How to flash Lenovo A5000. Updating to Android 11, 10, Pie 9, Oreo 8.1

Updating the main software of a smartphone (OS) is a responsible task and requires a very serious approach from the user. If you are not confident in your own abilities, and you feel a “treacherous” trembling in your hands, then you should not even start. However, the Lenovo A5000 firmware is updated in the simplest way, and therefore even a beginner will be able to install a new version of Android OS on their device. Of course, if you carefully read the material in the presented article and then strictly follow the recommendations and instructions below.

Do I need to update the firmware and waste time?

The main point of updates is to eradicate bugs, problems and shortcomings, of which there are plenty in the Android operating system:

• For example, system applications freeze or crash.
• Problem with one of the camera modes.
• The smartphone does not turn on at all.
• The smartphone goes into an endless reboot.
• When you turn on Wi-Fi, the battery runs out within a couple of hours - a problem with energy consumption.
• There can be a lot of glitches; there are times when the phone itself starts calling the first number in the phone book. Hardly anyone is happy with this behavior.

However, there are those who simply want to install everything new in order to get new functions and capabilities, so to speak, to start changing something in their life from a small point of view.

Preparatory stage

Despite the fact that each subsequent firmware version brings a lot of new functions, after the update some smartphones are unstable. This happens when the user ignores the preparation step.

Before installing updates on the Lenovo A5000, you need to meet 2 basic requirements:

• charge your smartphone at least 30%;
• perform a factory reset.

And if everything is clear with the first point, then the second raises many questions for some people. Resetting to factory settings completely deletes files from the smartphone's memory. This allows you to avoid errors when installing updates.

Of course, no one wants to lose personal data, so before resetting you need to create a backup:

1. Open settings.
2. Go to the "Storage and Backups" section.
3. Click on the Google Drive heading.

4. Activate the backup.

Performing these steps will result in the backup file being uploaded to cloud storage. After updating Android, it can be restored.

If there is not enough space on Google Drive to save all the data, it is recommended to create a backup copy through the “Backup and Restore” item. The resulting file should be moved to another device (for example, a computer) during the flashing process, and after the process is completed, return it back to the phone’s memory.

If the backup has been successfully created, you can safely proceed to restoring the phone to factory settings:

1. Launch device settings.
2. Go to the "Backup and Reset" section.
3. Select “Reset settings”.

4. Click the Reset Phone button.
5. Confirm the operation.

Now you need to reboot your smartphone, and then proceed directly to the process of installing new firmware.
