I was trying to flash a custom ROM in my Lenovo A6000. I rooted the phone with KingRoot. Then using Rashr I flashed the twrp img. I went to recovery and then I made a backup using TWRP's Backup option. I rebooted the phone and again went to recovery Then tapping the Wipe option I went toAdvanced Wipe where I checked the boxes next to Data, System, Cache, Dalvik. After that I went to the Install option where I chose the ROM.zip file from the sd card. The installation failed, I tried to install again but it failed again ( I must have had a bad copy of the file ). Since I had already wiped the system I went to the Restore option, chose the backed up file to restore. The restore was successful. But when I tapped the Reboot button after a couple of seconds the device screen went off and the phone kept on vibrating continuously after short intervals. I tried pressing the POWER button for a long time--> keeps on vibrating. I tried going to recovery by pressing the hardware keys--> still keeps on vibrating. I tried connecting to the computer after taking out the battery and replacing it. NOthing seems to work. It keeps showing the same problem. Please Help...

First of all " don't panic ", its nothing. First remove your battery and then insert it. Now press "VOL UP + VOL DOWN + POWER KEY" together and leave the " POWER KEY " once the lenovo logo shows up. You'll enter into recovery. Now, wipe the cache, dalvik and reboot. If still doesn't boot, then wipe data, android secure too (not system). This will surely do.

And, mention the error you faced while installing the new ROM, like Error 6 or anything. If you were on stock kk earlier, then to flash Lollipop ROMs, you'll have to flash stock LP ROM first.

I had tried that too. But the only response I get are those continuous vibrations. The screen does not light up at all. No, its not a display problem. I can't do anything with the phone, can't enter recovery. The only response to whatever I do plug in power supply, press the power key, press the key combination to go into recovery, plug into laptop and such are those vibrations.
:rolleyes:

Same problem with me, I was browsing facebook and suddenly my phone's screen blacks out. I can access recovery ,my device is detected by PC normally and can access all files, but display blacks out and I cannot see anything.
If I boot phone normally, It starts vibrating periodically. Maybe, because of Bootloops.
(Funny thing is, I can feel everything but cannot see anything on my phone)

in my experience, if your PC can recognize the device as qualcom.. you should go with the file.
if your device still vibrating countinuosly.. you should do test point
if test point not working. please go to lennove service center.

I also faced that problem when doing an ota update of MiUi and the I had to change the motherboard . Since it was under warranty I got it replaced for free.

Too bad you replaced it. At least was in warranty
