Hey Guys need your help.
I had bricked my phone on Sunday. Today i have managed to get it working somehow but there is a catch here.

I had taken qcn backup long long ago on my phone.
1. If i restore my original qcn file then my mobile restores its imei no for both the sim but then my radio setting is getting locked to off position. See screenshots.
2. If i do not restore my qcn then i do not have my imei no but my radio setting can be changed to on or off. But it makes no sense as my imei no is not available, my sim card do not work.

How to restore my imei no and other information from qcn file without losing radio on/off feature.

Let's go one by one.
What do you want to do exactly you tell me.
I can't unlock the bootloader (or check if it's already unlocked). I've rooted with QFIL correctly and installed TWRP. But I want try to install custom roms, and the unlocked bootloader is a requitement. Thanks for the patience

And I do not have your same result with adb

Your bootloader is unlocked if you have twrp. Out P1a42 had root since ages but custom recovery didn't appear until bootloader can be opened. You need not worry.


But choose custom rom wisely. I bricked my phone 10 times at least while trying custom roms. Take qcn backup before you proceed and follow guidelines meticulously. Read all the details and reviews carefully.

Anybody from INDIA with rooted P1a42

Anybody from INDIA who has already rooted his Lenovo Vibe P1 (P1a42) could help me.

I have bricked my phone. I need qcn file which i can restore on my device. I have my original qcn file as well as imei nos but for some strange reasons it does not work. Whenever i put my qcn file my cell radio is forced in to off state only and could not be turned on by any means.

Tried to re-download the files ? Maybe files corrupted during internet transfer ?

Bro i have those downloads downloaded on my disk long long ago and all were working fine always. I have done those flashing numerous number of times using same data. So its not the currupt files something wrong somewhere else.

Anyways i changed the os from win 10 x64 to win 7 x86. Then all went well. Now i have recovered my phone.
I had to erase complete EMMC and make a single partition of 29GB ExFat and then using QFIL i installed the S288 ROM.

But it seems there are some partitions not written to ROM when we flash using S288 ROM rawprogram0.xml like fsc, ssd, modemst1, modemst2, DDR, fsg, sec, devinfo, splash, persist, misc, keystore, config and oem. Due to these missing information i am not sure what all i am going to suffer now. After first boot i did not had some of the information. I have restored my on qcn backup using QFIL. But strangely now am not able to set my CELL RADIO to ON and on CDMA workshop/ QXDM my phone is shown as CDMA mode.

I guess i need to flash stock ROM data on these partitions as the flash process wants to keep these information intact after flashing of ROM. But in my case now it is not present.

It will be great help if someone can make/give complete all partition image or ROM.

Hey guys a new query here. Your expert opinion is required.

Check this attached screenshot.
I have range of both the networks. IMEI is also my original IMEI. But baseband is unknown. I remember baseband had some value. Why is it unknown now. Any idea?

Is there anything abnormal to worry or shall I ignore it?

Do exactly like demonstrated in this video by me.

1. Flash recovery from adb and then reboot into recovery.
If by mistake you boot in to the system then stock recovery will be restored automatically. This is what happened in your case.
2. Ensure your recovery file is correct and not corrupted firstly boot in to the custom recovery without flashing as demonstrated in the video when you get in recovery mode you may flash super Su and then flash recovery.

Do you get stuck at logo after you use command

adb reboot-bootloader

It seems you are at fastboot mode and that is normal
