Lenovo A916 Firmware Video
Installation new firmware on the phone is a responsible business and requires preliminary preparation. You can reflash Lenovo a319, a916 and other models smartphones in several ways, using the Recovery menu or special programs on the computer. Let's consider where it is better to download the firmware to Android on Lenovo and how to install it correctly on a mobile phone.
Android OS firmware on Lenovo smartphones may be needed in different situations. Someone's cell phone began to glitch and reboot spontaneously, others were tired of it standard settings personalization. Regardless of what exactly prompted you to reflash, you must carefully read the step-by-step instructions for its implementation. It is also worth noting that most Lenovo smartphones are equipped with MTK processors and have their own characteristics, which we will mention below.
Download the required firmware version
The first thing to start with flashing a smartphone at home is to search current version firmware. If you try to install an unsuitable version, then the smartphone, at best, will work with limited functionality and system errors... After all, each firmware also contains software drivers to all main hardware modules of the device: camera, speakers, radio module, etc. If they are incompatible with the components used in the phone, then they will also not work.
It is best to search for custom firmware versions on thematic sites and forums. For example, you can download free firmware for smartphones such as: Lenovo a859, a319, note k50 and many other models. Before downloading them, be sure to read the installation instructions in Russian and compatibility with your mobile phone. Typically, the firmware is downloaded as zip archive but in one file, which later needs to be placed on the phone's memory card or on a PC.
We reflash through the modified Recovery
Through stock Recovery, only official firmware versions can be installed on Lenovo smartphones. This is also not bad, but in most cases, they are flashed to custom firmware, which the usual way do not install. To download them, you must first reflash the Recovery menu itself on Android. Cope with this task is not so difficult, all you need is:
- Unlock bootloader and enable USB debugging on Android.
- Download Android SDK Platform Tools.
- Download the required version of Recovery and save the file in .img format on your computer. We recommend downloading TWRP from the developer's official website.
- Turn off your phone, go to fastboot mode, and then connect it to your computer via a USB cable.
- Open a command window by first navigating to the location directory android folders SDK Platform Tools.
- Type the command fastboot flash recovery “path to the recovery file” and press the enter button.
- After a notification about the successful installation of Recovery appears on the screen, you can disconnect the smartphone from the computer and try to start it.
Now you can proceed directly to installing the new firmware. To do this, we pre-record the required archive on a memory card and insert it into a smartphone. Next, turn off the mobile phone again and do the following:
- We go into custom Recovery. To do this, with the smartphone turned off, we hold down the volume up / down key combination + the lock / off button. In the Recovery menu, navigation is carried out with the same volume control buttons, and the confirmation of the action is carried out with the lock key. But in case TWRP control is touch-sensitive, as in the menu operating system mobile phone.
- We are cleaning data and cache. To do this, select the wipe - data - wipe cache - wipe dalvik cache item.
- Installing the firmware. To do this, click on the Install button zip from sd card, select the desired archive and wait for the process to end.

We reflash through the SP FlashTool computer utility
You can flash smartphones with MTK processors, including Lenovo, using the SP FlashTool program. Its advantage is an accessible interface and support for almost all current phone models. Before reflashing a mobile phone through a computer, you need to download one of the two versions of the program, FlashTool 3 or 5. Their difference is not only in the updated interface design, but also in compatibility with a certain type of phones. 3rd version better fit for older models, and the 5th for newer ones.
Firmware via computer utility

You also need to download a zip archive with firmware to your PC. After that, you can proceed directly to installing it on your phone, for this:
- Download and install the required drivers on your PC. Note that you need special firmware drivers for the SP FlashTool program, and not those that come standard when connecting a mobile phone to a computer. You can find them on the same thematic forums and sites with firmware.
- Download the SP FlashTool program from the official website and install it on your PC.
- In the program window, click on Scatter-loading and select the scatter file, which is located with all the firmware files.
