how to install zip of supersu in lenova a7000 it shows lenova recovery in chinese language only four options are there no option for instal zip pls help me my number 9989939238
Hey, I think you missed the no 8 and 9 points! If you switch on your phone after flashing, then the TWRP recovery will be deleted and when you will access recovery you will see Lenovo recovery! So flash it again using SP flash and then directly go to recovery mode by pressing Vol. UP+Down+Power button simultaneously.
Hey man.. This is a great post.. I have successfully flashed the twrp 2.8.60 but when going to the recovery there’s no option for “install zip from sd card” so i was unable to root my device.. Need help please… Thanks in advance.. BTW i hav the latest firmware version installed on the device.. “A7000-a_S144_150721_ROW”
After successfully flashing via SP Flash tool, don’t switch on the phone! Instead of this you need to go recovery directly by pressing Vol UP+Down+ Power button simultaneously. Read the 8 and 9 point carefully.

Hey Tanmoy, I was able to get it working last time. But one question, how long does it generally take from a procedure standpoint. Last time I slept off after initiating and so don’t remember. And today, when I am trying to root, this has been going on for almost 30+ mins now.
Reg,
San
This is process of few minutes! It should not take 30 minutes! May I know on which method you are using and on which step it’s taking such a long time?

Nice Tutorial to root mobile very easily
thankz…its work for me….
Hello, I tried to follow this tutorial but I ended up on step 7 (method 1): Put the battery and connect your Phone to PC via USB, this will start the flashing process. No flashing process started. 🙁 Can you help, please? It looked like there is some mistake in prvisous srtep 6 – I have set everything as described in tutorial, hit Download button but it seemed nothing happens. So after some time I disconnected the phone and followed the tutorial to next step, but it seems that nothing happens.
If flashing does not start mean driver not installed properly mainly the preloader driver.
coba mampir kemari mas, uda ane tested 🙂 work

You can check it from About Phone option!
When I follow all steps and finally hit the download button of flash tool …it tells that the file is not setup yet
hey bro, i m getting BROM error. Many others also posted for this error but u dont answer them.
Plzz help …..
Is is error code Error 5054 ?
Meaning: The files you’re trying to flash do not belong to or are not compatible with the phone you’re trying to flash them to
Solution:
* Ensure you’re using the correct files. If you’re sure they are, then try formatting before flashing again
It perfectly worked for me 🙂 ..I’ve done it.
Note: This method is strictly for ROW devices, don’t try on Chinese devices.
What this line mean – shall i not try this method on a7000 phones which is made in china.
Every Lenovo phone is China made. But Lenovo makes two variant of a same model. Does your phone comes with Google Play store out of the box then its ROW version. In build version you can check also its ROW or CN.
tried Kingroot on my Lenovo A7000-a and it worked
is it working now because most of the users are now having problems…..
stuck at lock screen and you are only giving rom download link
Its working… .
Thkz… bro
i ended up brickigng my a7000, what do you mean by ROW and CHINESE devices? how can i determine if its a ROW or CHINESE, i know its Original
after flashing the TWRP successfully my phone dont POWER ON now, only LOGO appears with notes below saying “TOOL Image DLL failed.”
what can i do to unbricked my phone?
You need to flash stock ROM!
To know if your device is ROW or CN: First make sure your device is on stock ROM, then go to settings and About then build number.
thanks for the reply, i solved my problem by flashing the recovery again but changing the setting, .In the menu “Option” tab, go to “Download”, and put a “tick” in the “DA DL All with Checksum”.
I read instruction again and i saw where is my mistake.
thanks!
Hi Tanmoy Das,
Thanks for this awesome explanation. Could you please help me to understand if it would be possible to install the apps of external memory after rooting Lenovo a7000 currentlly it doesnt allow.

Please suggest me any app or manual technique for lenovo A7000.
thanks bro, works perfect method 1
Hi
I tried method 1 and completed step 8. Then i pressed volume up+down buttons and power button simultaneously, the lenovo logo appeared then i released power button and continued to hold volume up+ down buttons,NOTHING HAPPENED (It should have entered the TWRP).
What should i do now???
Please reply fast.
I have android 6.0
Have you switch on your phone after flashing TWRP?
I followed the instructions number 1, now the phone will not turn on. Just glows red and sometimes vibrates.
Have you tried on your ROW device?.. If its not turning on then flash stock ROM
Can I go with same method for lenovo a7000-a model..plz tell me
I am not sure!! Try a your own risk.
hi sure , first thnx for ur great jope , it is worked perfect , but now i just want to do fectory reset , is that will do any damage for the new rom , and i see new updates for this rom , so can u give us the new update wich worak in A7000
Rooting may cause you no OTA updates… first, be sure is there any update available for your device by Google, Facebook Group or asking your friend who has same device. Just check the build number you will understand whether your friend has updated or yours. If there is OTA update but you are not getting then you need to flash stock ROM as Rooting stops OTA update sometime.
and wht about fectory reset , is that will do any damage for the device after root?
how much time did the flashing process takes?
upload files again pls i want to root my phone again by this method
Th the link says file owners restricted the file
