After the Lenovo A6000 Lollipop Update we lost the CWM/TWRP recovery and then we cannot flash the old one anymore on it. Now you can install TWRP recovery on Lenovo A6000 Lollipop updated the phone and then you can again revert back to your old Kitkat Rom on Lenovo A6000 or install any custom ROM. It is even possible to root your device after you install TWRP on Lenovo A6000 which is running on Lollipop 5.0.2 or above.
WARNING : Rooting or installing a custom rom or recovery might brick your device or your device may act abnormally and you also lose the device warranty. You may even get a dead SD card which might not work or you can leave your device in a dead state. Before going through the entire tutorial please be advised that it is your own responsibility to go further. We’re not liable for any loss of data or any property of yours by any mean.

My Lenovo A6000 is not rebooting into fastboot. It gets stuck on the starting screen.
Please help……
https://www.techolite.com/33498/how-to-unbrick-lenovo-a6000plus.html
the screen itself is a fastboot mode , try command “fastboot devices” (without quotes) then you can see your device attached
please help how to fix this…….after I enter fastboot boot recovery.img it download but it says failed(remote: dtb not found)
Install the drivers on your pc.
i did all the steps to flash the recovery.
but when i restart the phone to enter the recovery, it enters the stock recovery.
Use above step correctly…
Enter bootloader
Open cmd (adb)
Fastboot flash recovery xxxx.img (filename xxxx)
Fastboot reboot
the recovery you boot is a temporary one if you reboot again to bootloader and tap on recovery it shows the stock recovery itself, so whenever you need to flash zips you have to follow the whole prcedure of booting a twrp! hope this helps

Hi brother
You have to use the command “fastboot flash recovery recovery.img” instead of ” fastboot boot recovery.img”.
Did you install the drivers?
