Lenovo A606 Bricked

Hello,
I have a new Lenovo A606, that came with a strange ROM (IMEI not recognized, some weird WIFI setup) from 2014. I was able to set it up and correct the problems (thanks to google), but I still had some language issues (the Lenovo Apps including dialer, contacts, sms, etc… were English only). I was able to root it fine, and no working problem.
I decided to install a clean stock ROM, ROW: the A606_USR_S036_1502271022_V3_MP_ROW that is more recent and fully supports multilanguage.
I took a PC with Windows XP, and installed the latest SP Flash Tool, following this tutorial: http://androidxda.com/flash-stock-rom-using-smart-phone-flash-tool
I was able to install android adb drivers and the MTK driver from the ROM image. The phone was showing in the devices, then was disappearing, then showing again… I had an error, but then I tried again with the option to update the firmware, and the Flash Tool reached the end and said it flashed succesfully.
Problem: after that, the phone was totally bricked. It would not start at all. When I plug it on the PC, it shows sporadically a device called "VENDOR 0E8D - communication" that disappears very quickly. I cannot flash it again. I just lost my brand new phone…
I tried with SP Flash Tool, and Flash SPMDT, with different ROMs, CN only, ROW, different versions… But nothing. It always says that Flash failed. Even when the phone is not plugged, I have an error with Flash SPMDT, with all ROMs, saying that (1)COM ports number is repetitive or invalid, or (2) Brom and preloader have the same comport number! and it asks me to modify them in INI file or scan again. Of course, scan fails, when I plug the phone pressing vol up + vol down (only way to make the phone recognized by the computer without a battery), the progress goes to 100% then either stays stuck there, or says it failed. SP Flash Tools gives this error: 'BROM ERROR s_ft_enable_dram_fail (4032)'
I tried several drivers, to clean drivers with usbdview, I tried several versions of SP Flash Tools… I don't know what to do anymore. I hope that Lenovo has a warranty and that they could flash it back to normal.
I don't know if it is a problem accessing the META mode on the phone, or bad roms… I tried on one computer with XP, and another with Windows 8.1, and the problem is the same.
ANY HELP would be appreciated, thank you!

Have you tried THIS .
Before using that program make sure: 1.The phone drivers are installed
2. ''USB Debugging'' is turned on
3.Allow ''Unknown sources'' in Settings->Security.
Hope this helps.

Lenovo A606 lock screen - Lenovo Launcher

Hi.
Yesterday i bought Lenovo A606. I have one question.
I can cnage my home screen wallpaper but cant change LOCK SCREEN WAllpaper. When i choose different phone theme it changes but thems are only two
How cah i change my LOCK SCREEN wallpaper ?
If can't be changed where can i download more themes for lenovo launcher ?
Thank you. (Sorry for mistakes, if any. )

There has to be a way/option to change the lock screen wallpaper....I just don't know how to reach that option for the A606.
I dont want to change the default lenovo launcher but themes wich are included for this app are boring and ugly in my opinion. If i cannot change the default themes lockscreen is there any site where i can download more themes for this launcher?
Unfortunately the ROW firmwares are limited to the built in themes.

I'm using Lenovo A606 after the last update skype ...

A606

From your logfile
[787100.353] (EE) Failed to load /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/i740_drv.so: /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/i740_drv.so: undefined symbol: I740_Sync
Corruption seems the correct assumption here; I'd boot using a rescue disc; then mount your actual system and reinstall all packages. After chrooting, that should be something like pacman -Sf `pacman -Qqet`

A606 Display Backlight

Theres good news and bad news..
bad news = you are going to have to send your computer back
good news = its gonna be covered under warrenty ( it should be atleast).
Call apple before you send it in just to make sure

Bricked Lenovo Yoga 3 Pro-1370 due to broken microsoft ecosystem / unrecoverable admin account

Hi. So now I am here. HELLO EVERYONE! All you friendly and curious troubleshooters. I am frustrated and lost. I will not give you the 14 step Microsoft issue. But I guarantee this will be one of the more bizarre or interesting problems you have read in a bit. so tl;dr - my yoga 3 is bricked because the user account switched the administrator to an unrecoverable & disused / non-used outlook.com email account b/c of the MS App store. Their tech has not helped, no recovery has worked at all. I just want to factory reset the hardware at this point, but the software "glitch" needs me to log in to my admin account to factory reset, which is something I can't do. Way too long of info story: a) on my lenovo tablet, I had my personal login to sign into my admin profile. I did not use a MS Outlook account at all. In Feb, I signed up w/ a "dummy" outlook.com account for the app store, but never DL anything, and didn't think to realize this account locked me into an ecosystem... I just thought it was a temp email to register, and didn't keep any details. The 1st time it removed my local user account profile from admin, and replaced it with the outlook.com account. I immediately switched it back, that time. b) 2 weeks ago, I wanted to DL The Economist app. We hadn't used any apps, & again it made me sign in to Microsoft. I signed into my account and DL the app. I believe it signed in with a remembered password, as I don't remember it. It could be one of 15. c) At this point, microsoft's account removed my personal local lenovo user account, and replaced it with the microsoft outlook.com sign in d) Now, when I try to log in to my tablet, it says "You can't sign into your PC right now. Go to account.live.com to fix the problem, or try the last password you used on this PC". No previous passwords work. This is probably because I tried to sign in a bunch of times under my personal local user account, before realizing it had switched the admin to the outlook.com account. e) I go to account.live.com, and it redirects to login.live.com. When I try to sign in with my outlook.com account, it says "You've tried to sign in too many times with an incorrect email address or password." f) At this point, a captcha comes up, and no matter how many times I solve it correctly, it won't let me sign in. I did get to a point where I see a different type of screen that says my account is locked. g) When I try any form of account recovery, and attempt to have an email or password sent to my secondary recovery email, those emails never arrive in my inbox. h) when I attempt to have a code sent to my phone, I never receive the code. i) the microsoft support number has a phone tree that leads me to a place that tells me to go online to get support. j) When I try to contact customer support, it leads me back to the login in page. So I made *another* MS account for support, and have spent 2 weeks getting copy pasta support about "try password reset", "try text code reset", "try account recovery". I never get the password reset to my recovery email, I never get the text, and the account recovery doesn't work because I never used the email, and don't have enough information like email subject lines, or folders, for them to know the account is mine.... even though it was a throwaway email to use for the ecosystem, and not to use for anything else. I am still 10 tech support messages in with their support team, and they still haven't realized the problem: I DO NOT CARE ABOUT RECOVERING MY OUTLOOK EMAIL, but I do if that's the only way to gain access to my hardware's admin account. I have tried everything, and it doesn't work. I do not care anymore. I just want to factory reset the **bleep** thing, but it needs my password for the admin account to do it. Ain't that the darndest thing? I mean.. think about it! Microsoft's broken ecosystem of account recovery means their software has intrinisically bricked my Yoga 3 and made it unusable. I can still use a sub-account, but it acts all wonky because it wants me to download apps using an outlook account and when I try to sign a new one in, it leads to broken links, etc. If Microsoft's ecosystem doesn't allow for account recovery in any way, how do I take control of my hardware again? I feel frustrated and alone. This was a HUGE purchase for us, and I never thought a software glitch or problem with the ecosystem would brick hardware in this manner. NB: I know I have to take some accountability for not remembering the password, or realizing the ecosystem being a bit rigid and fierce, especially when trying to find back end understanding or support in recovery.... I had no idea, and that's on me. I also know it's not "bricked" IE unusable, per se... but not being able to log in to the admin account, nor make changes, updates, or get into the app store... it's pretty brickish. Thanks for listening. Any help is appreciated.

Lenovo Tab2 A7-30F (US) bricked

While Lenovo calls it an A3000, apparently there are at least SOME difference between the US and non-US versions (at least as far as the firmware goes). While the hardware is practically identical to the international GC, it cannot use its firmware - somehow i managed to actually brick my tablet. Worse, I CANNOT get the original firmware (US-based, or based anywhere else) for this model, as it is apparently unique to the US - despite it being basically a GC minus calling. I'm right now trying to unbrick the tablet - but to do that, I need the US firmware/ROM (S000020_442_US), unless i can be certain that the ROW firmware will work in the US.

Helloooooo? I this thing on? It's been 4 days since I posed this question. Any chance of getting an official response?

Lenovo Vibe Z Bricked :(

Hi,
On Thursday last I wanted to re-rooting my smartphone, because previously I had rooted and from one moment to another was un-rooted (I had no idea why) Between trying and trying, no tool served me for root (even I tried and nothing GeniusRoot)
Then I realized that this was because it had locked bootloader (had a Lenovo Recovery) But could not install from zip, anything but Lenovo (TWRP, CWM, root, etc.)
Then I continued researching and gave a tutorial that was to unlock the bootloader (I tried a lot eh?) And it was a .bat, but needed to have the SuperSU. I do not know how I did it, I think it was by ADB, I managed to install the SuperSU (Root). Once the SuperSU, installed the .bat (I think it was called K910SS ... or similar.) When installing said "Great now I have unlocked the bootloader, install the TWRP now) and run the second file, I strip in pure lines of code errors) I thought, "**bleep** ?!"
In trying to turn out the logo "Lenovo" and then the screen turned off and put the Blue LED. I researched and realized it was in Download mode ... After many attempts I realized I had a brick in my hands every time I put out and relit entered the Download Mode only, no combination of buttons (Well, except for Power Button).
Researching gave corion and seergio's tutorials (From HTCMania), but so far none has helped me
I tried QPST MiFlash and Configuration in Windows XP 32-bit, and 200 seconds MiFlash is delayed in making process, but the smartphone remains the same. The QPST Download button did not appear. I even tried with this tutorial, it is simply left with the recovery and some partitions with files ready for you to enter ROM install any recovery or something, but not let me.
Why this was I? Well, I realized that the eMMC when trying to select my device Qualcomm MMC Storage USB Device, I get in Status as "not writable"
I tried to remove the permissions on Linux CHMOD 777, 666, and nothing ... Does anyone have any idea how to give permissions to the device and be able to repair my Smartphone? Actually I'm already losing hope.
Now the smartphone to connect to the PC, connects with a flashing red light time after flashing a few minutes will Download Mode with blue LED (I think it might be the battery)
I appreciate any help and idea
Spanish:
El día Jueves pasado quise volver a rootear mi smartphone, ya que con anterioridad lo había rooteado y de un momento a otro se me había des-rooteado (No tenía idea el por qué) Entre probando y probando, ninguna herramienta me servía para rootear (Incluso probé el GeniusRoot y nada)
Después me di cuenta de que esto se debía a que tenía el bootloader bloqueado (Tenía un Lenovo Recovery ) Pero no podía instalar por zip, nada que no fuese de Lenovo (TWRP, CWM, root, etc.)
Luego seguí investigando y dí con un Tutorial que era para desbloquear el bootloader (Probé muchos eh?) y que era un .bat, pero necesitaba que tuviera el SuperSU. No sé cómo lo hice, creo que fue por ADB, logré instalar el SuperSU (Root). Una vez con el SuperSU, instalé el .bat (Creo que se llamaba K910SS... o similar.) Al instalarlo dije: "Genial! Ya tengo el bootloader desbloqueado, ahora a instalar el TWRP) y al ejecutar el segundo archivo, me tira en las líneas de código puros errores) Pensé: "**bleep**?!"
Al tratar de encenderlo salía el logo de "Lenovo" y luego se apagaba la pantalla y ponía el Blue LED. Investigué y me di cuenta de que se encontraba en Modo Download... Después de muchos intentos me di cuenta de que tenía un ladrillo en mis manos Cada vez que lo apagaba y volvía a encender entraba al Modo Download solo, sin ninguna combinación de botones (Bueno, excepto el de encender).
Investigando dí con los tutoriales de corion y seergio, pero hasta el momento ninguno me ha servido
Probé con MiFlash y QPST Configuration en Windows XP 32 bit, y MiFlash se demora 200 segundos en hacer el proceso, pero el smartphone queda igual. El QPST no me aparece el botón Download. Incluso probé con este tutorial, que es simplemente dejar con el recovery y algunas particiones con los archivos listos para que pueda entrar a instalar alguna ROM por recovery o algo, pero tampoco me deja.
¿Por qué se debo esto? Pues, me di cuenta que en el eMMC al tratar de seleccionar mi dispositivo Qualcomm MMC Storage USB Device, me aparece en Status como: "not writable"
He probado a quitarle los permisos en Linux con CHMOD 777, 666, y nada... ¿Alguien tiene alguna idea de cómo darle permisos al dispositivo y así poder reparar mi smartphone? La verdad ya estoy perdiendo las esperanzas.
Ahora, el smartphone al conectarlo al PC, se conecta con una luz roja que parpadea un tiempo, después de que parpadea algunos minutos se va a Modo Download con el led azul (Pienso que quizás sea la batería)
Agradezco cualquier ayuda e idea

Lenovo S650 FORMAT with FlashTool (probably bricked)

Hey forks.
I did the "FORMAT" with FlashTool while I was trying to root my S650 and now it completely dead.
It can't turn on, event into recovery mode, nothing. The only thing is that while I take the battery off and connect phone via usb cable to PC, the red diod lights, that's all.
I'm afraid that phone is bricked and have no idea what to do.
Please help guys.
Best regards, Nism0.

Try to flash rom using flashtool to s116 or s215. http://lenovo-forums.ru/forum/227-%D0%BF%D1%80%D0%BE%D1%88%D0%B8%D0%B2%D0%BA%D0%B8-vibe-x-mini-s650/

Lenovo G 500s Insyde bios brick looking for right filename for biosdata to recovery

Hey,
as you can read in the subject, ich bricked my bios V2.02 when i tried to flash a whitelist-free-bios to my notebook Lenovo G 500s.
Before i tried to update bios, i made a backup of my current bios in .rom format.
I used Andy's tool to get the right filename, the tool gave out: "VILG1X64.F?"
Then I copied the biosfile to a usb stick with activity-led several times with dirrefent filenames and fileendings:
VILG1X64. fd/rom/bin/bi
VILG1X64. fd/rom/bin/bi
VILG1X64. fd/rom/bin/bi
VILG1X64. fd/rom/bin/bi
VILG1X64. fd/rom/bin/bi
VILG1X64. fd/rom/bin/bi
1X64. fd/rom/bin/bi
VILG. fd/rom/bin/bi
Anybody with the same notebook, who knows which filename i need? Which file-ending is the right?
Some Info:
I also tried to use the .rom file from lenovo's .exe file bios update from official download centre.
Thank you!

Hi, I have an x120e and when I get into the BIOS > Startup > Boot, I see the following list:
Boot Priority Order
1. ATA HDD0 Samsung SSD 830 Series (my main disk)
2. USB HDD SanDisk Cruzer Fit (a tiny usb drive that is always attached and holds assorted files)
3. USB CD
4. USB FDD
5. PCI LAN
The device can indeed boot from a USB stick. I think you will have to follow this order of events: first attach the USB you want to boot from, yet boot only from your main hard drive, to let the system recognize the attached USB drive and put it in the Boot Priority Order list, then shutdown, restart and get into BIOS. F1: to either to change the ordering in the list to put USB FDD or USB HDD SanDisk first) or F12 (I think): to choose a temp device to boot from. Or....... (another thought), the USB you want to boot from hasn't yet been made "bootable" (I think you may have to go into diskpart > etc to set it active) so isn't recognized in BIOS.
I've used a USB flash drive with my recovery partition on it to restore to factory state. That was also a Sandisk Cruzer USB. I've also booted directly into a WinPE sort of environment using another bootable USB made for the purpose of restoring from system images. Mine is an x120e; your x121e can't be much different.
Cheers!

Lenovo G40-70 Bricked by BIOS Update

Hi all,
Need help on my Lenovo G40-70 that I've just bought 6 months ago where I accidently bricked the laptop after BIOS update. It seems during the BIOS updating process it when well but after 2nd reboot there's some message on the screen that the BIOS failed to update factory setting and it freeze on the message for quiet sometimes. After a long wait I decided to long press Start button for hard reboot. Then the scary part comes in where it seems the laptop can't longer shows the Lenovo logo & cannot even boot to Windows, just black screen.
Hope anyone can help me on this and give some advice on what I'm going to do. I would like to tried myself first before ending up with warranty claim since I'm worried I've brick the warranty due to wrong BIOS update procedure....
Solved!
