QPST flashing + VibeUI 3.1 S272 ROM + Unlock BL + TWRP + SuperSU + Region change

[_kyo_]

If you flash back S282 you will get original bootloader back, but you will also lose twrp recovery and root.

thanks for your answer; yes i flashed P1a42_S272_160506_ROW_QPST using rawprogram0.xml, lost recovery and root alos fastboot flash recovery gave me an error even if the bootloader shows unlocked

OKAY [ 0.579s]
writing 'recovery'...
FAILED (remote: invalid signature and data)

i guess i need to flash the unlocked bootloader again to be able to use custom recovery

 

[binh_hdda]

it is easy
download both S272 and S285 https://yadi.sk/d/hY3kNWJGrnpCU
Extract the arhives
Flash S285 and let it boot
Now flash unlock xml from the S272 folder and let it boot
Then flash twrp xml from the S282 folder bot do not let the phone boot up, after you press download hold volume up and down keys until you enter twrp, otherwise it will boot with the normal recovery.
That is all.
you will have permanent twrp

Please help me: I flash:
1- S285 then let it boot
2- FLash unlock xml
But it can not boot, my phone cannot wake up.
I try to flash S285 again but my computer said The usb can not reconize and in SQRT have no port
What can I do now?!!!!

It happend to me oance during a flash, i had only led turned on , usb did not recognize the phone
Try to turn the phone off
Press the volume keys and the power button , hold it until the phone is completely off, it migh restart a couple of times.
Then try to flash again.

Ok, so you flashed S285, that's good
Now you flash unlock xml from the S272 folder but you also browse the 272 programmer, duh
Then you flash TWRP and hold volume +- and power until you enter recovery if you let the phone boot after the TWRP flash it will it will load the default recovery, at least for me it did so.
Hope that helps
No time for pics, sorry mate

Hi guys,

I'm tring for third tie to get things done, unfortnately without success.

Let me tell you what I'm doing.

1. Qfil - 272 version, let phone reboot (it completely renew the phone (using rawprogram0.xml and patch0.xml)
2. After phone reboots completely, open system and add developer options, turn of the phone
3. QFIL to flash unlock bootloader (rawprogram_unlock.xml and patch0.xml)
4. Reboots phone completely, go to developer option and check that unlock bootloader option is enabled (always was)
5. Turn off phone
6. Flash TWP using rawprogram_twrp.xml and patch0.xml, let the phone reboots completely

up to this point everything goes smooth.

I have downloaded BETA-SuperSU-v2.43.zip, put it in ROOT of SD card.
Entered recovery TWRP 3.0.0 by holding vol+ and vol- during boot
selected option INSTALL
Selected SuperSU file
Started flashing from SD
Every information goes well. Now I have two options: Delete Cash and REBOOT. I pick REBOOT
After that phone goes black. No rebooting. I waited few minutes, nothing happened. Regular turning on does not work, if I connect it to PC it does not make connected sound or turn on light for charging (completely dead).
I had to turn on power key more than 10 sec and Lenovo logo showed, then it animated one sequence and stoped. Now I let phone wait for more than 10 minutes but it hang there.

Am I flashing wrong SuperSU file, am I'm missing some steps? what is going on?

Thank you for your help.

EDIT 1: I can enter to TWRP if do long press vol+/vol- and power

All the steps that you took are correct,
Re flash the phone and try again using this super su: https://download.chainfire.eu/696/supersu/
I tried different roms and never failed to root via twrp
Tell us how it went.
Good luck

yes, do that
Why are you still using s272 when s285 is out ?
s272 has battery drain problem

 

[majormickey]

I'm currently on rooted s272 with TWRP recovery. Can someone points me to a step by step instructions on how to flash s285 with root and twrp? I searched but most instructions are partial, translated from Russian or not clear enough. Thanks before hand

s272 has battery drain problem[/QUOT]

the reason is i wanted to install recovery and not to have the latest stock version; then i find out that having recovery is useless (for me) since i was looking to flash a custom rom like cm13. unfortunately there is no CM available;

now i am on s285

 

[ahmetoa]

I have problems :/ why this should be so harder.

I follow this steps with s272;
Flashing ROM with QFIL:
Flashing ROM:
Root (SuperSU):
after Root (SuperSU) phone stucked at Lenovo logo.

I close the phone and i flash s272, after that i flashed s285 with QFIL. Opened phone, set Google accounts, wifi etc. and did Flash unlocked bootloader & recovery step. I done it and i tried to open recovery and failed. It only entering Lenovo recovery.

Than i flash s285 again. After flash i choose Advanced flash unlocked bootloader & recovery step again. Done with BootLoader unlock: step and try Sometimes you need to do extra staff: step. When i run bat file phone restart and stuck on Lenovo logo. And cmd says < waiting for any device >. I only want to root this device.

Lenovo P1a42 6.0.1 i was using before i start all steps.

Did you try this yourself? Or anyone else can confirm this works?
I am on s285 thru OTA update. Unlocked the bootloader. But I can't flash the twrp recoveries in the first post with fastboot.
I don't want to erase user data while flashing twrp.
Thanks

just to be sure. here is what i did.

1- updated the phone to s285 via OTA.

2- OEM Unlocked the phone in developer settings.

3- unlocked the bootloader by using these commands from the first post:

echo    Trying to unlock BL...
fastboot oem unlock
echo    Trying to unlock BL again...
fastboot oem unlock-go
echo    Ready!
fastboot reboot

4- installed qfil from the first post. i chose rawprogram twrp xml and prog_emmc_firehose_8936.mbn.

5- then i got the error:
