Sounds like your system is corrupt, and there is an update.zip left over from an OTA upgrade. When the stock recovery boots, it always installs update.zip then shuts down. Unfortunately the OTAs don't get deleted after installation, so if you ever get a problem, you can't enter recovery.
Here's what you need to do:
1. Download http://www.doc.ic.ac.uk/~grm08/ideapad/cwm-5.0.2.7-rev3-ideapad-a1.zip
2. Rename this file to update.zip, and copy it onto a micro SD card.
3. Boot up into recovery again. You'll see it do the same thing where it installs the update.zip and then shuts down, but this time it will install Clockworkmod Recovery.
4. Boot into recovery again. The Clockworkmod recovery won't automatically do an install then shutdown, you'll be given a menu instead.
5. First, try using the volume keys to scroll down to "wipe data/factory reset", and press the power key to select it. Try booting up normally again - this may have fixed your problem.
6. If this hasn't fixed the problem, get the 2643 zip file for your region from http://download.lenovo.com/slates/a1/OTA/ - copy this file on to your SD card, boot up into recovery, choose "install zip from SD card", then "choose zip from SD card" then choose the zip file that you just downloaded from Lenovo. It will install a fresh copy of the system, which should hopefully work after you reboot into the normal system.
If this doesn't fix it, or you get stuck, please post back with a description of what you tried and what happened.

In this situation you wouldn't expect the recovery to "work" in the normal way. After you've installed the Clockworkmod update.zip you'll have a working recovery again.

You didn't mention here but I saw in another thread that you attempted to use the leaked ICS installer which has messed up your A1.
If that is what you did, then you can look at these instructions for producing a bootable SD card that will allow you to boot into clockworkmod recovery and flash an OTA to get everything back to stock.

bootable SD card= linux required???
Can you help me?
I don't have linux - i install linux via virtual box
VFAT (extended fat)=FAT???

Yeah, you're going to have to install linux in a virtualbox. VFAT is built on top of the FAT filesystem.

If you read those instructions I gave, you'll see that there's a script called omap3-mkcard.sh that partitions and formats the SD card for you.

OK, thanks

[Q] Stuck in Fastboot. Please Help!!

Okay, here's the situation. I had the first version of the Skydragon 5.0 Lollipop ROM on my Verizon HTC One M8. I saw that there was a new version of Skydragon that had 5.0.1, so naturally, I wanted to update. I downloaded the ROM and flashed it through TWRP, which I already had installed. I rebooted, and the standard fastboot menu showed up without me pressing Volume Down and Power at the same time on my phone. I thought this was weird, because I didn't tell the pone to boot into any sort of menu, and the only options on the screen were HBOOT, RAMDUMP, REBOOT, REBOOT FASTBOOT, and POWER DOWN, as shown here:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I selected the "reboot" option. I got rebooted into the same menu. I then selected "reboot fastboot" and the same thing happened. I then selected "hboot" and for a split second all of the normal options, including "recovery", appears, but I am unable to move the selection. Then it shows that there is an update and it asks me if I want to start the update, as shown here:
If I press the Volume Up button to update, this is what is shown after about five seconds or so:
If I press the Volume Down button to not update, this is what's shown:
Any way I try to do it, whenever it asks me to reboot, I get stuck in exactly the same situation with the same options and the same limitations, and I'm at a loss for what to do here. Can anybody help me? Any help at all would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance!

Eject your SD card.. Boot to recovery (option will now work) . Once in recovery put SD card back in. Flash rom. And oh by the way, delete that 0P6BIMG.zip from your ext SD so you stop going nuts!

My problem solved please admin close this thread

Please!! tell my how you did it. I have the same problem. Greatly appreciated.

I am just bothered by the same problem for days.

did some research in the meantime...it seems only a few other HAM7 owners ended up like we did.
Unfortunately none of them was able to get the phone back to life, even though it's "just" a soft brick.

bro my problem solved after am leave my phone on charger for 3 hours , before always failed but after recharge my phone for 3 hourse its working and make update with no errors

solved!!
Finally I managed to get the device back to life
Here's what I did:
1. get the latest ROM package for your device - this MUST be the ROM you had installed prior to the crash
2. extract the package with Huawei Update extractor
3. flash via fastboot a) the boot.img and b) the recovery.img (take those file from the extracted folder)
4. get a SD Card and put the update.app file into the dload folder in root directory (you have to create dload folder first)
5. put the SD Card into the device and force update via 3-button method (press Vol +, Vol - and Power at the same time)
6. Update should complete now (if you stuck with 90%, try a different ROM - for me it only worked with exactly the same package I've installed prior to the crash)
- That should be it....Can't tell you how happy I am, after 2 weeks I got my beloved Mate7 back.

Force update do not boot via 3 button method and go directly into rescue mode(FUNC_LOAD_IOM3). Is it possible to get my HAM7 life back?

You're sure you have the correct update.app in the dlaod folder of your sd-card? As I wrote before, for me it only worked when I had the exact same update.app (in my case it was the B324 Version).
But see the steps I've done before, I mean I flashed boot and recovery img - which I've extracted from the update package.
Honestly, I'm not 100% sure what finally solved my problem - I just tried to recall the steps I made.

[Recovery][Unofficial][Marino]TWRP 3.1.1-0 for Lenovo K8 Plus XT1902-2

Team Win Recovery Project 3.x.x is a custom recovery built with ease of use and customization in mind. Its a fully touch driven user interface no more volume rocker or power buttons to mash. The GUI is also fully XML driven and completely theme-able. You can change just about every aspect of the look and feel.

Prerequirements:-
1. Your Bootloader must be unlocked. Here is the guide
2. Internal Storage will be wiped.
Bugs:-
1. Battery Percentage doesn't show
2. You tell me
Instructions:-
1. Go to the fastboot mode.
2. Now paste the recovery in adb folder.
3. Open the cmd by holding shift and press right click in adb folder and then click open command promote here.
4. Now to confirm that device is connected properly type:-
Code:
fastboot devices
You'll get your device serial number there.
5. After that type:-
Code:
fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.1.1-0-marino.img
Voilà TWRP flashed successfully.
6. Now unplug your device and then hold power button for 2 secs and then hold volume (-) after that press power button once.
Now you'll find yourself in TWRP.
Enjoy

Note:- After flashing recovery you must have to wipe Internal Storage to remove encryption. Also, you must have to flash magisk so that it will patch boot.img through which system will not be able to overwrite TWRP again.

Hi i am a newbie to rooting. Could you please give me detailed steps. I understood till the point of flashing twrp. After that do I have to wipe data and flash magisk right then? (I have tried installing twrp 2 times but every time after installing and restarting it shows android recovery only.)
One more thing, will I be able to upgrade to oreo through OTA if I have the stock android recovery, since twrp is replaced by stock recovery every time ( although bootloader is unlocked)?

This part didn't work for me.
I still have the same recovery, not TWRP.
---------- Post added at 12:25 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:09 AM ----------
[edit] Hm weird... After a few tries, without changing any setting (??!) it finally worked, i am on TWRP recovery now
[edit] Rebooted. And i'm back to normal recovery again. What is happening?

OK. I was able to install TWRP. It is still there when i reboot in recovery mode.
I then installed superSU from SD card. Wiped cache/dalvik and rebooted.
Now i am stuck, the phone won't boot. It is not exactly looping, but it is stuck on the "Alcatel onetouch <-> smart move" white animation... and not going forward at all

Hi
Here my experience with this method : https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=75479341&postcount=109
I managed to boot again, using Mobile Upgrade Q.
I found this on reddit
Download Decker's Sahara and Firehose (Alcatel Flasher), latest SuperSU and appropriate TWRP for your model (see xda). Follow the instructions on Decker's website to flash TWRP (to be safe backup the stock recovery partition first). Launch TWRP and make sure to mount /system only as read NOT rw. From TWRP's terminal type "echo SYSTEMLESS=true>>/data/.supersu" and then flash SuperSU zip. Reboot and you're rooted. Tested on my 6045Y. If you have questions pm me.

Those were the instructions I used to get systemless root on the stock Alcatel MM and regain fastboot which enabled me to flash with Lineage.
But this was before the latest "update" from Alcatel that users have been saying has stopped them from rolling back the adware on the system apps.

I'm running Ubuntu. Is there a way that I can do it with adb and fastboot?
