Some bugs I found and you didn't mention in your post:
Market missing. Manually installed market chrashes at start (tried to apks).
Phone app force closes - no chance to cancel the call anymore
minor layout problems in startscreens: I have put the energy settings widget in the first row and an icon in the second row. Now the icon is a little bit covered by the widget
PLS UPDATE this rom!!!

The mac isnt available because wifi is disabled
I'll suppose that one of these options is the one u experience
A) u turn wifi on and after a few seconds it say error
B) u turn wifi on and it auto-disable itself even before showing wireless networks or giving any error
Either one, in most cases, result from a bad flashing or the wifi files have the wrong permission, since i dont want to make u go to a goose chase after the permissions, flash the rom again but before do a full wipe (the normal + format boot + system. They are the advanced option) and fix permissions before reboot

Hi !!
Now work the wifi...
One question?.....
can I change in the nvram.txt,(In the path system/etc/firmware) the
macaddr=00:90:4c:14:43:01 for my macadress of my phone??
Can I add too direct to the folder system/app the current apks from google(googlequicksearch.apk, voicesearch.apk, vending.apk,maps.apk,etc) ? before install...
doing so, Can the ROM works?.....
Funny thing, in the other rom someone asked about the mac address too
In theory, u can do that, i havent tryed that, mine reports the correct mac (some things in every rom are weird, different results for the same kind of phone)
about gapps, yes, u can flash those apps at the system folder but before doing that, check if u have enough free space in that folder. Use the root explorer, enter that folder and see how much free space is there ( it is written above the file listing) and compare with the size of those apps. The rom just needs 10mb of free space in system to boot without any problems. Download the gapps zip for gingerbread and paste them inside the app folder of that zip and flash it. This way, if u want the updated versions of those, u can place them in the zip and flash, the new ones will replace the old ones. Just remember to fix permissions before reboot.
And yes u can flash them after flashing the rom, it wont affect boot just the time it needs to start the 1st time. Will take a minute (give or take) more to boot (more apps mean more time to write the dalvik cache, but it will only do that the 1st boot)

Samsung GT-S7562 CyanogenMod 11.0 Android 4.4.4
Unofficial Release
I proudly present my first Android related work.
The GT-S7560M has a similar hardware except the dual-SIM RIL, so the kylessopen firmware (thanks to jonypx09 and others) was a good initial source.
I reverse engineered the stock Java Radio Interface Layer, and based on that informations, I restructured the kylessopen’s sources.
Finally with my custom telephony-common, telephony-msim java layer, and with the stock rild, and libril*.so binaries, the GSM connection works.
Important: This is an unofficial release. If you find a bug, please send a feedback in this thread.
If you have a problem with the installation, write it down in the Q&A thread.

S7562, S7562L supported.
S7562_C_, S7562_i_ are not supported. Don't flash on it, otherwise you will brick your phone.

Video Encoding has bugs.
Camera is only 3Mpx.
FM radio not supported.
WiFi not works on L version, I need a tester.

You can update system from RC2 without wipe your phone.
You can enable "Force high-end graphics". Mostly, animations are smooth.
I ask everyone, who have bluetooth accessories to test the bluetooth layer, and provide feedback what is working or not (just with log cats).

Updates for RC1 (flash with TWRP):
browser_fix.zip
signal_strength_fix.zip
torch_fix.zip
CameraFIX_v2.zip This will fix the front and back videocamera. Before install this, disable Viber's videoConverterService with DisableService app (Play Store).
If your battery quickly discharges on RC1, disable all bluetooth service (org.codeaurora.bluetooth, Bluetooth Share) with DisableService (Play Store).
Comments:
Working Radio Interface Layer for both SIM card
WiFi direct is not supported, so you can't enable. Use Bluetooth, Dropbox, email etc...
If you want to install Viber, before the first start, disable Viber's videoConverterService with DisableService app (Play Store).
The "OneL+ Lollipop" theme with "IdeaL Theme Dark"'s icons is beautiful.
To prevent sound disruption, enable the equalizer.
About Google Apps, and GService Bug
Fixed with all releases after rc3. For reference see below
Latest gapps (ver. 7.x) has issues, and eat our baterry, so I recommend to install the package that I linked, disable autoupdate in Gapps, and disable GPlay's CheckWifiAndAutoUpdate service with DisableService (from Play Store).
If your Gservices app updated to the version 7.x, you can easily downgrade to 6.x
(you can do this, if you installed my linked package or earlier):
Settings-->Security-->Device Administrators-->Uncheck "Android Device Manager"
Settings-->Apps-->Google Services-->Disable-->Yes, you want to remove updated version

However that the rom is a bit laggy (much better than one would expect from a first build).
Yes there are bugs ! but yeah! there is network too..
Where should we report the bugs bro @m4jones? I found some.
1 network on indian modem is super duper unstable.. so change op and recomended people to flash your modem file.
With your modem , i found the sim networks to be quite stable.
2 torch app is useless as neither app nor widget works. So fix it or remove it
( CAMERA WORKING FINE FOR ME)
COngrats and all the best ! continue your good work
The built-in browser fixed.
Where should we report the bugs bro @m4jones? I found some.

Post it here.
minor problem here:
Signal strength is reported wrong for both sims.
Always shows full strength.
Recognition seems to be working as values are changing but they are much too high. Around 2000dBm.
Phone calls in/out SMS and data rock stable on both sims for me.
Performance is good(better than expected).
Zram is not working init.rc entries(or script) are missing. Maybe a kernel problem too idk ATM.
Thanks @m4jonez you're great!!!!!

Review !!
Great Work !!:laugh::good: @m4jonez . Love to have a Cm Rom for our device
My thougts :
1) Battery drainage is an issue..
2) Interface Performance is good but can be better ( can't expect more from Rc1 )
3) Need a good overclocked Kernel !!
THANKS A TON
One Question ........Is lollipop next :fingers-crossed: ( kidding )
Can I flash Stock kernel in this??

Installation Instructions
Make sure you have a second partition on your SD card formatted to ext4 before flashing!!!! This can be created with either CWM recovery or with TWRP. gparted on Linux should also work. If you "SD card not supported" try repartitionning. If you get "Encryption unsuccesful" then you need to format the second partition as ext4 (or f2fs, your choice).
If on a BML rom (stock-based GB)...
1. Reboot to recovery
2. Make sure your version of CWM is at least 5.x
3. Install zip. It will reboot a couple of times, don't be worried.
4. If you want gapps, reboot to recovery, wipe data+cache and install gapps.
5. If you want root, flash SuperSU whenever
If on an MTD rom (CM7 and all ICS+)
1. Reboot to recovery
2. Wipe data, dalvik/art cache, system, and cache partitions
3. Install zip
4. If you want root or Gapps, install them now.
The first boot can take several minutes. Be patient. If it takes 10+ minutes, pull the battery and reboot to recovery.
Things to Take Note Of
I actually have a T959P, not a T959V... It was released by Telus in Canada. It is a very similar device (I can run ROMs for the T959V with limited problems - ie sometimes I get wakelocks and the gps never works), it has a different GPS chipset and also uses different cell bands (but I can still use your guys modems but I lose access to the 850Mhz band). I have created a build specifically for the T959V as best as I can guess.
Bluetooth only enables from the notification pulldown, not when you go directly to settings. It does work just fine afterwards though
If you're coming from either the last Lollipop build or the initial pre-release Marshmallow build, there is a bug in TWRP that will prevent flashing anything but the ROM. To get around this, please flash the Marshmallow zip, then reboot to recovery, and then follow the typical instructions.
If you decide to install gapps at a later date (ie after you've installed the ROM), you must do a factory reset first - otherwise you will get force-closes upon bootup
If you come across a bug, feel free to let me know by posting in this thread. I will not be working non-stop on this project, but will try to fix bugs that affect me as this is still my main phone (out of choice, not necessity).
This build is very close to the official omni source code. This means that the recovery is TWRP and there aren't any added "features"
In order to get it rooted, you need to install SuperSu.
Gapps eat up about an extra 30MB of RAM so they slow down the device - tread carefully.
Backup Backup Backup! I'm not responsible for you losing any data.

Powered-off charging animation - works at first, but then stops working. Seems to be an Omni problem, but it still charges...
What doesn't
SElinux is currently in permissive mode. Will not be going to enforcing, this would require a data wipe as well
What's been removed
TV-Out - It was removed upstream plus I think binary blobs would need a ton of shimming in Lollipop+
Everything else is not tested!!!

Thanks Time!
Thanks Time!
This would not have been possible without the following people:
Thanks to humberos for bringing Lollipop to the first-gen Galaxy S series. This would not have been possible without his work.
Thanks to FB and Dao for their work on the CM-11 device tree. I used several of their fixes.
Thanks to noiphonehere for his device trees and kernel, most of my work was based off of his.
Thanks to the OMAP4 AOSP team for their work on porting CMA to a 3.0 kernel.
Thanks to bhundven and the other members of teamacid for their work on the aries kernel.
Thanks to all others that have helped get this phone to where it is today!
Thanks to vcmerritt. A name you're probably not familiar with, but he was the only one to create something for the T959P and without him I'd still be on stock...
Build your own!
Follow the instructions at http://docs.omnirom.org/Setting_Up_A_Compile_Environment using the android-6.0 branch
Before doing a repo sync, put the galaxy_s_series.xml file from the Downloads folder in .repo/local_manifests folder of the source tree (create the local_manifests folder if necessary).
After syncing the source, open a terminal and in the directory where you downloaded the source code type "./device/samsung/aries-common/patches/apply_patches.sh" to apply the patches necessary to have a working build. Then run "source ./build/envsetup.sh" and then "brunch galaxys4gmtd". For future builds, only the envsetup and the brunch parts are necessary. Please note that you will have to re-run the apply_patches.sh script after each time that you run repo sync. (Note: the patch script no longer runs automatically)
You should be able to use my trees for other first-gen galaxy S devices. You will need to apply a patch similar to https://github.com/xc-racer99/andro...mmit/fe6bc6b82881a12fc4a5647812f3cf0f52f79c6a to your device tree (if coming from Omni 5.1). I haven't done anything to P1 trees and may have broken the kernel for it...

Gapps
Gapps cause the first boot to be very, very laggy. Things do improve after that. The best way to get through the Setup Wizard (IMO) is to skip everything possible (ie connecting to Wifi, settings up a Google Account, etc) and then reboot. You can manually add a Google Account later in Settings. While any (small) Marshmallow gapps should work, I have had success with OpenGapps pico package from www.opengapps.org (untested on recent builds).
SuperSu
SuperSu can be found at http://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/supersu. If on May 2016+ builds, systemless 2.71 works (other systemless versions may work, untested). If you're on an older build, you need to either force system mode (create a file in /system or /data called .supersu with the contents "SYSTEMLESS=false") or use an older version (ie version 2.52 or earlier). August 2016 build updates the systemless to 2.76.
Woooow thanks
As you suggested, Gapps caused lots of problems...made the ROM very slow and laggy, lots of FC's, lots of random reboots, etc. I re-flashed without Gapps. Was able to restore apps with TB and root with SuperSu. The basics...calling, browsing, messaging, camera...are working fine. Haven't taken it for a ride yet, but GPS test picked up 5 satellites and I haven't even taken it outside yet. If I desperately need another app, I guess I can find the .apk somewhere. Since I did a TWRP backup, maybe next week I'll try the pico gapps again and see what happens. At any rate, wonderful work.
Update: Took it out for a spin this afternoon....GPS works fine.
Been running the 1/7 for a few days. loving it so far

I've also uploaded a T959P build as I had a request for one. Let me know if you guys find any more bugs.
New build flashed fine although I had to re-flash the SuperSU zip...no problem since I already had it on my SD card. I'll let it rest up for a day or two and then I'll try to flash the pico-gapps and see if it
will run smoothly....good job.

Sounds good. Do note that when/if you flash gapps, you will need to do a complete data wipe first, otherwise you will get force-closes like crazy.
I've always just reflashed SuperSU manually and never relied on the script to restore it so I can't help you there.
Tried to install over MTD SlimSaber with TWRP 2.7.0.0, kept getting Status: 7 error with updater.sh script.
Any way to fix this?
Thanks in advance.

Hmm, going back to to stock with a OneClick/Heimdall/Odin will work for sure.
Alternatively, check if there is an omni.cfg file on your SD card. If there is, delete it and try again. Also, if you can get me the exact wording of the error output that would be great, along with the omni_mtd.log file from the SDcard.

I will Heimdall One-Click back to KJ6 and reflash the ROM after checking for the omni.cfg, and will quote the output and the log if I get another error.
I'll be back by 5:00pm PST. I have school to take care of.

I typically used the Blastoff kernel, but I have my own one-click as I have a Canadian variant.
Also, the omni_mtd.log will tell which part of the updater.sh failed. Another thing to check is if you have a second partition on your SD card. This ROM requires one as /data is put there.

I'll try out Blastoff if I can find it. But it probably failed because I did not partition my sdcard. I'll see if that helps later.
Thanks a lot.

Hey, xc-racer99, after about four assorted blind attempts at installing your work, I flashed back to stock/AntonX kernel with Heimdall and full wiped, then used CWM to create a 4GB partition on my sdcard. The ROM installed through CWM, then TWRP without an error and booted up after fifteen minutes or so of OMNI animation, and is running on my SGS4G without any issues. The only noticeable lag was for the first five minutes after the initial boot. Now my device is gliding smoothly after a few tweaks in the performance settings and turning off background processes. Thank you so very much.
Next time, I'll read the entire post before blundering through the install process with the assumption that I know what I'm doing [as usual].
Sorry for the trouble, if indeed I was any.

Finally got pico gapps to run...the initial setup took quite a while but now that it's settled in, no problems. It's also interesting to note that Link2SD is running fine while it seems to be a major problem for other Lollipop & Marshmallow ROM's on other devices.
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.

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.

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.
