Lenovo K3 Note- Stuck At Recovery After Trying To Flash Stock

Please help
My device: Lenovo k3 note Indian k50a40.
Few days ago in my phone lenovo k3 note i found some manufacturer defect so I decided to visit lenovo gallery.
My phone was rooted and installed custom recovery( TWRP).So i tried to flash stock rom with sp flash tool but nothing happened.
Then i just tried to flash stock recovery through fastboot but this time it failed(remote:download partition "recovery" not allowed).
So i flashed stock recovery.img with 'flashify' app n it succeeded. Now i got stock lenovo recovery but ota updates are still not installing.
After solving my manufacturer defect i again tried to install custom recovery through fastboot,
so i can install custom roms coz the stock rom is not so good,but it still showing the same problem(remote:download partition "recovery" not allowed). My phone is on I have my os but unable to flash anything
Now i don't have any idea about that. I think there is something with my bootloader but i didn't find any solution in my research,I don't have enough knowledge about android development,
so I'm posting this thread for help. Thank you
problem solved

Unfortunately, flashed wrong / corrupted FTF file. Phone rebooting after showing several errors in Italian language. Trying to repair with Xperia Companion.
In the process of flashing it has asked to use "Default SFC file" or somthing, I clicked "No". What is that file? can anyone explain me?

Make sure drivers are installed properly.
After doing the sptool thing connect your phone.
Its normal it vibrates for few seconds let it be.it will automatically establish connection.
To flash recovery you need to unlock bootloader

It is supposed to work. Never mind. Did you try other supersu.zip files? Coz sometimes these packages may also be corrupt.
In case if you are not successful try this tool called lenovo k3 note manager..

i got latest twrp 3.1.1 and superSU 2.82... let me try 1st,
DONE ROOTED S433 (solved dead A7000-a)
https://forum.xda-developers.com/k3-note/general/complete-tutorial-how-to-flash-k50-t5-t3360181.
i follow this step by step procedure, now im on k50a40 s433 ROOTED and i can put back my NVRAM. Just want to share whoever got problem flashing s433 on A7000-a, make sure download correct file on the thread and carefully read the instruction. If your platform are marshmallow, do flash boot image via twrp (flash image, not flash zip). My step from dead A7000-a to K50a40 :-
1. Use SP Flash (v5.1540.00.000) to flash K50a40_S422_160315_ROW( https://cloud.mail.ru/public/C9th/nvAqozUua )
2. Follow this step ( https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=66229157&postcount=4187 )
When the procedure done/finish( OK GREEN TICK ). Turn on ypur device normally, put this file on SD Card ( https://cloud.mail.ru/public/CNTk/6..._ROW_TO_K50a40_S424_160328_ROW_WC655382B6.zip ) to update s422 to s424 or do it OTA.
Now you should get K50a440 s424 on your device.
Done all this step...... will have notification to update s424 to s427... then s427 to s433, all this i done through OTA( or you can search for update.zip and put in SD )
TO ROOTED s433
1. Follow this step ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/k3-...3-note-k50-t3158522/post66156802#post66156802 ), make sure all necessary file are downloaded and place on SD Card( read carefully the step )
After you done all the procedure, check rooted using root checker apk ( google play free )
BIG THANK YOU to :-
