Samsung galaxy star can be rooted easily with cydia impactor. Google "Cydia Impactor" and download(8 MB- wndows) the compatible version on your desktop.
Now install adb drivers, along with your phone drivers(don't need to do this if you use kies, it installs the drivers automatically)
Now enable USB Debugging from Developer options. connect your phone to your computer. Start impactor and select "# drop SuperSU su to /system/xbin/su" though the option is default if you don't find it select it from the drop down menu and click start.
It'll install the binaries into the "/system/xbin/su" folder.
Now go to play store and download a superuser app "supersuser" or "super su" this helps in managing the root permissions given to apps and update your su binary.
Done!
You have successfully rooted your phone, Enjoy.

It says 'signature bugs are unavailable'.

I'm not sure whether or not Framaroot is effective. But I am sure that a good way to root a device is to unlock your bootloader and use ODIN. There are various instructions on how to install it on different devices.
Just got mine too. Love this phone! I can get 24 hours of usage in one full charge! Unfortunately still no tutorials on rooting this device
yes ! still waiting for the root tools ...
This site says it's just done via app? Not sure how legit this is. http://www.how-to-root.club/2015/04/lenovo-a5000-7167.html

Hi, now i've root my device Lenovo A5000.
I've used this tool with my pc. Success 100%.

use the pc to root your device!
after root success, use CH Play to install SupperSU
Good luck!
sucesfull root
Today managed to sucesfully root the phone so no more ads or camera shutter sounds.
You need to use kingroot apk (framaroot didn't worked). I know, it is chinese stuff filled with all sort of additional apps that are installed during rooting process but you have to bear with them for a few minutes.
I downloaded it from here: arykblog.info/2015/04/how-to-root-lenovo-a5000.___html (remove the ___ from link)
After installing the kingroot app and rooting the phone with it, I followed this tutorial
w0lfdroid.com/2015/05/How-to-Remove-Replace-KingUser-KingRoot-with-SuperSU.___html (remove the ___ from link)
you have to extract the Replace_Kingroot_With_SuperSU.zip into your "\sdcard" folder (when browsing phone in windows explorer, you are by default in \sdcard folder)
It will look like this \sdcard\mrw\root.sh
Use the mentioned console app on your android
First start root shell by calling "su"
Then you have to make system read-write, by calling "mount -o remount,rw /system"
Then enter that mrw folder "cd \sdcard\mrw" and run "sh root.sh"
After a few seconds it should start SuperUser app and it will prompt you to replace binaries, use the "normal" way.
After success, reboot the phone and SuperSU should be still working and no kingroot app present.
(reboot also restores mount status of system folder)
PS: make sure you do not have installed the SuperUser app before using this process
PSS: make sure you place the mrw folder is in correct directory and that you succeed in one run, or you have to repeat it again from installing kingroot
Important note: DO NOT INSTALL FIRMWARE UPDATE WITH ROOT. You will brick the phone, tested :crying:
If you brick the phone, you have to flash official ROM.
You will have to install latest SP Flash Tool and drivers for your phone bootloader (that unknown device which appears for a few seconds after connecting you turned off phone to PC)
androidxda.com/smart-phone-flash-tool
mediafire.com/download/g4dn7yh54savq90/Lenovo_A5000_usb_driver.rar
Then download from a russian site the official ROM (warning, it contains additional russian apps that you will have to remove)
Can't post the links, so google "A5000_S025_150121_ROW" and look for lenovo-forums.ru and bymobyle.by (1+GB files)
Then extract the ROM somewhere, open flash tool, click on scatter loading and find the "MT6582_Android_scatter.txt", open it and click Download.
Now connect your phone when turned off via USB and it should flash the ROM. Afterwards your phone should be able to start.
PS: It takes quite a while after the flash to start.
I hope you find this tutorial useful.

THANKS A BUNCH!!!
After i have flashed it back to stock version, do i need to reinstall custom recovery or is it still bootable?
im fully rooted no kingroot, full supersu now,
but google play doesnt work?
Code:
1. Remove your google account.
2. Download root explorer apk by googling it and install it to your device.
3. Open root explorer first mount it as read and write (you can see the mount option from root explorer main window clearly) and move on to
this directory (system>etc>long press hosts and select "open in text editor ")
4. Then erase everything there and type following .
127.0.0.1 localhost
#127.185.66.4 android.clients.google.com
5. Save it and by touching 3 dots on top right corner then save and exit
6. Now if u have not google play services installed (You can check it in settings>Application manager) then download apk by
googling(Google play services apk for android 4.4/5.0 or for whatever version you are on) .
7.Once installed simply go to settings>add account>google account and you will be able sign in normally.And wont receive any error
messages.
this is the steps i have exept i cant eddit the HOST file it says cantr save? how to i make it writable? i cant see options for mount whatever it is :S
is this what i need to do?
(my normal kindle thats rooted(5.1.1) and workign fines host file reads same as my non working(5.1.2)
kindle ver is only difference (before root ofc)
ok so ive done this now no problem, sorted BUT google play doenst work stil!!! whyyyy
