Always "Update failed"
I've tried all the different UPDATE.APP versions. And every one of them starts to unpack, and then, just as it's about to start installing,
I get a yellow warning triangle and an "Update failed" message.

I'd like to root the current 2.3.6 or upgrade to ICS or something, but everything just fails
The phone is totally stock from manufacturer, I haven't flashed or done anything.

When Android boots up, it's highly recommended to set your CSC via the dialer *#272*_your_imei_# (to see IMEI type *#06# in dialer) -> (it will erase all your data on the phone, but not the SD card)
FAQ in next post

Frequently Asked Questions
F.A.Q.
Q: Flashing any firmware to my phone will erase the network lock?
A: NO. The network (or SIM) lock will still remain active. By flashing any firmware you can't deactivate the lock. It's stored elsewhere.
Q: Flashing an operator specific firmware will restrict my open phone to that operator's network?
A: NO. Your phone will still remain open for any SIM. Operator specific builds usually contain "only" bloatwares, wallpapers and/or browser settings, etc...
Q: Is it possible to update the PDA or MODEM only
A: Yes, You can update any one component independently if you have a good reason for, but remember: recommended to have consistent components
Q: Where is the bootloader tar and pit file?
A: those are not used for a Kies like update. You can find totoro*.pit and bootloader in other S5360 firmware bundles, and use if you really need it, but not necessarily needed for flashing
Q: Do I need to tick repartition?
A: NO! Leave all check-boxes as default!
Q: Really??? Do not tick repartition?
A: REALLY, I told You! Leave it unticked!!! ...And leave bootloader empty as well! COPY THAT?!?!?!
Q: Will Odin increase my custom bin counter flashing these packs?
A: No. Custom bin counter increased in case, when you flash non-stock firmware. Bundles provided here are all stock files.
Q: Wipe vs Non wipe packs?
A: Wipe pack have an empty userdata partition included, that way flashing a wipe pack will erase your user data.
Usually wipe packs have less issues after flashing.

This is a good budget device when compared to other devices from lead manufacturers like Samsung, Sony, LG or Huawei.
While searching on the internet I did find some Root & CWM installation methods.
I will be updating the relevant posts as and when needed.
You can look in the list below for what you want to do with your device.
ATTENTION!!! READ THIS BEFORE DOING ANYTHING
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Friend, there are two versions of this device in the market:
1. A706 (Chinese model)
2. A706_ROW (International Model)
The ROMs in this thread are only for the A706ROW model of this phone unless otherwise stated.
If you have the chinese model or another model A760 (which is a different model) then the ROMs in this thread are not for you.
Model A706 and A760 are two different models with almost same specifications. This DOES NOT mean that the ROMs of A706ROW are compatible with A760.
Please DO NOT confuse Lenovo A706 with Lenovo A760 as these are two different devices!!! Flash or experiment at your own risk!!!!
If you share a ROM link for any of the above devices, then please mention clearly the device for which the ROM can be used.
What to do with your Device ?
-------------------------------------------
DISCLAIMER:
---------------------
Rooting your device VOIDS your warranty. Remember if you are doing this, it is at your own sole responsibility
and I cannot be held responsible for any damage to your device, data loss, or any personal injury as a result of your actions.
And, If you still feel it is worth the effort, proceed with caution!
FOR NOOBS
--------------------
Read the instructions (click on SHOW to read) before attempting anything from the list below!
First you need to have the Android SDK installed on your computer. Or atleast you need to have the adb & fastboot files available on your computer.
Here's a good post that tells you how to setup ADB and fastboot.
Here's a post that has a list of adb/shell commands for noobs.
Ok, once you are done with the setup of ADB & fastboot on your computer, then you can proceed with the below instructions.
--------------------
IMPORTANT NOTE BEFORE FLASHING:
-------------------------------------------------------------
Recently, I have noticed that many people after buying the phone are flashing any firmware to their phones and most of the time without checking the phone versions and the OS versions. In the stock firmware post, I had mentioned that people having the Chinese version of the phone should NOT flash the ROW (international) firmware otherwise it would mess up their phone and network etc.
SOLUTION FOR SIM ERROR & DOWNGRADING TO CHINESE ROM
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now, some of the people have already done such a mistake and for those people (who are having SIM or network problems and want to go back to chinese ROM, I am sticking this post by danyno1 to the OP:

soloution for #2 problem:
Ok trying again to put my chinese device in ROW rom with sim signal, and found a solution:
1:Flash via droidboot a chinese stock firmware I used the 130325
2:Rooted device with vroot and installed CWM Recovery via ADB
3:In the procedure to install custom rom Qneon one of the steps is to flash boot.img via fastboot... well I just didn´t do this step and flashed directly Qneon_1.7.1.zip via CWM
4: Did data/factory reset, cache reset and dalvik cache reset
5:Reboot system
An Ready! Finally got my chinese device in spanish and sim signal.

CWM Installation Instructions:
-------------------------------------------
Make sure you have all the drivers for your phone installed on your computer. Download for A706 from here. Some other Qualcomm drivers (not sure if required)
Make sure you have USB Debugging enabled, Install from Unknown Sources is enabled and device is detected in ADB run this command:
Code:
adb devices
Download the CWM Recovery for A706 from here.
Unzip the downloaded file to get a "recovery.img" recovery image file.
Press SHIFT key + Right mouse click in the folder where the file is located and select Open Command from Here.
Now, in the command prompt do the following:
a. Reboot into Bootloader mode. Use command:
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
b. Device will reboot and display Lenovo logo. (check if device is in bootloader mode by running command:
Code:
fastboot devices
. If you see a device connected then you have successfully rebooted into fastboot mode.
c. Now, run this command:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
(This will flash the CWM recovery image to the device).
d. Once successful, reboot the device using this command:
Code:
fastboot reboot
. Or, you can keep the power+vol up+ vol down buttons pressed to restart.​
If everything has gone well, this should get CWM installed on your device. Your device is still *not rooted*. Once you have installed CWM, please proceed to the ROOT instructions post to *root* your device.

DISCLAIMER: Rooting your device VOIDS your warranty. Proceed with caution!!!
1. CWM ROOT METHOD
-------------------------------------
Ok, so you have successfully installed CWM and need root.
1. Just download this Root for A706 ( CWM flashable zip file)
2. Reboot phone to CWM Recovery (use command: adb reboot recovery)
3. Flash the zip and then restart into OS.
4. Now, you should get the Super user app in the list.
2. VROOT (ONE-CLICK ROOTING) METHOD
------------------------------------------------------------------
For noobs AND people who either don't want to install CWM or are unsure of it's usage and only want root, can use this guide for VROOT one-click rooting method. The guide has been translated and posted on XDA by zhuhang. The original vroot post/method (in chinese) exists on this site.
CREDITS:

Same as in the CWM post above.
Thanks to zhuhang for posting the VROOT guide in english (translated from chinese).

DISCLAIMER: Follow these instructions at your OWN risk & responsibility. They are provided AS-IS without any liability.
IMPORTANT NOTE BEFORE FLASHING:
-------------------------------------------------------------
Recently, I have noticed that many people after buying the phone are flashing any firmware to their phones and most of the time without checking the phone versions and the OS versions. In the stock firmware post, I had mentioned that people having the Chinese version of the phone should NOT flash the ROW (international) firmware otherwise it would mess up their phone and network etc.
Solution to the problem is now in the OP. Please follow it if you have SIM error or network issue.

INSTRUCTIONS
-----------------------
A memory card is required.
Boot into Android normally.
Connect your phone to your PC/Laptop with a USB cable and when asked (or in USB connection settings), please select USB Mass storage mode to mount SD card.
On the root of the memory card, create a folder called "sdfuse".
Unzip the downloaded firmware, you will get a QSB file.
Copy the QSB file to the sdfuse folder that we created earlier on the root of SD card.
Note: Please make sure that your phone has atleast 60% power before attempting or beginning upgrade. Or keep charger connected during the process.
SD card upgrade process:
Long press VOL UP + POWER_KEY to enter the droidboot,
A menu will appear. Select the fourth option, SDUPDATE.
At the bottom of the screen, you can see the progress and status of the update
When you see the message "SDCARD UPDATE SUCCESS!!!", this means you successfully completed the upgrade process
Now, reboot your device and hopefully it should be updated.
That's it! If you guys have found any more firmware download links (even for different regions, build etc.) just share them with me along with details and I will add them to the list in this post.

scuderialoki, unfortunate that you got stuck. worked for me without any issues. i upped the same file that i used on mediafire. can you re-download the file and then check if the file is ok by extracting the zip using winrar or winzip? if it is ok then try flashing it again.

guliboy123, i will be putting the link and some instructions on the stock rom post soon. bear with me as i have to check the instructions from the russian/chinese sites and then put it up here. in the meantime, i suggest you take a backup of your current ROM (which is stock) using CWM and then try out the QNeon-Modern ROM. remember u need to flash that ROM using CWM.

thanks

gr8techie thanks for the reply. i really appreciate it. just downloaded the flashable cwm however it's still the same bro. lemme tell you something though. i rooted the devices before using framaroot and everything is ok but i had to do a factory reset through the settings app in A706. i still see the superuser app in the system apps and i cant uninstall it. when i open the superuser app in the drawer it's giving me an error that the su binary is not installed and su cant install it.

ok, please tell me if you have CWM installed on your device? I believe it is not installed. if this is the case, then you need to flash CWM and then try installing the zip again.
if it is installed then, i believe the super su from previous rooting maybe causing the problem. check on Playstore for a method to unroot your device. or google it. then you need to root again. hope this solves your problem.

thanks
Hi bro thanks for the reply i attached a screenshot of my root validation. I used an app to identify that. And by the way my recovery is installed. I the super su app is killing it

New page for our devices :good:
I had rooted my Lenovo A706 before You made this page You are faster than me , bro :laugh::laugh:
Hope our A706 will have more ROM, Init , Kernel that make it better

May be your ISP has blocked mega.nz. Is anyone else facing this issue ? I will have to upload it to other filesharing site in that case.

Thanks for sharing, I can't download either (Europe).

Thanks, I confirm that is impossible to download the file neither from the browser or from the mega plugin. I'm connencting from Europe.
This can be installed on the moto x play eu version or I need to flash the original India Firmware first? I've an non-rooted moto x play.

I have the same question

It could be. The Filename looks good. But with no Mirror it would be hard to test

Can't download even from mega app

FAQs :
01. Why am i releasing these after 2 months of Soak Test ?
Well, first few releases were very buggy, unstable and unusable. I decided to wait until Motorola (Lenovo) fixes them. Now that major issues have been fixed, i am releasing the files so that everyone can start using Android 7.1.1 and before the handset reaches is EOL. Motorola (Lenovo) are very slow to fix the issues and i dont expect the Soak to be completed soon. So why to suffer for their inefficiency ? Now it can be used as daily driver.
02. What are the known issues pending to be fixed ?
Few prominent users reported issues to be fixed are - Random shutdown (minor users facing it), high battery consumption (everyone), network issues (few users facing it, VoLTE issue has been fixed), scaling of graphics on lock screen (minor users facing it), vibration on receipt of notifications during call (everyone, actually Motorola (Lenovo) terms it feature instead of bug though Google has fixed in AOSP).
03. Will i get Official Download and Updates ?
This is an Official Update from an Unofficial Source. Why will you receive the same update twice No modifications have been done to these files. You will get any future OTAs Motorola (Lenovo) releases.
Steps To Update To Android 7.1.1
Save the downloaded files to Root of SD Card and follow instructions :
Method 01
Just Save the downloaded file to Root of SD Card [External Memory Card and not Internal Memory] and go to Settings --> About Phone --> System Updates. Update will be auto recognized and user will be prompted to apply update. In case update is not recognized and do not get any update prompt, then try Method 02.
Method 02 :
With the phone powered off, press and hold the Volume Down button and the Power button at the same time until the device turns on.
Press the Volume Down button to highlight "Recovery mode"
Press the Power button to restart into Recovery mode.
You'll see an image of an Android robot with a red exclamation mark.
While holding down the Power button, press the Volume Up button.
Phone will auto reboot to Recovery Mode.
Using Volume Down Button highlight Apply update from SD Card and press Power Button.
From the contents of SD Card Listed, using Volume Up / Down button select downloaded .zip files in order (01, 02) and press Power Button to apply update.
Updatation Process will start. It will take about 30 Mins to complete updatation.
Caution : You have to apply updates one after another in serial order else update will not be applied. At Worst, you may end up with bricked handset.

any bugs? and what about battery backup????
can i root it?

read the op and you will receive answers...

Has anyone tested?

I thought to give it a try.
First I backuped my phone, and flashed stock Indian rom and latest OTA update I had. (Mind that my device is a european XT1562 on which I have flashed Indian firmware in order to enable dual sim functionality).
Then I tried to flash the first .zip file via stock recovery, and all I got was error (status 7). It said that "package expects build fingerprint of ... MPDS24.107-70-1-5 or NPD26.42 and mine was MPDS24.107-52-11.
After searching the forum, I found a twrp backup of that exact version I needed(MPDS24.107-70-1-5)
So I just booted twrp recovery without flashing it on the phone, and restored the backup I downloaded.
Afterwards I rebooted to stock recovery and tried to flash the first zip, which again failed and I got the same message.
My system version was indeed MPDS24.107-70-1-5 at the time.
So I gave up and restored my perfectly working 6.0.1 setup.
Thanks for sharing the OTAs, but I had no luck installing them.
I guess I have to wait.

does not recognize ota
What version of the system do I need to have installed to be able to install the otas?
download from this thread " https://forum.xda-developers.com/mo...official-7-1-1-nougat-factory-update-t3626387 " and does not recognize them

Not a surprise! You need recovery and modem to be of latest version too.
But I really don't recommend to mess with OTA because you risk to get bricked. It's easy and unforgettable )
Ok folks, I'm pretty familiar with this stuff, here is ready to flash restore TWRP-backup 7.1.1 NPD26.48-24-1 for RETASIA DS model (modem and recovery also supplied). If you got different model, leave your native 6.0.1 modem on place.

I have 1 doubt , Afaik Moto never released soak ota to non soak member ,so what happen if we apply this ota and By chance Moto release 1 more ota to soak members . We will stuck on this version will be fully dependent on someone to leak that also . And aside you I don't see anyone doing this .

After installing all 5 of the updates , will the moto dev apps like Moto Survey , Perf Monitor , PM Test etc will be there or not..?

Of course not. I did all dirty job to rework OTA into ready to use 7.1.1 fresh build (final even, maybe )
Unlock needed, TWRP backup/restore experience, etc. You have to be at medium android-fu level. Please, read a bit about OTA risks

You mix up leaked development beta build, and public release candidate, that was just dumped and shared.

Until you have locked bootloader, or RSD service ROM 7.1.1 will leak. It should happen, I'm sure.

The updates remain same for all and are ready to install on Moto Servers. However they limit the people who can access these updates by EMEI number which they collect during Soak Test. Once the test is over, the EMEI limit is removed and same updates are delivered to everyone. Once the Soak Test is over, i believe, everyone will get to install all these one after another OR one build with all these updates packed in one file. However the final build number or version will be same for everyone. So nothing to be afraid of.
Having said these, you will just have to wait until Soak is over for any updates to come from Moto; Until then, i will release them here for benefit

Zip Files Not Visible
I went into the recovery mode and selected the update from SD card option But the zip files i copied into the root directory are not visible to select there. What should i do?

I have updated main post with below, however posting it for you as it is apt. Note if you dont have below builds, you can get one of Stock ROM from other threads in the forum and continue with installation.
Below is the sequence in which updates have to be applied. An update can be installed ONLY if existing version matches given after file name below. Note you can directly install a version and skip previous builds if your existing build matches one given below. Example : If your current build is 7.1.1/NPD26.48-8/8, can skip to install 01 and 02; directly install 03-05.
01. Blur_Version.26.1.42.lux_retasia_ds.retasiaall.en.03.zip if build is "ro.build = 6.0.1/MPDS24.107-70-1-5/5" OR "ro.build = 7.1.1/NPD26.42/34"
02. Blur_Version.26.21.8.lux_retasia_ds.retasiaall.en.03.zip if build is "ro.build = 7.1.1/NPD26.42/34" OR "ro.build = 7.1.1/NPD26.48-8/8"
03. Blur_Version.26.21.16.lux_retasia_ds.retasiaall.en.03.zip if build is "ro.build = 7.1.1/NPD26.48-8/8" OR "ro.build = 7.1.1/NPD26.48-16/16"
04. Blur_Version.26.21.24.lux_retasia_ds.retasiaall.en.03.zip if build is "ro.build = 7.1.1/NPD26.48-16/16" OR "ro.build = 7.1.1/NPD26.48-24/24"
05. Blur_Version.26.31.1.lux_retasia_ds.retasiaall.en.03.zip if build is "ro.build = 7.1.1/NPD26.48-24/24" OR "ro.build = 7.1.1/NPD26.48-24-1/1"

There are other threads in this forum where in full Stock ROM is released after integrating OTAs. One of the developers will do this and until then, just wait. Same has happened when i had released OTAs for previous version.

If you have copied files to Internal Memory, then you will have to choose Internal Memory instead of SD Card Option. I recommend you to move all files from Internal Memory to SD Card and apply update. In case you dont have SD Card, place one at a time in Internal Memory and apply updates.
