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

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

the instructions are other way around buddy. You should check it.
so i got my mate7 over a year ago and right from the start i installed cm11. i only had the stock rom for a week. its been so long that i forgot this phone has a fingerprint scanner. i have decided to flash the latest huawei rom and then shortly after flash KangVIP. the problem is that i dont know where to begin.
im currently running CM11 from this thread. i installed TWRP using acbka's tool (thanks!). so, where do i go from here? im guessing i go to stock recovery and then do a serious of stock firmware upgrades. the problem is i dont know which ones.
my phone model is an MT7-L09 (im in the US if that matters). im hoping i can get LP installed before the spring semester. any and all help is appreciated. thanks and happy new year.
For coming back to huawei stock rom from CM11 I usually:
(Wipe /data and /system from recovery)
Flash from recovery this ROM http://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-7/development/rom-erykinemt7-v1-0-0-mt7-l09-b137sp03-t3044695 or any kitkat rom that comes with flashable zip
Flash the stock kitkat recovery (Option 1 from acbka's tools)
Flash a stock kitkat rom (this for example --- I didn't try flashing Lollipop stock rom here, you can just try it or install kitkat stock then lollipop stock) using huawei update tool (you have to put the stock rom in /dload folder, then go to settings, update and start a local update). It's important that you have flashed the stock recovery in the previous step because a non-official recovery won't let you install huawei software.
Now you can receive OTA updates
(I use cwm recovery but I think that it's just the same with twrp)
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.

I have unlocked my device bootloader and installed CWM recovery following the guide https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-4c/development/honor-4c-root-cwm-recovery-inshaalmirza-t3177770 was able to install CWM but I wanted to install TWRP and followed the guide by @HassanMirza01 but wasnt success to install TWRP , if I am trying to flash Marshmallow ROM using CWM or by flashing IMG files using ADB I am not able to do it. Every Time I try to flash a ROM from CWM I am getting error and while flashing IMG files using ADB the screen is being struck at boot logo.Can anyone guide me how to replace CWM with TWRP so that I can Install Marshmallow (every time while I am trying to flash TWRP it is being struck at boot logo and had to flash stock ROM to recover the phone) and install marshmallow.
Note: Initially I upgraded to Lollipop as the version was not stable and Buggy I reverted to stock version using the official guide.

You can try this TWRP https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-4c/development/recovery-twrp-3-0-0-0-huawei-honor-4c-t3349495 or some version of TWRP for honor 4x or p8lite. And then you can try to flash stock firmare using this tutorial https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-4x/how-to/install-emui-4-1-4x-4c-g-play-g-play-t3515702. You might need to be in lollipop or marshmallow to use it.
Hi @keikari thanks for the reply, that is the case where I am facing the problem Neither I can install Twrp 3.0.1-0 (r1,2,3,4) variants nor lollipop or marshmallow update .I am struck with stock Rom tried more than 15 to 20 times . Can you provide any alternative solutions.

What error did fastboot gave you when you tried to flash TWRP?
No error given but after flashing twrp device is struck at boot screen and can't move to next screen cwm flashing works fine .
Is it mandatory to have lollipop or marshmallow update to flash twrp?

I don't know how things really work or why they need stuff to work. But in TWRP thread it says for android 5.1.1 - 6.0. So I guess it's important to have some of those versions.
Is there any other way to flash lollipop or marshmallow from cwm? I even extracted update.app and flashed recovery, system , boot images individually but it also doesn't work struck at boot screen. Can I fully wipe system files from phone and re-flash lollipop or marshmallow update. Similar to full format of a PC.

No idea will that work, but one thing that comes to mind is to flash those images you did and then put UPDATE.APP in your sd card in folder named dload and do force upgrade ( power + vol up + vol down ).

Tried that too but no success. I think the problem occurred while downgrading to kitkat from lollipop maybe it corrupted the boot system. Even that is the case while flashing and wiping cache so many times it might have showed error in any of the instances but it didn't. Can't find out what actually preventing system to update.
Hi all
I have a Huawei gr5 2017 that I updated it to EMUI 5.0 some time ago I unlocked the bootloader without problems I flashed twrp recovery and installed SuperSU.zip and everything was good but by accident I started installing another SuperSU.zip file so the phone couldn't boot . ?
I tried to install the stock firmware using the dload method but it didn't work so I tried installing the EMUI 5.0 firmware , also didn't work , so I unzipped the update.app file of the stock firmware to flash it manually but I couldn't flash anything other than RECOVERY.img and BOOT.img so I did the same with the EMUI 5.0 update firmware and managed to flash RECOVERY.img , BOOT.img and SYSTEM.img successfully . ?
When I rebooted the device it booted normally but I can't use the camera , the developer settings , or watch YouTube videos using the app and when using browser to watch a video or music app , I can't hear anything .?
Appreciate any advice or help
Thanks in advance ?

Also I installed twrp recovery as recovery2 so can I install a twrp backup after a similar/same device with EMUI 5.0 update. ??????
Or should I install a custom Rom if possible ????????
