    • Hi, maybe the connection is not work perfectly so it can not fully download. Usually it can download first the firmware and after that your Lenovo A5500 will reinstall it. You can try to hard reset first to clean up everything include installed applications that can make trouble while doing OTA upgrade, but doing hard reset will remove any important files, so do not forget to backup all files from your Lenovo A5500 either to microSD card or connect your phone to USB port using USB data cable. If you still can not upgrade the firmware using OTA, then we suggest you ask help from Lenovo authorize service center to help you upgrade with latest firmware at your Lenovo A5500.

  6. Hi everyone,

    My Lenovo A5500 Tablet got stuck in a boot loop.

    1. Hard reset by pinning the reset button turns the device down and no luck afterwards.

    2.
    I pressed POWER and VOLUME UP.

    A list of 3 options appeared as follows:
    [Recovery Mode]
    [Fastboot Mode]
    [Normal Boot]

    Then I selected Recovery Mode.
    Now comes the hard part:

    After the NO COMMAND window appears, I don’t know how to get the list of options (reset, reset from SD, etc).

    Which is the combination to open and keep the commands list open?

    Thanks
