basically i followed the step from CM11 dev tread to flash CyanFox 2 rom and it work fine.
from the last stable version of slim bean; in recovery mode i ran
- wipe data / factory reset
- wipe cache
- wipe system (format system)
- install CyanFox 2
- install 4.4 gapps
- wipe cache
- wipe dalvik
- reboot
by the way... (forgot to mention in previous post)
there are few flaws on apps that i frequently used such facebook (superb lag and cause heat) and instagram (can't use latest version).
for facebook i use Fast for Facebook and for instagram i used version 3.4.0
for launcher i used smart launcher because it is light-weight and it can auto categories the apps (kudos for that).
a few hiccups here and there (not much to expect from alpha version CM11 because still in development; lockscreen most probably when i see a little lag) but it is a miracle it is working and much more stable and smooth than the previous version of android that i used.
:good: to mr lolation :victory: to mr dhiru

Made this firmware ok. Looks ok but couldn't reach my SD card. All applications shows 0.0 Gb (tryed embended and ES explorer)
sorry...

Dear Lolation,
If possible please give a small share of meat to this cute foxy.
Its starving.....for a long time...
Regards.

FAQ
Q: I have 2012 or 2013 model?
A:
Download root explorer
Go to system/lib/modules
See if the properties of wlan.ko file, after the date and permissions, are -> wlan_mt6628.ko
If yes you have the 2013 version, if is -> wlan_mt6620 you have the 2012 version
HOW TO
Improve GPS antenna - Difficulty: MEDIUM - guide by Robsup79 - ideas from Frandroid Forum
Scratch tint to the left of the flash of about 8x3 mm
Cut 2mm of copper with a cutter as show, this operation unwire the original antenna from the connector
Isolate with electrical tape to avoid interference, leaving 3x3mm copper contact
Put the new antenna, secure it with a small piece of tape on the bottom to ensure the contact
If you have curved smoothly, the installation of the cover will press to ensure good contact

Good work...but my wi-fi and bluetooth no work ?!

Probably you have the b92m 2013 version, i think it's a baseband or a kernel problem. I need a full stock ROM dump for the 2013 version then i can try to solve this problem
Sent from my B92M using xda

Rom for 2013 READY!!!! SEE LINKS!!!!

Hi!
Can you please give a bit more details about the 2.5GB internal memory option?
Does all B92m can have that 2.5GB?
Mine does with the ROM that I am using actually. So what should I do if I wan't to keep it when moving on your ROM?
Some help would be useful since I don'T understand much about the other post.
Thanks!!!

The 2.5gb option expand the internal memory storage to 2.5gb, that's all You can install the rom and and after apply the option if you want, remember that if you do this you have to wipe data, that means factory reset.

Hi,
I have tested to install your rom (2012) but I have B92M with 512Mb ram and the phone don't boot.
I view all animation started but I have also a "Low Memory" and the phone reboot at this moment.

Buy year? 2012 or 2013? And the phone was presented as "NEW B92M" or "B92M" ?
Yes first you have to flash the TWRP recovery in your phone, after reboot in recovery and do the upgrade (wipe data/cache/dalvik first)

Hello,for me this rom it's to be the best,and i want to say thank you to Simonkjam :fingers-crossed: !!!
I've resolved all the problems about the software and,finally,all the problems about the gps (all settings are perfect without having to change nothing) together with this guide:
1/scratch tint to the left of the flash of about 8x3 mm
3/isolate with electrical tape to avoid interference, leaving 3x3mm copper contact
4/put the new antenna, secure it with a small piece of tape on the bottom to ensure the contact
If you have curved smoothly, the installation of the cover will press to ensure good contact
P.S. Sorry for my "English"

somehow I bought the phone in mid-January, has 1GB RAM, 2.5 rom. that is, unless it's the new.
in the description it said "* NEU * EZIO S92 4.7-inch 1GB-RAM ANDROID 4.0 GPS 12.0MP HD ..." .....
I downloaded the recovery.img file from the link TWRP Recovery.
swapped it with the original file contained in the ROM.
'll copy the rom to your phone
Now you only need to start the recovery mode and do the upgrade?

sorry for that. but I have to be sure:
1 replace the file recovery.img in the original ROM
2 lose rom zip file to your phone
3 fire recovery mode
4 do first wipe all or after installation
5 Reboot your phone and it should work all right?

I have installed it on my 2012 and so far so good. Good performance. No bug in the display as I have experiment with other ROMs. I think you should give your reference about the Antena though... This comes from Frandroid right?
I would like to get the 2.5 GB internal space. So, How could I do that? Could you please give a short list of the steps?
Thanks a lot! I'll get back in a few days when I would have tested it a bit more!

That was a little bug, now is fixed with the new release

Hi AnonFBI,
I have an FNF Ifive x2 unit with defective USB port. But I have Kasty 1.1.5 on it and working CWM installed. Is it possible to install the latest build of your ROM and gapps directly from the sd card without using the flasher tool?

Hi, yes should work but please make sure you can make a backup and restore with CWM because and avoid a software brick.
If you have performance issues i think is because you are in old kernel.img, if you ask me i can help you to make a patch to flash.
Read the installation section with upgrading steps!

Ok, so these are the steps I should follow:
1: BACKUP
2: Flash your ROM and Google Apps(regarding the installation section)
3: Test it
4: Flash new kernel if it's slow
I'm think I'm OK with the first 3 steps. But for kernel flashing I will need your help. So far I only flashed kernel.zip files files onto my devices (Motorola Defy, LG P880), I don't know how to flash .img files.

Anon,
I need help, I flashed the 11.30 ROM then I stucked in bootloop (CM 10.1 logo rotating, then reboot). I did the format as you described and I wiped cache and dalvik. Now I managed to start in CWM Recovery (needs tricks with the buttons, since time interval is very short). Do you have idea what to do next?

No, I did the "upgrading" steps since I had working CWM already.
Upgrading:
1. Wipe cache
2. Advanced > Wipe dalvik cache
3. Mounts and storage > Format /system (this step is very important)
4. Install from internal or external SD card:
- latest CM10.1 .zip build
- GApps
5. Reboot to system
6. Enjoy!
Ok, I start it again this time I flash nand fix before CM 10.1.
I tell you if it works.

The situation is changed a bit. Now it reboots immediately after the "Android is upgrading" and "Starting Apps" steps.
What does this NandFix do? It should flashed AFTER or BEFORE the CM 10.1 zip?

Lenovo A5000 (Recovery, Root, ROMs, etc.) [REFERENCE/ARCHIVE]

THIS THREAD IS A REVAMP AND ARCHIVE OF THE All about Lenovo A5000 [Root,Recovery,Roms,....etc] THREAD FOR REFERENCE PURPOSES. THERE ARE NO GUARANTEES OF UPDATES.
WELCOME!
IMPORTANT: DISCLAIMER: Some actions will void your warranty so read fully before beginning the tutorials. The author take no responsibility for the outcome of your computer nor phone for following any instructions in this post.
Feel free to ask a question IF you can't find your answer in this post.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
BACKUP
FIRST, you're going to need to BACKUP your device FULLY - no ifs, no buts, because it saves everyone the headache.
Tutorials here, there, and everywhere for that. https://pinoyscreencast.net/others/get-stock-rom-romdump-mediatek-mt6582-via-mtk-droid-root-tools/
Or just Google or YouTube "backup rom mt6582". Try not to go the method that asks you to remove your battery because: 1) that's usually not for phones like A5000, 2) there are other methods available. Get familiar with the process and comfortable with it. Note all the common things across the tutorials.
You have to flash a recovery (e.g. TWRP), then root, then you can do whatever you want.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
RECOVERY
Instructions For Installing Recovery via SP Flash Tool
This tutorial assumes you are on KitKat (KK) 4.4.2. If you are on Lollipop (LP) then follow the tutorial How To Rollback To KitKat.
Download SP Flash Tool (video tutorial on that page on how to install the driver too, which is a must).
Download TWRP v3.0.0.0 (A5000_TWRP_3.0.0.0.zip) from the link below and extract it (to A5000_TWRP_3.0.0.0). Now you can start.
IMPORTANT: You might lose your IMEI (both of them), your BT (Bluetooth) Address, your WLAN (Wi-Fi) Address, and your Serial No. (SN), so please note all of them down. You can find them through MTK Droid Tools or looking them up in [Settings] > [About phone] section, though this way doesn't show you everything.
Do not connect your phone to the computer until you are told to do so and please don't start this tutorial with low battery
Download SP Flash Tool for Windows or Linux (I have not tried the Linux version yet so I don't know how much different the Linux version will be)
Extract SP_Flash_Tool_v5.1628_Win.zip (to SP_Flash_Tool_v5.1628_Win)
In that folder open SP Flash Tool (flash_tool.exe - preferably right-click [Run as administrator])
On the Download tab, click [Scatter-loading] to load the scatter file (MT6582_Android_scatter.txt) which is located in A5000_TWRP_3.0.0.0
"Wait" for checksum to complete (about half a second...)
Under that make sure [Download Only] is selected from the drop-down menu and not [Format All + Download] nor [Firmware Upgrade]
Make sure your phone is turned off
Make sure Recovery is the ONLY THING TICKED
Click the [Download] button (big green arrow button at the top)
FROM HERE ON FORTH YOUR WARRANTY IS VOID (that is if you don't ever roll back to your stock backup that you made)
Without turning your phone on, connect it to the computer
It will start flashing the Recovery tool to your phone and when it is done a check mark will appear, click OK
Disconnect the phone from the computer. Done.
Downloads For Recovery

ROOT
Instructions For Installing Root
For a simple method, you can use KingRoot, however this may not work for everyone and flashing SuperSU is recommended instead.
On the TWRP menu, tap [Install] and then select your root tool (e.g. recovery flashable SuperSU linked below) file that you transferred to your memory card (recommended), internal storage, or USB OTG, and install it
When it's done, Wipe Cache and Dalvik Cache, NOTHING ELSE
Tap Reboot System and you're done.
NOTE: Your phone will stay on the Lenovo logo for 10-15 minutes on your FIRST boot up, so don't panic.

TUTORIALS
How To Rollback To KitKat From Lollipop
IMPORTANT: You might lose your IMEI (both of them), your BT (Bluetooth) Address, your WLAN (Wi-Fi) Address, and your Serial No. (SN), so please note all of them down. You can find them through MTK Droid Tools or looking them up in [Settings] > [About phone] section, though this way doesn't show you everything.
On the Download tab, click [Scatter-loading] to load the scatter file (MT6582_Android_scatter.txt) which it located in the folder of wherever you extracted your custom ROM to
"Wait" for checksum to complete (about half a second...)
Under that make sure [Firmware Upgrade] is selected from the drop-down menu and NOT [Download Only] nor [Format All + Download]
Make sure your phone is turned off
Make sure EVERYTHING IS TICKED
Click the [Download] button (big green arrow button at the top)
FROM HERE ON FORTH YOUR WARRANTY IS VOID (that is if you rolled back to someone else's dump of KK 4.4.2 and not your original backup of KK 4.4.2 that you made, IF you made one)
Without turning your phone on, connect it to the computer
It will start flashing the firmware to your phone and when it is done a check mark will appear, click OK
Disconnect the phone from the computer and boot up to check if it worked
How To Flash A Zip Or Img File via Recovery (e.g. ROM, G-Apps, Patch, Kernel, etc.)
IMPORTANT: You must be on kernel 3.4.67 to flash 3.4.67 kernel based ROMs, or on kernel 3.10.54 to flash 3.10.54 kernel based ROMs.
IMPORTANT: You might lose your IMEIs, your BT (Bluetooth) Address, your WLAN (Wi-Fi) Address, and your Serial No. (SN), so please note all of them down. You can find them through MTK Droid Tools or looking them up in [Settings] > [About phone] section, though this way doesn't show you everything.
Backup your entire ROM
If flashing a ROM, wipe the standard (Data, Cache, and Dalvik Cache in the [Wipe] menu (you WILL lose your Data (apps & stuff) so you BETTER have backed that up too)
On the TWRP menu, tap [Install] and then select your .zip or .img file that you transferred to your memory card (recommended), internal storage, or USB drive via OTG, and install it
When it's done, Wipe Cache and Dalvik Cache ONLY, then tap Reboot
Order of flashing queue: ROM > G-Apps > Patches
NOTE: Your phone will stay on the Lenovo logo for 5, 10, or even 15 minutes on your FIRST boot up, so don't panic.
How To Restore IMEI
Download MTK Droid Tools v2.5.3
When opening, make sure you extract it to a new folder, else you will have clutter everywhere
Connect phone, click ROOT (necessary) in bottom right, click Yes, and on the phone grant the permission
Now you can click "IMEI/NVRAM" button and enter them, click "Replace IMEI", when done click OK, click Reboot, and click Normal
Afterwards, reboot into recovery and backup NVRAM - this contains your IMEI
NOTE: If you could not click the "IMEI/NVRAM" button, root the phone first then retry the tutorial
How To Boot Into Recovery
Whilst the phone is turned off/first time after flashing recovery:
The method is actually a bit temperamental: Simultaneously press & hold both volume buttons and then press & hold the power button also (so you're now holding 3 buttons) and hold them until it vibrates AND the Lenovo logo comes onto the screen, then only let go of the power button; once you see the TWRP logo you can let go of the volume buttons
The first screen will ask you if you to confirm that you want to modify with your phone, swipe to confirm... this will not allow the phone to restore the original Lenovo Recovery
Now you're ready to flash Root tools, custom ROMs, patches, etc. that you downloaded
Whilst the phone is turned on:
Open the power menu
Tap Reboot, then immediately hold Vol+ & Vol- buttons and don't let go till it reboots and takes you to recovery menu

FREQUENTLY ANSWERED QUESTIONS
I flashed ... ROM and now it's not booting past the Lenovo logo, what do I do?
There's a thing called the kernel which talks with the phone's hardware. The Lenovo A5000 has two kernel versions 3.4.67 and 3.10.54. ROMs made for a certain kernel will not work on other kernel version. You either have to upgrade to Lollipop (3.10.54) or downgrade to KitKat (3.4.67).
I'm trying to flash this ... ROM but I'm getting "Error 7", what do I do?
DON'T wipe everything before flashing a custom ROM. Just do a normal factory reset i.e. clear Data, Dalvik Cache, and Cache.
Should the [email protected] kernel be flashed again after flashing a custom ROM?
If you downgraded to stock KitKat (S030) and are experiencing touch lag, then go ahead and flash it.
The kernel is already embedded in the custom ROMs shared here (exept for AICP 11), so why should you flash it again?
Some bugs like the camera bug embed itself into the Cache and a quick reflash of the kernel via recovery can temporarily fix the problem.
Can the modified boot.img of other ROMs be used for porting other ROMs?
The answer is mostly yes. Some AOSP ROMs (e.g. Validus) may have different ramdisk files, so you may get a bootloop. If you're trying to port a Cyanogen based ROM (e.g. Cyanogen..., Resurrection Remix, Temasek, etc.) you won't be getting this problem.
Which ROM and which version of it is the best?
A very subjective question so I can't answer it completely. Most users here use RR 5.7.4 or 5.5.9, CM 13 or 12.1, MiUI 8 or MiUI 7, etc. You'll have to try and choose for yourself.
Anyone working on Android 7?
Eek sounds like work. There's already an Nougat build for our device with kernel v3.10.54.
RIL is unstable and so is video decoding so wait for a stable build.
I flashed this ... ROM and now I'm getting boot animation in loop?
Use TWRP 3.x.x.x. Stay away from other TWRP versions like 2.8.x.x, 2.8.5.x, etc.
Is OTG working?
Our device started getting OTG from the S029 update onwards officially.
OTG is accessible via ES File Explorer in custom ROMS as well.

TipsyOS
Features
I successfully ported TipsyOS today. Seems that all works properly. Camera, Data, and Wi-Fi works. Bluetooth must be flashed separately. The ROM indeed looks like it's better than BrokenOS. See the screenshots I just made.
The ROM is stable, fast, and smooth, and seems to be better than BrokenOS. It has an amazing battery backup and awesome RAM management.
Bugs:
GPS partially working
VPN not working

Validus 6.0.1
Features
Performance wise the best I've used. Choose Nova Launcher on bootup it supports CyanogenMod Theme Engine (CMTE). This is the only ROM here that supports Cyanogen Theme Engine but has AOSP RAM management. Also has decent amount of customisation including headers.
Drawbacks:
1) Music player isn't sleek but ViPER4Android FX make up for it (you can always go for 3rd party)
2) No stock file explorer, so you have to download one from Google Play to get you started
Use SuperSU and G-Apps for Android 6

The answer to your question is in the first answer of the FAQs section. Please read the post as it states at the very beginning.
Marshmallow ROMs (nearly all) are based on kernel 3.4.67. Flash kernel 3.4.67 ROMs over kernel 3.4.67 ROMs and flash kernel 3.10.54 ROMs over kernel 3.10.54 ROMs.
99% you will have to downgrade to a KItKat ROM first (e.g stock S030) because KitKat ROMs are based on kernel 3.4.67, or you will get a brick (boot loop). If you don't downgrade you have a 1% chance of success, but do as you wish. No one here is liable.
Also, all tutorials to do everything needed are in the first post under the Tutorials section. Please read, thank you.

Its tested by Me You can Flash it directly even your current ROM is Kitkat/Lollipop/Marshmallow/Nougat .....But The Thing is Format Dalvik,Cache,System,Internal Storage then Restart Your Recovery After Formatting Then Install Your Desired ROM <3

Understood, but this requires backing up Data everytime and also wiping the System partition is generally not recommended because ROMs are built differently and could cause a boot loop.

Long story short,my class got supended for the week cuz a friend broke another's head because of trolling in Facebook and whatsapp. So new roms ......maybe

News to me.how did you get the 3.4 kernel to work over 3.10 version? Maybe some misunderstanding? So you were in stock lollipop with 3.10.54 kernel and you flashed roms with 3.4.67 kernel and booted successfully?
P.S I'm aware you can flash over different Android versions and I've done it many times for testing bugs
But never over different kernel version.
@7awliet I forgot to add andreidi in credits.my bad but he came pretty late:angel:

One Time It got me A Bootloop is on Marshmallow/Nougat Roms built in 3.10.103 kernel...but it got fix when I installed the V3.0.3 of TWRP....But I still recommend to install stock firmware before flashing any 3.4.67 built ROM because sometimes it may cause bootloops and swipe lags.

BACKUP
FIRST, you're going to need to BACKUP your device FULLY - no ifs, no buts, because it saves everyone the headache.
Tutorials here, there, and everywhere for that. https://pinoyscreencast.net/others/get-stock-rom-romdump-mediatek-mt6582-via-mtk-droid-root-tools/
Or just Google or YouTube "backup rom mt6582". Try not to go the method that asks you to remove your battery because: 1) that's usually not for phones like A5000, 2) there are other methods available. Get familiar with the process and comfortable with it. Note all the common things across the tutorials.
You have to flash a recovery (e.g. TWRP), then root, then you can do whatever you want.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
RECOVERY
Instructions For Installing Recovery via SP Flash Tool
This tutorial assumes you are on KitKat (KK) 4.4.2. If you are on Lollipop (LP) then follow the tutorial How To Rollback To KitKat.
Download SP Flash Tool (video tutorial on that page on how to install the driver too, which is a must).
Download TWRP v3.0.0.0 (A5000_TWRP_3.0.0.0.zip) from the link below and extract it (to A5000_TWRP_3.0.0.0). Now you can start.
IMPORTANT: You might lose your IMEI (both of them), your BT (Bluetooth) Address, your WLAN (Wi-Fi) Address, and your Serial No. (SN), so please note all of them down. You can find them through MTK Droid Tools or looking them up in [Settings] > [About phone] section, though this way doesn't show you everything.
Do not connect your phone to the computer until you are told to do so and please don't start this tutorial with low battery
Download SP Flash Tool for Windows or Linux (I have not tried the Linux version yet so I don't know how much different the Linux version will be)
Extract SP_Flash_Tool_v5.1628_Win.zip (to SP_Flash_Tool_v5.1628_Win)
In that folder open SP Flash Tool (flash_tool.exe - preferably right-click [Run as administrator])
On the Download tab, click [Scatter-loading] to load the scatter file (MT6582_Android_scatter.txt) which is located in A5000_TWRP_3.0.0.0
"Wait" for checksum to complete (about half a second...)
Under that make sure [Download Only] is selected from the drop-down menu and not [Format All + Download] nor [Firmware Upgrade]
Make sure your phone is turned off
Make sure Recovery is the ONLY THING TICKED
Click the [Download] button (big green arrow button at the top)
FROM HERE ON FORTH YOUR WARRANTY IS VOID (that is if you don't ever roll back to your stock backup that you made)
Without turning your phone on, connect it to the computer
It will start flashing the Recovery tool to your phone and when it is done a check mark will appear, click OK
Disconnect the phone from the computer. Done.

ROOT
Instructions For Installing Root
For a simple method, you can use KingRoot, however this may not work for everyone and flashing SuperSU is recommended instead.
On the TWRP menu, tap [Install] and then select your root tool (e.g. recovery flashable SuperSU linked below) file that you transferred to your memory card (recommended), internal storage, or USB OTG, and install it
When it's done, Wipe Cache and Dalvik Cache, NOTHING ELSE
Tap Reboot System and you're done.
NOTE: Your phone will stay on the Lenovo logo for 10-15 minutes on your FIRST boot up, so don't panic.

TUTORIALS
How To Rollback To KitKat From Lollipop
IMPORTANT: You might lose your IMEI (both of them), your BT (Bluetooth) Address, your WLAN (Wi-Fi) Address, and your Serial No. (SN), so please note all of them down. You can find them through MTK Droid Tools or looking them up in [Settings] > [About phone] section, though this way doesn't show you everything.
On the Download tab, click [Scatter-loading] to load the scatter file (MT6582_Android_scatter.txt) which it located in the folder of wherever you extracted your custom ROM to
"Wait" for checksum to complete (about half a second...)
Under that make sure [Firmware Upgrade] is selected from the drop-down menu and NOT [Download Only] nor [Format All + Download]
Make sure your phone is turned off
Make sure EVERYTHING IS TICKED
Click the [Download] button (big green arrow button at the top)
FROM HERE ON FORTH YOUR WARRANTY IS VOID (that is if you rolled back to someone else's dump of KK 4.4.2 and not your original backup of KK 4.4.2 that you made, IF you made one)
Without turning your phone on, connect it to the computer
It will start flashing the firmware to your phone and when it is done a check mark will appear, click OK
Disconnect the phone from the computer and boot up to check if it worked
How To Flash A Zip Or Img File via Recovery (e.g. ROM, G-Apps, Patch, Kernel, etc.)
IMPORTANT: You must be on kernel 3.4.67 to flash 3.4.67 kernel based ROMs, or on kernel 3.10.54 to flash 3.10.54 kernel based ROMs.
IMPORTANT: You might lose your IMEIs, your BT (Bluetooth) Address, your WLAN (Wi-Fi) Address, and your Serial No. (SN), so please note all of them down. You can find them through MTK Droid Tools or looking them up in [Settings] > [About phone] section, though this way doesn't show you everything.Backup your entire ROM
If flashing a ROM, wipe the standard (Data, Cache, and Dalvik Cache in the [Wipe] menu (you WILL lose your Data (apps & stuff) so you BETTER have backed that up too)
On the TWRP menu, tap [Install] and then select your .zip or .img file that you transferred to your memory card (recommended), internal storage, or USB drive via OTG, and install it
When it's done, Wipe Cache and Dalvik Cache ONLY, then tap Reboot
Order of flashing queue: ROM > G-Apps > Patches
NOTE: Your phone will stay on the Lenovo logo for 5, 10, or even 15 minutes on your FIRST boot up, so don't panic.
How To Restore IMEI
Download MTK Droid Tools v2.5.3
When opening, make sure you extract it to a new folder, else you will have clutter everywhere
Connect phone, click ROOT (necessary) in bottom right, click Yes, and on the phone grant the permission
Now you can click "IMEI/NVRAM" button and enter them, click "Replace IMEI", when done click OK, click Reboot, and click Normal
Afterwards, reboot into recovery and backup NVRAM - this contains your IMEI
NOTE: If you could not click the "IMEI/NVRAM" button, root the phone first then retry the tutorial
How To Boot Into Recovery
Whilst the phone is turned off/first time after flashing recovery:The method is actually a bit temperamental: Simultaneously press & hold both volume buttons and then press & hold the power button also (so you're now holding 3 buttons) and hold them until it vibrates AND the Lenovo logo comes onto the screen, then only let go of the power button; once you see the TWRP logo you can let go of the volume buttons
The first screen will ask you if you to confirm that you want to modify with your phone, swipe to confirm... this will not allow the phone to restore the original Lenovo Recovery
Now you're ready to flash Root tools, custom ROMs, patches, etc. that you downloaded
Whilst the phone is turned on:
Open the power menu
Tap Reboot, then immediately hold Vol+ & Vol- buttons and don't let go till it reboots and takes you to recovery menu

FREQUENTLY ANSWERED QUESTIONS
I flashed ... ROM and now it's not booting past the Lenovo logo, what do I do?
There's a thing called the kernel which talks with the phone's hardware. The Lenovo A5000 has two kernel versions 3.4.67 and 3.10.54. ROMs made for a certain kernel will not work on other kernel version. You either have to upgrade to Lollipop (3.10.54) or downgrade to KitKat (3.4.67).
I'm trying to flash this ... ROM but I'm getting "Error 7", what do I do?
DON'T wipe everything before flashing a custom ROM. Just do a normal factory reset i.e. clear Data, Dalvik Cache, and Cache.
Should the [email protected] kernel be flashed again after flashing a custom ROM?
If you downgraded to stock KitKat (S030) and are experiencing touch lag, then go ahead and flash it.
The kernel is already embedded in the custom ROMs shared here (exept for AICP 11), so why should you flash it again?
Some bugs like the camera bug embed itself into the Cache and a quick reflash of the kernel via recovery can temporarily fix the problem.
Can the modified boot.img of other ROMs be used for porting other ROMs?
The answer is mostly yes. Some AOSP ROMs (e.g. Validus) may have different ramdisk files, so you may get a bootloop. If you're trying to port a Cyanogen based ROM (e.g. Cyanogen..., Resurrection Remix, Temasek, etc.) you won't be getting this problem.
Which ROM and which version of it is the best?
A very subjective question so I can't answer it completely. Most users here use RR 5.7.4 or 5.5.9, CM 13 or 12.1, MiUI 8 or MiUI 7, etc. You'll have to try and choose for yourself.
Anyone working on Android 7?
Eek sounds like work. There's already an Nougat build for our device with kernel v3.10.54.
RIL is unstable and so is video decoding so wait for a stable build.
I flashed this ... ROM and now I'm getting boot animation in loop?
Use TWRP 3.x.x.x or TWRP 2.8.7.0. Stay away from other TWRP versions like 2.8.1.x, 2.8.5.x, etc.
Is OTG working?
Our device started getting OTG from the S029 update onwards officially.
OTG is accessible via ES File Explorer in custom ROMS as well.

Possibly to update launcher via play store

Now I work with first alpha of 7.1.1 , and in future I publish nougat for this device .

Yes , but after wipe .
v8 have few problems , but v6 if you install have problem with file explorer and this is not keyboard version .

resolve for problem with 8.4 : download older 8.2 wipe system , restore 8.2 system

OK , now system be work correct . Write me here about working your actual android after restore . I test this OS (8.4) , and I find this bug , after update , but now I create patch for this OS and patch for kernel . In this moment I re-pack kernel after add patch for play store , now I back to continuation HALF-STOCK OS (read CLEAN OS) .

Soo , if you have stock rom wipe system , data , cache , dalvik and internal memory .
If you have my CLEAN OS , for update you wipe only system , after wipe you restore new image in recovery .
Now I add volte to rom , but volte is not tested !!
All working , but I now testing rom and apps .
System back from AOSP apps to stock , and now all is ok .
Update google play broke play store and play store stop , now in kernel and in OS I add patch and any apps can't crash , update 8.5 is stable , and final . In future I planing add some addons from nougat , and to do copy of nougat in marshmallow I'm know after all this is always marshmallow , but I prefer finish stabilizing 7.x.x to E5 and publish it as AOSP nougat actual marshmallow must be similar to next android because users must have change ... marshmallow or original nougat (the same apps and features , but other os) . Now 7.x.x is unstable and I can't publish this os here .

storage it stop because , I delete app from this . Why ???? Because This process spy android users , and always active ,,like a battery,, , and is delete for longer live battery . If user use my tweaks in central post for optimization android , battery will be live longer little .
7.1.1 is in alpha status very unstable , I cant publish system with 7.1.1 .
Now I prefer make deodex actual marshmallow .

Awesome work man! If you could just change the launcher,something stock.Keep up the good work!
