Hello all, I have a Lenovo a6000 smartphone. It was owned by my friend. She had a problem with the android os, so she went to a local store and the there it got hard bricked. Now if I turn it on it only vibrates once. no backlight or any picture. If I press and hold vol- and power buttons together LCD backlight turns on but no display. then it goes off and then again turns on. PC does not detect it. Can anyone help me getting it out from this state?
My lenovo a6000 is hard bricked. PC not detecting it.

Can you give the link please..... please note the phone is no longer detected in pc
You need to have adb and fastboot drivers for your phone to correctly get detected.
Here's the LINK FOR QFIL TUTORIAL. You'll need another set of drivers called as the QCOM drivers which are mentioned in the tutorial from the above link.
Hope this helps.
I already have installed the drivers. Still not detected. Even the device manager does not show a device is connected
Here the phone connects in Qualcomm hs-USB...... mode. But in case of mine, it does not even show up in the device manager.
You should try changing the usb cable you are using. Or maybe that guy in the local repair shop didn't put the sub PCB board back correctly.
There is only one pcb in it. Changing the cable does not make a difference
One update. I can get into the fastboot mode. But the bootloader is locked. What to do?
Lenovo A6000 doesn't come with a locked bootloader B-l
If you can boot into fastboot then you should flash twrp from it depending on the current android version of the device. If it had been on kitkat flash this TWRP v2.8.6.0 or if it has been updated to lollipop then flash the latest TWRP v3.1.0.
For this you need to first have the fastboot drivers installed and also the minimal adb and fastboot tool. Then place the required TWRP in that folder, better rename the file to 'recovery.img' and then in the CMD window which you open by Shift + Right Click first type
Code:
fastboot devicesLater, if successful, type in
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.imgThen flash any ROM on the device using it.
Thanks! I will try it and post the results.
Btw are you sure it does not come with a locked bootloader? I tried to flash the stock recovery and got an error saying "unknown command or device is lock"

Yeah bro I'm 100% positive. I think unknown command is displayed when you flash the wrong version of recovery.
You can also try
Code:
fastboot boot recovery.imgTried the above method but no luck it gives an error: "unknown command or device is lock".
Try this with the CWM recovery too.
BTW does your device gets detected by fastboot devices command? Also, have you tried the QPST method?
Device gets detected by fastboot devices command. I cant try qpst because the device is not detected in any other mode except fastboot. I hv all the drivers installed
You've tried booting into Download mode? It requires you to press the VOL UP + POWER KEY, then you need to select the Download mode in it to perform flashing through QPST.
Also, you never mentioned what android version was the device on, earlier.
If i press and hold vol up and power key together the phone only vibrates once and shows nothing. And i think my friend applied the lollipop update on it. She is not sure.
I think you are missing something (maybe).
The command is "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img"
If the recovery files name is twrp.img then command will be "fastboot flash recovery twrp.img".
