Can't flash stock firmware - Lenovo Vibe K5 Plus Questions & Answers

I have a Lenovo A6020a40 (SD 616 version), and I'm trying to flash stock ROM, but no success. Tried to flash with QFIL, but I'm getting this error:
ERROR: function: sahara_rx_data:237 Unable to read packet header. Only read 0 bytes.
ERROR: function: sahara_main:924 Sahara protocol error
ERROR: function: main:303 Uploading Image using Sahara protocol failed
Download Fail:Sahara Fail:QSaharaServer Failrocess fail
Finish Download
Tried to flash with Lenovo Smart Assistant, downloaded firmware directly from program, but when I connect my phone, after 10 seconds it says "Flash failed". How I can flash this phone back to stock?

Re download the firmware and don't install the qpst tool that is given in the firmware. Download and install the qpst tool separately and then try.

Thanks, this firmware worked for me. But, returning to stock doesn't solved my issue. My SIM cards isn't recognized, it says "No SIM card installed". How I can get my SIM signal back? I tested two working SIM cards and none of them are recognized

Does your phone have Imei And Baseband ?
If have...
you should check sim slot
check the yellow connector and if when you put sim in its sound its because of your sim slot

If you're trying to flash WM2003SE, than it's impossible to flash via SD....
If you're trying to flash any other ROM, than the ROM-File is corrupt......

downgrading bootloader does not change anything at the XDATools error message....
You can try flashing via SD card without downgrading bootloader. This is not required for all cases.

Shouldn't be, at least not from that, not completely.
Was this the first condition, or an added problem?
I think best thing to try is the service ROM.
This one is BND-L21C432..
Service rom BND-L21C432
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=11050483647474828964
1. Unzip download
2. copy the dload folder to root of sdcard
3. power on phone holding all three buttons
4. After phone finishes and reboots, unlock frp and bootloader, if needed
5. Use Huru or HWOTA to flash correct firmware for your model/ region.. If this is not the correct version for your honor 7x
Now with dc phoenix i have restore the fastboot and the erecovery, i can flash all i want but nothing happens, just boot loop at "your phone is not trusted" screen.
I was on catuva's rom before brick and now i have the catuva splashboot screen even after full firmware retore by dc phoenix.
When i try to flash in twrp i see lot of errors related to partition table (invalid argument cust, odm, sytsem etc) it seems the partition table have a problem..
The DLOAD can restore this ?
When i try to restore via dload it stuck at 5% and it says "software install failed!" ..
Someone Help me ?..

Says in the install guide for it, you must be running at newest security patch in order to install elemental.
Please focus on one thing. Getting phone to boot full stock first before trying other rom. You are going to hard brck your phon if you keep doing flashes when the stock fails to install

I am not understanding how you say you follow my guide, then post the error.
This error shows you are trying to install ota update with TWRP.
My guide sets you to install ota update file with a modified stock recovery (no-check).
If you are having trouble because of bad translation, please do not assume what you need to do and wait for proper help and translation

Something that are unavaible ...

If you accidentally formatted your device , then how to restore imei
How to deal with: Download not complete error
Sn writer
Elaborate more with Download part
Download Not Complete: something blah blah blah after 10s, 0*92655 something something...
Sn writer / Maui Meta doesn't work for null imei for realme3.
Thanx
The device on which I am flashing the firmware is REALME 3, I used SP Flash tool for flashing, while flashing with SP Flash flash tool, the tool show EMMC unknown,but the flashing completes successfully,
then after pressing power ON, this message appears at the bottom ,
Download Not Complete! Please press Volume+ and power key for 10s to power off. Then download again. Otherwise will block here 60s until shutdown automatically. error code : 0*9925669( I can't see the last digit bcoz of the glass cover).
PLS GUIDE.THNX
Give possible solution for imei
@yas8say , has provided possible solution, I will try that next time I'll get this error. In thread brick repair by @ATDteam .
If you can use SP flash tools, SN writer DOES work on your fone, but it's figuring out a certain timing and sequence of events. that prove my point. Your at the point you need to be, it's waiting on you doing what I'm trying to say... your too demanding wanting the quick fix...
Everytime you post pauses me in case I need to change what I write to you, so slow down, your distracting me lol
Sn Writer is actually a pain to use, and there are many versions. But I learnt a sneaky fast path with it's appearing to not work. It does work, but kind of in reverse of what you think it does.
Sn Writer, strange but true, calls 'serial' as in serial number, 'barcode' in some versions, so some think because they cant see 'serial' that it wont work. I know because at first, I did. Took me a while to learn this.
Load up Sn Writer, it'll ask to load a file, the window that opens should be where you see MTK DA ALL IN bin, select it. Then choose scatterfile from stock firmware.
Now set correct attestation keys found in stock rom, your aftersales stock, with your attestation keys /google keys blah blah...
You then have to choose what you want to flash. If you see serial, that is NOT what you want to flash, you have to flash BARCODE! (your fones serial number) I know you said IMEI, but in order, SN writer flashes BARCODE before IMEI 1, so you MUST flash serial and mac PACKAGE given in stock rom?
So what I do is open the window to type in BARCODE box, my serial number.
Imei 1 is obvious, but you MUST do imei 2 as well, or it will add a few digits to imei 1's mac, put it in imei 2 that may not corespond to your attestation key.
Over to fone.
I turn my fone OFF, hit start in SNWriter, and plug phone into pc, and wait. You can tie your hands to your chair for a min, because if you interupt this TIMING...
Just when you think it wont work, folks give up. Wait that wee bit longer... it will show pass or fail. If its all genuine stock, it cant fail, only impatience caused by not knowing this sequence, and SN's bug-inesss
I'm too tired right now, and I see you posting again lol, my eyes are dry and its sleep time, and since you think it wont work, I'll catch up later today on this post, beacuse I'm gettin ratty with myself lol
Patience.. I'll be back...

I have faced this too, but luckily i had already taken a backup from recovery of nvram ,nvcfg, nvdata partitions .After flashing the recovery i just restored the partitions.
SO, GUYS IF YOU CAN BOOT INTO RECOVERY FIRST THING YOU HAVE TO DO BEFORE FLASHING ANY PARTITION IS TO MAKE A BACKUP OF THEM

The unique problem I am facing is that I was able to flash the firmware, but I couldn't do anything after that because I did format which resulted in """ null imei """ without it the in-depth test app doesn't work, so the after process of bootloader unlocking and then rooting is unachievable, I can't downgrade with official ozip file given in realme website, I did that and it resulted in hard brick( basically without unlocking bootloader I can't do sh*t) , my device is up & running but without imei the further processes are stalled, I will try the method of using sn writer mentioned here..the repair guy even mentioned something about bin fine not found so he couldn't write imei, I have successfully used Maui Meta & SN Writer to write imei of my other mediatek chip containing device , but it didn't worked on realme3, yes you may have solved my problem of "" Download not Complete"" I have posted two pictures in the brick repair thread by @ATDteam . Thanx.
I will try to repair imei and post the outcome here.
2 years ago I formatted by other mediatek chip device lenevo and it did show NVRam error in wifi, after repairing imei it didn't show , & now this mediatek chip device realme does show NVRam error in wifi :: -- NVRAM WARNING: Err =0*10

If you want to unlock bootloader just use mtkclient ,its very simple.
And if you want my imei files i can provide you but you got to have twrp installed.BTW where are you from?
Tried mtkclient & mtksu app , didn't work, first I will write imei, then use in-depth test, then unlock bootloader, then downgrade, then root using mtksu.. fingers crossed

My device is realme3, it's on Android10 c.17, will I will be able to root with magisk ? Ok I will try.
No straight business,
Ok i tried, gave same error preloader dax main. .., so I switched off , as soon as the device turns off n pressed all three buttons to go into brom mode, the other cmd with python command ran and wrote twrp Spartan recovery,, then switched on, key combo didn't work, bcoz it was showing ' the serial is not match......' so I typed adb reboot recovery, it booted to realme UI recovery.
Surely have to downgrade to Android 9 to root & install recovery
