Kitkat-lolipop firmware base switcher for a6000

We all like to flash new custom roms in our Lenovo A6000.
Some time new custom rom release on Lolipop base which is very attractive and we might wanna check it out.
Unfortunately the new custom rom might be buggy and we may be forced to revert back to kitkat or whatever os you were before.
Analysing the present custom os' available for lenovo a6000, many rom authors says that the phone should be currently running on kitkat/lolipop before instaling that particular OS.
I found a work around to avoid flashing of 1 GB stock rom (which is time consuming) to get into kitkat/lolipop build. You just need to flash a very small sized zip file which contain the core system files that are essential .​Steps
From Kitkat to Lolipop
Download Kitkat named file attached below
Copy it to your sdcard
Boot into recovery
Flash the copied file
flash whatever lolipop custom rom you like
Voila all done and reboot
[*]From Lolipop to Kitkat
Download Lolipop named file attached below
Copy it to your sdcard

Thank You Rahul S Nair for Your Efforts and Hard Work,
Unfortunately It's not working for Me on A6000,
i was in CM 11 4.4.4 (Unofficial),
I just flashed your Kitkat based system by you.zip via TWRP and it's succesfully installed,
Then i flashed Xenon HD from ( http://www.techolaty.com/34356/lenovo-a6000-plus-xenon-hd-custom-rom-32-bit.html ) which is based on Lollipop 5.1, > it showed installation completed.
and i rebooted my device.
But Stucked on Lenovo Logo.
Waited for more than 5 - 6 Minutes, Done 3-4 Times, But no more Changes_Any remedy?
But after this i can install Kitkat based ROM, installed CM 11 again without any changes,

You need to flash lolipop base system not kitkat.

Great @rahulsnair You saved time of installing stock kk and lp again and again if we want to change OS(lp and kk).Many users are not aware of this tool.It helped a lot .It works flawlessly.No brick found.
Thanks

Request for Stock Rooted ROM

hello developers ,
is it possible to release a stock rom which is rooted and can be flashed just like any custom rom using twrp or clockwork mod..
so if anyone want to isntall stock rom , then we dont have to go back and flash stock oppo recovery ---> then install stock rom ---> and then root it again..
instead just by flashing the stockrom with root .zip file , using twrp or clockworkmod we can get bacl stock os , just like flashing cyanogen mod rom or mokee rom or aicp rom that we already have.. for my samsung/lg devices there are stock roms which are rooted (with extra features like debloat and deodexed )deodex is difficult so not needed..but atleast we can have a stock rooted rom..

The easy way would be to make factory reset, root the device, install custom recovery, backup the device. Then copy the backup to PC or the external sdcard.

Need Clockworkmod Recovery of Honor 6 (H60-L04) for Marshmallow 6.0 EMUI 4.0..(B831)

Hello Guys...
My phone model is Honor 6 H60-L04 & I'm currently running on Marshmallow 6.0 EMUI 4.0 (B831) Rom. with ROOT and TWRP 2.8.7.0 installed. Bootloader unlocked.
I have backed up my kitkat rom (B115) with clockworkmod recovery . and updated to marshmallow.
so now I want my phone revert back from marshmallow to kitkat. I'm am stuck at MM now.
for that I have tried this things but nothing work
1) downloaded stock ROM from official site & flashed via Stock Recovery. (with local update method & three button method.... even with Internal Storage and micro SD card ) but stucked at 36 % . Also tried Downgrade Pack.
2) tried to flash stock recovery.img and system.img files (extracted by Huawei update extractor) via fastboot... but system partition is I think on read-only mode.so not working.
3)bcoz I have CWM backup of kitkat ROM and currently running on TWRP.... tried to search for converting CWM backup to TWRP backup. but not possible
4) I've searched for CWM recovery for MM in this VirusPlus thread...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=57270646&postcount=4
but there is not CWM for MM EMUI 4.0
so If someone have one of the following thing, plz share it to me
1. clockworkmod recovery for marshmallow for my model.
2. TWRP backup of stock kitkat rom would work for me.
Thanks in advance....

I think in the TWRP there is a TWRP version that works with EMUI 4. It's not TWRP 3, but it should work anyway.

I want clockworkmod for EMUI 4.0 to restore my backup of kitkat rom which I previously backed up with clockworkmod recovery.
I can't restore my CWM kitkat rom backup by TWRP recovery.
Alternative idea is
--someone share kitkat stock rom backup folder which is backed up by TWRP recovery. so with use of that I can revert back from marshmallow to kitkat.

Revert back to Lollipop build and try flashing stock KitKat ROM again via fastboot. Use the Unbrick option in Multitool.

there is now way to do that...you can't restore a backup of your KitKat rom from MM you have to downgrade first...if you restore the backup your phone will break...
first of all...you have to download the right downgrade package from EMUI 4.0 TO EMUI 3.1 and then install any build from lollipop... and then you have to install the right downgrade package from emui 3.1 to 3.0 and then install emui 3.0 and then restore the backup
or flash b115 via fastboot after doing all the above mentioned one by one

Thanks for point out the chance of brick phone by restoring kitkat CWM backup on Marshmallow rom. u saved me from brick.
I thought that I can change between kitkat,Lollipop, Marshmallow Roms from one to another by TWRP or CWM recovery. lol
As you mentioned, I've tried to flash Downgrade pack via stock recovery but its says "Software update failed" ( at 5% or 36%). I have tried local update method, all three button method and dial-pad method. Also put package with Internal storage and Micro sdcard. Tried with B804,B822 and B831. but no luck
I know that for downgrade package I have to be on fully stock rom .so I unrooted it. then try to flash but failed.
then I flashed system.img and cust.img (which is extracted by huawei update extractor) via fastboot on pc. On cmd it was successfully flashed. but when I saw system files with Root Explorer it didn't change. (means system files was still old which has su bianry ). so I think my system partition is read-only mode by default.
I can only mount it R/W in TWRP.
Any idea why Downgrade package failed in stock recovery ? (at 5% or 36%)

I previously tried to manually flash system.img partition via fastboot on pc.
on cmd it was successfully flashed. but on file manager on phone I saw no change in system files.
so when I try to flash UPDATE.APP in stock recovery it failed on 5% or 36% .
I think my system partition is on read-only mode by default. I can change it to R/W only in TWRP recovery.
Thanks bro . I will try now that Unbrick option in Virus plus tool. can I flash direct kitkat rom without going to lollipop ?

can any one upload H60-L04 any stock marshmallow firmware TWRP backup. I did not backup before flashing kangvip and I am not able to install update.app even after installing system, boot, cust and recovery of B831

Yes it fails. Maybe due to some more modifications to other partitions.
