Hi all gurus,
please forgive the noobiness but the task is quite urgent and actually, since I'm a new, noob user, I can't post in the dev section.
Well... my need was to install a fixed wpa_supplicant on a stock WW ROM in order to manage ad hoc wifi connections. In order to do so, I tried the Pure Root script (APK mode correctly up & running)
Did as follows:
- I did a complete backup of both boot.img and recovery.img from my stock Transformer using the "Backup current Boot.img and/or Recovery.img" option ; everything went fine... but under the directory /images/backup I can't see any file
- i tried to install a root WW using the first option of the script; I choose to install recovery too (CWM?). Everything fine; I rebooted the tablet but Root Explorer tells me I'm not root ... Am I missing something?
(tried then to install the modified wpa_supplicant via CWM... but again, installation done with success, reboot -> no ad-hoc connection management )
I decided then to revert back to the original Asus stock version (option 4: " Install Stock ww Boot.img and/or Recovery.img").
Everything goes fine and actually I thing now I'm running with the stock worldwide version... But there's a thing I don't understand: I tried to boot in recovery mode to verify that CWM is not present anymore: so pressing ON + volume down, this is what I see:
"Android ww_epad-user bootloader ( e) released by "WW_epad-8.4.4.11-20110711"
Checking for android ota recovery
Checking for RCK... Press key <VOL_UP> in 5 sec to enter RCK "
If I don't press VOL_UP I get the wiping data option: " press <VOL_UP> to execute or <VOL_DOWN> to cancel wiping data". It is not the one of CWM.
BUT if I press VOL_UP ... an Android robot with an exclamative marks appear.
So... what am I missing? What's the actual status of the device? My guess is that stock rom is ok but recovery don't. How can I restore completely the situation to the stock one (or also, previous backups)?
Thanks in advance mates, unfortunately I have to add support for ad-hoc connection in 24 hours (to bring my tablet with me on holiday, otherwise I have no way to connect to the net and the device is quite useless ).
Understanding how to flash to stock version both boot and recovery is quite a nice way to start modding from scratch, having the knowledge that no matter what a mess I can do, there's always a way to repair to original, asus stock version
Hello Lenovers...
Lately i've been through many user posts asking for the A6000 Plus "Stock Recovery"
Alrighty... I just managed to grab the file from my device and thought of sharing the same here with all fellow Lenovers...
Be warned that this is not a .zip flashable file... If you're rooted then, use "Flashify" from Playstore to flash this...

My mobile was ran into problem. Please help! Urgent
Recently I was tried to update mobile firmware (latest Kraft-A6000-S_S014_150730) by OTA update (via system settings->about phone->system update), that time my mobile was soft bricked. I downloaded firmware and installed then some time after got some options menu. And I attached that problem as picture.
Before that I rooted my mobile using KINGROOT apk v4.0 , there after I did unroot again using in the same app.
I thought unrooted mobile does not affect by system update (any firmware or OTA update by LENOVO). But unfortunately my mobile got problem.
I didn't took any backup before that. I don't know anything about CWM backup and all. I know only the root and unroot using KINGROOT app.
I need to recover my mobile back or tell me how to install LENOVO A6000 PLUS stock ROM or any other way is there tell me to solve the problem. Please guide me step by step process or any video link there it was little better to understand for me.
Please help me, it will be appreciated. Thanks.

Bro Did you try updating your device. And how did you root your device by using kingroot or superuser? I just rooted my lenovo a6000 plus by superuser using cwm. I just wanna know can i unroot my device by the native superuser full unroot option and install ota when lolipop is available without bricking my device?
I ve heard that people who rooted their lenovo a6000 plus with kingroot had problems to unroot and install ota updates is it the same case with superuser?
Same Here!!

Stock recovery for your phone is on the first page of this thread. Download the file, rename it to recovery.img and then flash it using fastboot.
Will this work for a6000 as well ??
phone soft bricked?? plz help
I think my lenovo a6000 plus has been softbricked as it doesn't get pass the logo screen. also recovery mode is not opening ( tried every combination). Help me with this. This phone has really checked up my nerves. the reason for flashing this phone as it had a problem of automatically downloading apps without consent, and video apps popping out in the middle of night(time service, monkey test apps), so the only best solution i found was to flash it( tried every other possibility- factory reset, password change...etc everything). Now it has died on me, can't get pass the logo screen. Also connecting the phone to pc gives me multiple drive partitions. Please help.
Try to flash any custom rom..but first flash custom recovery using minimal and fastboot

If it is due to kernal version is there any possible way to install an old stable kernal? Is it possible to install custom ROM?please give me a solution
Your bootloader is locked. No possibility of flashing TWRP or any other recovery, kernel or ROM other than what's already on your phone...
The only thing you can do is root which you have already done. Next step is debloat and learn to live with your phone
Here's another rooting guide for SM-J530F/DS (Dual Sim) stock ROM. Even with Lineage OS my hardware model (ordered March 2018, EU SIM card only) tends to mute the main speaker after rooting. This rooting method works for me and is based on the work of others, especially ananjaser1211 and Abdullah_a86.
Make a backup of everything and make sure that the backup is usable. You are responsible if following this description and flashing bricks your phone. It did work for me which does not mean that it also works for you.
Enable Developer options. (Settings, About phone, Software information, tap a few times on Build number)
OEM unlock the phone. (Settings, Developer options, OEM UNLOCK: enable - otherwise you will bootloop)
Reboot into download mode.
Flash J530F_TWRP_3.2.1.0.tar (in AP) with Odin.
Now TWRP is installed and you should be able to use your phone as usual or to boot into TWRP recovery.
Rooting will erase everything, verify your backup again unless this is a new phone.
Reset the phone. (Open Settings, About Phone, (Looking for something else?) RESET, Factory data reset, Reset, DELETE ALL)
Reboot into recovery, a cleanup script will run and reboot after a few seconds.
Reboot into recovery again, install SuperSu and reboot (wipe nothing).
Starting takes a little time, after running the initial setup SuperSU is installed and the speaker works as expected.
I started here a few times after no-sound, no-root and/or bootloop experiences with LineageOS, CF-Autoroot and Magisk. If you upgrade to this firmware version you can no longer downgrade to a previous firmware version. Follow this only if you break something, want to un-root, update your firmware and/or start from scratch:
Force a reboot if necessary and then boot into download mode. All data on the phone will be lost.
Flash the J530FDBT2ARB3 firmware with Odin (AP*, BL*, CP* and CSC*. Do not use HOME_CSC*).
Now you have again a phone with stock firmware without root.

Hints:
Power+Home+VolumeUp = Recovery
Power+Home+VolumeDown = Download Mode
Power+VolumeUp+VolumeDown = Force Reboot

I think this might fix you booting into download mode problem try this post. Read "how to fix" near the bottom. Please Thank us if it does. This same thing happened to me and I wish I stumbled across this earlier because I figured this out on my own by just messing around going from recovery to download mode and it eventually fixed itself.
Urgent help needed as I'm leaving the country at the end of the week o any help is appreciated!
Just successfully rooted my device:
Black, Unlocked, PRA-LX1, UK, Dual SIM
After doing so successfully, I attempted to flash LineageOS from the following link:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/p8lite/p8-lite-2017-development/rom-lineageos-15-1-hi6250-devices-t3811583
Although when I completed Step 6 on the Installation guide and rebooted the phone, I started seeing the message:
------------------
ERROR MODE
Attention!
Please update system again
(Green Android picture)
Error!
Func NO : 11 (recovery image)
Error NO : 2 (load failed!)
------------------
Despite this, I didn't receive a box with my phone due to being second hand, and I didn't see the model number on the receipt as it was from a reselling store. I didn't remember to note down the specific model number
It'd be extremely helpful if someone could possibly help just from the device description above as I'm not sure if it's safe for me to just attempt to flash every stock rom for every other LX1 device out there.
---------------------------------------------------------------
Update:
To restore this, I connected via fastboot with a working USB & flashed an original stock recovery in the video found here
(Just in case their download link ever goes down, I have uploaded the same copy to my MEGA, found here)
The recovery installed fine when using the command
fastboot flash recovery oeminfo.img
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Whenever trying to flash any other recovery such as twrp before this fastboot stuck on a loading icon.
The stock recovery seems to be downloading the original firmware, too.
PRA-LX1C432B202 is presumably the model.
Both the bootloader and FRA were unlocked when everything else was inaccessible.
Looks like the custom ROM's recovery that you've flashed is not compatible with PRA-LX1. Try to flash stock recovery. If not working, then flash stock firmware.
Thanks @Botar230!
I didn't see your comment until just now after deciding to edit this post since I've gotten a step closer to restoring my device.
Your solution was the method I used although I didn't know my phone model, so I found a random solution which just worked for my device, and the eRecovery seems to be downloading the stock firmware anyways. Thanks again
Before flashing this lineage os you should update to EMUI8 to get treble support, i suppose you was running EMUI5, hence the error mode.
