I'm slightly worried with Lenovo...last time I tried to upgrade rom from rooted stock Kitkat to stock lollypop, my phone got bricked.
I've never faced such silly issues with my earlier phones i.e. Samsung Galaxy 3 , Galaxy Nexus, Xolo etc.
I need a step by step process so that I can successfully go back to to stock and then take the phone to service center as there is some issue with Vibration

You post at the end of the year. People got their holliday
Ok, I'll try to help you.
Because you're using XOPLAX (LP), custom recovery (TWRP), and Lenovo A6000 Plus. Right?
I suggest you to flash stock LP.
The Steps:
Download stock LP ROM from HERE. (Latest S030). Save it to PC first.
Open your downloaded file (A6000-s_S030_151030_WCAF.zip) using extractor app, eg WinRAR, WinZIP, etc.
Extract file System.zip (The biggest file in A6000-s_S030_151030_WCAF.zip).
Open System.zip using extractor app.
Go To META-INF\com\google\android folder.
Replace update-script file with new update-script file (Link Below, Extract first). Save your System.zip
(Optional) Double check the update-script file. Make sure it has been replaced.
Save it (System.zip) to your external card.
Enter to custom recovery (TWRP).
Flash System.zip
FINISH
I hope this help your problem.

Then flash a stock recovery of kk or LP.
Then flash stock rom of either kk or lp frm recovery by making a factory reset.
If I were in your situation i would do the following.
1. Flash stock LP recovery.
2. Go to recovery.
3. Make a factory reset.
4. Flash stock lollipop rom.
DONE.

I am not able to understand anything guys.

Unable to update phone

I recently purchased the Zuk Z1 from Amazon. After I started the device there was a message that I could update my phone. After I clicked it, it said 'Update is installing' but after a short time the device turned itself off and started again in Recovery-Mode. There it said something in Chinese which I can only confirm. After that I can choose a language and then there are 4 Options:
Reboot
Install update package
Swipe data
Shut down
If I choose Install update package there is clue and if I confirm it, it says 'Install failure'
After a restart there is still that update available but if I do it again, nothing changes.
Does anyone have the same problem and could help me?
Note: My phone is not encrypted and Hard-Reset doesn't work either.

Hello, I had bought from Amazon and had the same problems with the updates. have found preinstalled supersu and then installed with flashify TWRP. then simply flashed a other rom

Your rom is ZUI ?

My rom is cyanogenOS and I have exactly the same problem. I bought my zuk z1 via Linio and i suspect that I have the chinese version with cyanogenOS installed afterwards, but I don't know because I received the update.
I hope someone has the solution for this trouble.

If the phone has been rooted via an app like KingRoot, or has had SuperSU installed on it, then the partitions are changed. It's possible that your vendor may have messed with your phone before you purchased it. When this happens, COS recovery won't be able to install new updates.
As far as I know, the only solution is a clean flash of COS. Search for PaulOBrien's "Convert Z1 from ZukUI to Cyanogen OS" forum post on MoDaCo, download the COS zip file, and flash that in recovery (you'll lose all your data, be warned. Also, if you are using a custom recovery, you'll need to revert back to the COS recovery .img in that post before flashing the COS zip).
You should be able to install COS updates after doing so. Keep in mind you'll need to install about 8-10 of them after the initial flash to get up the most recent version of Z1 COS.
Good luck!

P8Lite stuck on huawei logo - had access to TWRP

Hello, it is my first post on this forum and it of course has to be problem. I am not expert in mobile phone hacking/flashing and this issue is too big for me to handle.
So like 6 hours ago i had working p8lite L21 with official android 6.0 and locked bootloader. I really wanted install costum rom due to performance issue, so i downgrade it back to 5.0 lolipop, than I root it with kingroot and successful extract key and unlock it using this tutorial: https://forum.xda-developers.com/newthread.php?do=newthread&f=4627
Than I flash recovery and install TWRP 3.0.2-0 and it all just worked. I was so happy that i manage to pull this off and I forgot that now i have EMUI 3.1 (ALE-L21C432B170) and i flashed phone with this:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/p8lite/development/rom-lineageos-14-1-p8-lite-t3824247
Of course it bricked because I missed that part with special version of TWRP. After that i tried to install something older just to get phone to work again:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/p8lite/development/rom-cyanogenmod-13-0-ale-l21-t3708835
And surprise, surprise, it did not work either and now I am stuck with huawei boot logo.
I did some research how to fix this issue, but i found so many different problems and solutions, I thought that at this point I really should ask for help because I just have no idea what i am doing now At this stage, can i just flash some costum rom (idc what exactly, just wanna to be lightweight) or i have to somehow restore original firmware? And if so how to do it? As i mentioned, i had access to TWRP.
Thanks a lot for your help in advance.

can someone help me with unbricking this phone? ?
@edit ok nevermind, i thought that this phone is cheap anyways so why not risk and just flashed boot/recovery/system from stock rom with fastboot. I did it and it works again, i needed just this simple hint to do it but i guess p8lite forum is dead.

I believe I can help you... Check the First Comment of that post... you'll see two additional firmwares... Only those firmwares have EMUI 4.1... b896 is for dual sim and b895 is for single sim... use any of those as per your requirements... after that download the LineageOS firmware and then proceed as per the Thread's recommended way... Also, before installing LineageOS, make sure you don't have any lockscreen lock...
feel free to ask if you have any more questions...
PS: i may reply bit late... maybe an hour, 5 hours or even days... but will try to check frequently..

Do you mean Vol +, Vol - and Power Button by powerbutton +- ? That's one way of flashing it, if you get error by that method, try it once again. If it doesn't work at all, then yes extract the update.app and go for the hard way...

Yea, i mean that i holding all three buttons (power vol+ vol-) and than it just says that installation failed. To flash it with fastboot i need to just flash recovery/boot/system or more files? I am asking because currently i have android 5 and this firmware is android 7 and I am just not sure if i can just simply flash those files and it will works.

Which one are you trying to flash??? b896?? or simply LineageOS??
If it's b896, then I did read that it can only be flashed on ALE-L21C02xxx, but i am unsure about it... I did installed LineageOS and Resurrection Remix back in the days but I don't think I ever used C02 ROM for B896...
Also if you have the latest TWRP, you can simply flash with it... Try it...

I can't install the rom with miflash and install twrp. My computer has been suspended

Before this incident I used a stable version 10.3.14 china rom. I have installed a mod file fde.ai. After flash fde. my device has been stopped at the redmi logo and cannot be restarted. OK.
I tried using miflash to reinstall the rom but every attempt failed. When I used miflash to install it, despite flashing done, I still couldn't get rid of the redmi logo to get into the device. also tried reinstalling twrp but also stopped at twrp's screen and did not access the menu of twrp.
I hope someone can help me solve this problem. I thank you very much and I feel very desperate

This phone is ARB protected and you must flash the same rom release date to overpass ARB protection.

ok I can confirm that this works fine but now I can't flash magisk, not the latest stable (with the fix) or the canary version,anyone can help?

My problem is after flashing the OZIP it only boots into recovery (also when choosing reboot system).
I haven't wiped anything.
