse.xml and patch0.xml files
Click Download and the flashing will begin.
Be patient, it will take upto 15 minutes
After the flashing is complete, you will see the blue text: DOWNLOAD SUCCESSFUL
Disconnect the phone from the PC
Now press the power button and wait for the phone to boot up(Be patient, first boot will take longer)
Don't insert sim / sdcard yet
Once you see welcome screen, just do basic configs and reach the home screen
This is the tricky part! Don't do any configs or settings...
At this stage, when you type ####6020#, it will show you default - This is completely normal
Now follow the procedure a) above
b) Updating the phone with OTA
You may get OTA on your phone or when turning on the brand new one
Make sure you are on stock firmware and NOT rooted
Charge your device for about 75%
Download the OTA from above links
Extract the zip for these files: India2Default.ota.zip, India.ota.zip, System.zip
First flash S056 and then S105
Switch OFF the phone and reboot into recovery(Press Vol +, Vol - and Power together)
Follow this order while flashing: India2Default.ota.zip -> System.zip -> India.ota.zip
Choose install update from sdcard and select the OTA zip & confirm.
It will take about 15-20 minutes for the each of the OTA to install
After update, phone will reboot automatically
Be very patient, first boot will take a bit longer
Congrats, your phone has been updated! Enjoy!
S105 is the VoLTE update and latest at the time of writing this tutorial
Please press thanks instead of posting thanks.
DO NOT COPY/PASTE THIS ANYWHERE, respect my time spent on this.

Even after following the procedure, when I try to install the OTA zip, it still gives me the error that my device can't switch carriers.

Will only work if you have not/do not insert(ed) a SIM (yet).
If you've finished flashing the stock firmware and still aren't able to update your phone, download the two ota zip files from the original post, extract the "S045" archive to a folder and copy two files from here viz. "system.zip" and "your_region.zip" e.g. France.zip (the one with default in the name is not needed) and place them in your phone's memory card or internal storage. Now, shut down your phone and start it with all buttons pressed (Vol up + Vol down + power), it'll bring up the recovery menu. If you have stock recovery, press "apply update from sd card" and select "your_region.zip" file. It should flash and reboot the device. After the phone boots up, go to dialer, type in ####6020#, it'll bring up a menu (takes some time), here your region should appear, press on it and just exit ( do not press anything else). Now shut down your device again and start it into recovery mode again, this time flash the "system.zip" file. It'll take some time. It'll reboot phone. Delete both the files from your phone. After this is done, follow the same procedure with the "S056" archive, but this time you'll only need to flash it's "system.zip" file. You'll have VoLTE support now. Enjoy.

Bro I'm getting error while flashing the system zip

Hey, sorry guys! I was away due to my work. I recommended this device for my friend & he bought it. He was testing Lineage OS and decided to roll back to stock ROM. We noticed that we need to update the device in a tricky way. We flashed the device through PC but could not update it via OTA due to some errors with carrier switching. After some research, found that we need to extract the OTA zip and flash the files in this order: India2Default.ota.zip -> System.zip -> India.ota.zip. This time it was 100% successful and completed without errors. I just updated my post! Strange that I didn't get these errors

@Joysharoon S056 and S105 are OTA updates and can't be flashed through QFIL. Don't make it too hard! First flash S045 through PC. Then extract these files: India2Default.ota.zip, India.ota.zip, System.zip from the OTA into separate folders and copy them to sdcard. Now boot into stock recovery and flash them...
Order
S045 - PC flash
S056 - OTA (Recovery flash)
S105 - OTA (Recovery flash)

Rooting and TWRP Moto G 2015 LTE - XT1078 / XT1072

Original post at XDA Forum -http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g-2015/general/rooting-moto-g-2015-lte-xt1078-t3086069
Xt1072 root confirmed by jamespat93 - Txs for all the testing!
* Atention: This post is under construction, the "more detailed, noobie-friendly" version will come eventually *
Just face this journey if you do have a considerable knowledge of Android
I am not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards following these directions.
YOU are choosing to make these modifications on your device. I absolutely disclaim any responsibility.

STEP 1 - You DO NEED to get your bootloader unlock
Pre procedure: enable developers options and allow bootloader unlock
Noobie corner 1: Activating Developer Options -- Once you’ve found the Build number section of the settings, tap on the section 7 times. After two taps, a small pop up notification should appear saying "you are now X steps away from being a developer" with a number that counts down with every additional tap.
Noobie corner 2: How to Enter Fastboot Mode on Moto G
Step 1 - Turn OFF your Moto G.
Step 2 - Press and hold the Volume Down button along with the Power Button for 4-7 seconds. Release them.
Step 3 - The phone will display the following screen. This is your Fastboot screen, you can now connect your phone to your PC and access it via the Fastboot tool.
Now, take your time at https://motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/standalone/bootloader/unlock-your-device-a and unlock your bootloader
Only get back here when your bootloader is unlocked
.
.
.
Ok, now that you've unlocked your XT1078, its time to Inject a Custom Recovery:
Download this TWRP .img file.
https://app.box.com/s/hsqphx3pfsp3f1h18t3220nzfklpzgty
Rename it to recovery.img
Noobie corner 3: Acces Fastboot through ADB - Once in Fastboot Mode (see Noobie corner 2) , conect your smartphone to your PC. On your ADB folder on your PC, press Shift + Mouse Right and select Open Command Prompt here. Now, just type your ADB commands.
When you unlocked your bootloader, you've learned how to use the ADB
Place the .img file in the same directory of the ADB files, get your XT1078/XT1072 into fastboot mode and within ADB, type
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
On the smartphone, with volume down go to recovery option and select it (with volume up)
reboot system directly from TWRP
Now, you have the TWRP recovery (once you get your smartphone into Fastboot > recovery (volume up to select)
Ok. Now to the latest step : Installing Super SU.
Download Chainfire's Super Su at his site. (remember to buy this guy a beer. We'd be nowhere without his active contribution)
http://download.chainfire.eu/695/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.45.zip
Place the .Zip file on your smartphone and install it via TWRP.
Reboot and you'll have XT1078 / XT1072 with root privileges!
Congrats! And don't forget to thank...
Thanks, does this work for xt1072 aswell? also are there any roms actually available for Moto G 2015 LTE yet? Can't seem to find any.

The key to the whole process is the twrp .img file, which by the way was the hardest to find. If the flash of the .img is accepted, then you got it. No problems in trying, if it's not suitable for your version, the initial chech at flashing will detect the alien Fw and will abort without flashing.
Good luck and remember to report your success here, so we can help others.
Thanks! Good job! Have a nice day!
Realized unlocking the bootloader and managed to install TWRP normally, but when I flash the SuperSU, usually works well, however, after the cell start, click on the SuperSu APP and says there is no installed binaries and what it takes to install manually . (I've done it when fleshei, tried again and also did not yield, I downloaded the link of the file you desponibilizou). Detail: I wiped cache / dalvik / data
I need to root, because i want install the Xposed
But, i want too a CM rom, original firmware is so bad

Hi mate, have you got a link to that thread/rocover as the one in the OP doesn't work with my xt0172? I can use the search function but I wan't to be sure its the same one you used rather than flashing random custom recoveries
Edit. The same recovery flashed sucessfully after a second attempt, no idea why it didn't work first time around, happy days. Confirm recovery and root working and sticks after reboot on XT0172

SP FLASH TOOL Tutorial to install TWRP / Custom Recovery in Lenovo K3 Note

UPDATE: Hi. This is just to notify everyone that I am not maintaining or replying to comments in this thread anymore.
K3 note was one of my most favorite phone of all time, and will always be, but it's way too old now. I am using and doing 'research' on other devices now.
So please pardon me for not replying to you. But you can always find help regarding issues on tons of other places!
:highfive:
​
Installing custom recovery on K3 Note using SP Flash Tool
(COMPLETE TUTORIAL)​
NOTE:
This post helps you if you need to:
1. Fix a bricked device
2. Install custom recovery to install custom rom later
3. Make your device bricked (if you do not follow this post correctly)
You will find the necessary files related to this post in the attachments
First, get your PC ready:
Download and Install "LenovoUsbDriver_v1.1.13.exe", then Restart pc.
Download and extract "SP_Flash_Tool" zip (I used v5.1820_Win, but you may try latest versions)
Link to download : https://spflashtools.com/category/windows
Open SP Flash Tool (Double click on flash_tool.exe from inside the SP Flash Tool folder)
Go to Options > Option... > Download > Tick "DA DL All with Checksum" > Close the options box
Close SP Flash Tool
Now, the flashing part:
Download and Extract "TWRP_v3.0.0-3_for_SP_Flash_Tool.zip" *
Open SP Flash Tool, and From "Download" Tab click on "Scatter-Loading"
Browse the TWRP v3.0.0-3 folder and select the "MT6752_Android_scatter.txt" file > Ok **
Click on "Download" icon
Completely turn off your phone (BUT DO NOT REMOVE BATTERY) and connect it to PC using usb cable.
Wait till the Process completes and a "Download ok" box will appear with a green tick. Disconnect the phone from cable.
Done!
Now press and hold VolumeUp+VolumeDown+PowerButton all three buttons at one untill you see the "TWRP" logo.
The phone will boot into custom recovery you just installed.
Check this screenshot for illustrated steps:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
* The provided folder has TWRP v3.0.0-3 recovery in it
To flash other custom recoveries (Like CWM, or other TWRP versions), follow this:
i. Rename your recovery image file to "recovery.img"
ii. Replace the "recovery.img" file inside the folder from TWRP_v3.0.0-3_for_SP_Flash_Tool.zip with your "recovery.img"
iii. Continue from Step 7
** You can also flash ROW/CUSTOM roms (which are made ready for SP FLASH TOOL) using this method. For that, Just select the scatter file inside the ROM folder (IN STEP 8)
*** REMEMBER If you have a MARSHMALLOW (Android OS 6.0) rom: Marshmallow roms need to be flashed with patched boot image for custom recoveries. Go to the index thread of k50 note for the patched boot images.
And by the way, there's a thanks button below if you find this post helpful! :highfive:

If I flash TWRP in this way, am I going to destroy ROM that is currently installed?
Since, I am not born with knowledge of flashing custom recoveries/ROMs, is anyone willing to answer?

Sorry for being late.
Thanks anyway! I took a risk and flashed it. Luckilly, ROM is untouched.
Sorry for beeing cynical.
I am new in this, trying to learn something.
Hi!! Yesterday I received my lenovo k3 note. I bought it from TinyDeal and i saw that the chinese rom is installed so I can't update my phone to the new version. Can someone please tell me how to flash the row rom for Greece?? And if anyone knows if the row rom is multilingual?? Thank you all for your time!
Need to clear up my mind...

You probably has a marshmallow rom. Marshmallow roms need to flash patched boot image for custom recoveries. Go to the index thread of k50 note for the patched boot images.

If you are rooted, you can do that. Without root this tutorial is the only way.
Only works for me when USB is plugged while holding volume up, else SP flashtool won't start and not responding.
I'm on ROW S327 at the moment. Will this method work for me? Thank you!

[GUIDE] How to flash the COS 13 update. Even if you get the release keys error

Alright.
I had this problem for a while and I figured out how to flash the update without the need to factory reset or change the update script of the update file.
Even if you get the user/release-keys error message. EXAMPLE:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
You have to be using the latest lollipop release before updating. That means you have to be on YOG7DAS2K1 before attempting.
This worked out for me. But it might not work for you. I do not believe it can destroy your phone and switch some satellites off, but still, not responsible if it did so.
Requirments:
You have to have TWRP now or you at least have ROOT and any flashing app like flashify.
Download COS 13 update file. here https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24459283995316311
Download the latest CyanogenMod Recovery https://download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=bacon
Download the cm-12.1-YOG7DAS2K1 full ROM [url]https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24369303960686198[/URL]
Guide:
Make sure the update cyanogen recovery option is checked in developer options.
Flash CyanogenMod Recovery downloaded before.
Reboot into it.
Use the update function in CyanogenMod Recovery and choose cm-12.1-YOG7DAS2K1 as the update file. It might take a while.
Now reboot to your phone. When booted and running, reboot to recovery.
Now you are running COS recovery. Update with the incremental.
That is it.
I hope this works out for you.
EXTRA: How to ROOT and have TWRP as a recovery:
Requirements:
A laptop.
Download TWRP and adb drivers on the laptop and the SuperSU and TWRP on your phone
Download Oneplus One TWRP Recovery [url]https://dl.twrp.me/bacon/twrp-3.0.2-0-bacon.img.html[/URL]
Get any adb divers. This one suffice [url]http://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/development/adb-fb-apx-driver-universal-naked-t2513339[/URL]
Download the latest SuperSu [url]https://download.chainfire.eu/921/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.65-20151226141550.zip[/URL]
Guide:
Reboot into bootloader: you can do this in many ways. A simple google search will show you how. Easiest way is to turn the phone off and hold the volume up and power long enough for the phone to boot into bootloader.
Connect your phone to your laptop
Run the adb: I assume you are using windows of course. First put the TWRP .img file in this folder. Hold shift and right click in the folder downloaded above. A 'Open command window here' option will be there. Click it and write in the window
Code:
fastboot boot twrp-3.0.2-0-bacon.img
. A hint: you can just write twrp and hit TAB, it will complete the filename. Or you can rename the downloaded file to just twrp.img
Check your phone, you will be running TWRP temporarily. You now have the option to ROOT only by flashing the SuperSU file downloaded on your phone. If you reboot now you will lose TWRP and get back to the official COS Recovery. If you want TWRP for good flash the TWRP file downloaded on your phone before.
I hope this is easy. It actually is. just follow it step by step.
If you could provide us the guide to root and come back to twrp I would be extremely happy

if you need a guide to root, this means you are not rooted, and if you are not rooted most probably you already have stock recovery, which means you can just install the OTA update without any issues.

As I stated before you have to be on COS 12.1 YOG7DAS2K1. This method should not format your phone or remove any data as there is no factory reset step.
As for the link they are all over the place now. I used the official one. I'll link it for your convenience.
can anyone please pull the stock recovery from COS 13, not 12. I kinda screwed up while updating and now stuck in bootloop.
Update: The issue is resolved. The issue was because of SuperSu 2.46. Installing the latest TWRP and SuperSu 2.66 fixed it. Marshmallow is now rooted!
Thank you very much! After going back to stock and still not receiving the update for more than a week (well at least it felt like a week, Lol) I decided to flash a full COS 13 zip floating around. Instantly liked the new ROM but it had root/symlink issues only to be resolved when flashing a custom kernel it seems. Not what I really wanted so then I stumbled onto your thread and this technique worked 100%! I was on DAS2K1 (flashed thru a custom recovery) already and had several failed attempts flashing just the incremental outright (thru stock recovery)., but by flashing DAS2K1 thru stock recovery first as you suggest then the incremental seems to do the trick.
I did it all the steps, but my phone doesn't not start. After optimizing aplications I have bootloop at "cyanogen modready".
L.E. I think the problem was one of old aplications. After a clean install everything works.
This is the best thing Oneplus one i ever experience.COS13 give my Oneplus one a new breathe of life .This update better than crap lolipop.No Bug for me until now,only google play service need to update twice in play store,its auto reboot itself twice and wholla,super speed UX.The best thing i ever have.I apply update from CM-12-0-YNG1TAS17L Build LRX22G using this method and it works flawlessly
I don't need to factory reset or wipe cache .
I flash full stock ROM cm-12.1-YOG7DAS2K1 and apply update through CyanogenMod Recovery only and nothing else.
Now my oneplus one is rooted and TWRP install using ADB and its fly.All rooted apps is working together with Adaway.
Thanks Cyanogen team for make this 2 years old flagship killer a beast .
Only thing not satisfied is gone signal and wifi status (connectivity indicator ).I need to swipe down to see my transfer data working (what a bummer ).
Thanks so much for this magical guide (y2kkingboy) Yours truly Oneplus one diehard fan.
I was already on cm-12.1-YOG7DAS2K1, however rooted. So even if I had been offered the OTA it would have failed.
Your guide got me updated, first time with no problems.
6.0.1 is such an improvement on 5.1.1, I tried a couple of other 6.0 roms, however this has by far been the most stable and bug free.
Cheers for the tutorial!

I had tried this before and it did not work for me. Kept getting an error saying "the signature file was not a complete file" and therefore it didn't flash. But it may have been editing error on my part. This method works just fine and no need to give up your data either.
Having tried many other ways, I got it done with this instruction.
Thank you!

Uncheck Auto reboot.
Load the respective file below into the AP slot and hit start.
After flashing and ODIN reports PASS immediately reboot to recovery by holding POWER + HOME + VOL DOWN.
As soon as the screen goes blank change to VOL UP whilst still holding POWER + HOME.
You should now see TWRP recovery.
NOTE: FAILURE TO FOLLOW THE STEPS ABOVE IMPLICITLY WILL RESULT IN STOCK RECOVERY REPLACING TWRP AT FIRST BOOT.
NOTE: ON ANDROID 5.1.1/6.0/7.0 DEVICES IT IS NECESSARY TO GO TO:
Settings -> Developer Options -> OEM unlocking
AND ENABLE OEM UNLOCK FIRST OR YOU MAY ENCOUNTER 'BLOCKED BY FRP LOCK' WHEN FLASHING.
DOWNLOAD:
twrp_3.1.1-1_sm-j327u_271117
To Root:
Flash the latest SuperSU release with TWRP:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/supersu/2014-09-02-supersu-v2-05-t2868133/
To disable forced encryption, dm-verity and mount internal storage:
(Note this MUST be flashed after SuperSU if you intend to root)
1. Boot to Twrp
2. Format Data partition using FORMAT DATA button under Wipe options.
(Note: This will wipe the internal storage)
3. Check DATA is mountable.
4. Install SuperSU (if root is required)

No worries. I had an idea this might be the case as I had the same issue on the J330F and had to fix the issue on that device also.
The 2 devices are fairly similar.
In the meantime an otg mouse should work.

Just getting back to you now. I think the bootloop is caused by TWRP because I haven't even attempted to flash SuperSU.
My process:
I move SuperSU and the no-verity file over to my internal storage before flashing TWRP in Odin. I flash TWRP. I reboot into recovery. Touch screen works but I can't mount internal storage to flash no-verity or SuperSU. I reboot and instead of being asked to reset it's just a boot loop.
Flashed the stock rom.

To prevent this TWRP will ask at first boot if you want to keep system 'Read only' or 'Allow modifications to system'. If you choose to keep 'Read only' you will have to flash TWRP at every boot to recovery.
If you choose to 'Allow' then SuperSU or the boot patch needs flashing below to disable dm-verity.

IMPORTANT! This device enforces dm-verity. ANY modifications or even mounting system will put the device into a bootloop. To prevent this TWRP will ask at first boot if you want to keep system 'Read only' or 'Allow modifications to system'. If you choose to keep 'Read only' you will have to flash TWRP at every boot to recovery.
If you choose to 'Allow' then SuperSU or the boot patch needs flashing below to disable dm-verity.
To Root:
Flash the latest magisk with TWRP:

This device forces encryption.
To disable forced encryption, mount internal storage(DATA) and disable dm-verity you must flash the boot patcher below:
(Note this MUST be flashed after SuperSU if you intend to root)
1. Boot to Twrp
2. Format Data partition using FORMAT DATA button under Wipe options.
(Note: This will wipe the internal storage)
3. Check DATA is mountable.
4. Install magisk (if root is required)
5. Install boot image patch below.
6. Reboot
Boot image patcher
no-verity-no-encrypt-5.1
DEVICE TREE: soon

Thanks bro for twrp
ARD3 doesn't support current root. Why? Only restart... Phone is not opening.
TWRP => all directory 0 mb. There is a problem.
Thanks for your hard work. The recovery works really fine with our device if instructions were followed carefully.
Now all we need is a custom kernel with selinux set to permissive. I appreciate any help.
