  2. Install lk2nd. Although Lenovo already provides a Fastboot interface, lk2nd contains various quirks for booting mainline.
    • use fastboot flash:raw boot lk2nd-msm8916.img
  3. Follow Qualcomm_Snapdragon_410/412_(MSM8916)#Installation.

Battery

Lenovo A6010 uses VM-BMS to measure battery status and FAN54015 charger. Battery status works. It is inaccurate, but you will know when you need to reboot into recovery and charge the device. Charging is not supported yet.

Mobile data

The default mode is 2G only, you will probably want to change it (Phosh Settings > Mobile Network > Network Mode). You will also have to set up APN (Phosh Settings > Mobile Network > Access Point Names).

USB OTG

Works with external power.
