Xperia bootloop upgrading to 5.1.1 (FTF D2303 Generic UK 18.6.A.0.182)? - Sony Xperia M2

The last thing I remember flashing was Clockword Mod 11 last year, ever since then I have been running Firmware build 18.3.1.C.1.15. Upon seeing an update for my phone for Firmware build 18.3.1.C.1.17 I attemted to download it and kept getting the message "Cannot Verify" so after trying this out on PC Companion and relocking my bootloader I was still running into problems. So the simplest thing I could think of is to use Flashtool and flash the latest ftf from there (Firmware 18.6.A.0.182 - obtained from XperiFirm), at first I didnt think it was a problem to not wipe USER_DATA as I just thought of it as an upgrade, if that failed I persumed I would have to wipe everything (this didnt matter much anyway). So I went ahead and flashed the rom however when I went to boot my mobile I got a bootloop "Android is optimising apps xxx of xxx" this went on forever untill I cut the power using a pin. So I tried it again this time wiping everything and still the same problem :crying: . Then I came across people on the forums to use the older FlashTool verison 0.9.18.6 since the new FSC feature can cause probelms, this time I tried it again however I used the older Firmware 18.6.A.0.172 just to be failsafe. Still the same problem. Right then I was thinking Emma would save my phone so I went and applied the 4.4.4 Firmware 18.3.1.C.1.15 service (Which I had to begin with) but for some reason this seemed to have little effect despite trying it twice and reciving a "Sucessful Flash" message. Now I am left very confused as it is still booting in the lollipop style (optimising apps loop) even though I flashed a KitKat rom. I have been left without my phone all day because of this, any help would be STRONGLY APPRICIATED! . Thanks for your time

#1 Open your bootloader again
#2 Install TWRP (See 5.1.1 root topic for installation/guide)
#3 Open TWRP Wipe all data
#4 Reboot into recovery
#5 Flash any custom rom like Cyanogenmod through TWRP
Post results please this is fixable It's seems It's a soft brick which is an easy fix
What i think is you had corrupt data/left over data and after you relocked bootloader something went wrong after flashing. Though flashing should wipe all data let's see

Re-flash ftf wiping data and caches, you must do this if going from 4.4.4 to 5.1 and From 5.1 to 4.4.4 due to changes in runtime from dalvik to art and other changes.

How to get near enough stock?
Thanks for your replies, when I flashed the ftf's I did tick all the boxes under 'Wipe' on FlashTool, when that failed so did emma. I can try flashing CWM however the main purpose of this was for me to upgrade to Lollipop as I wanted a near enough stock experiance (Considering Z5 Rom) with root. When I tried CWM before there were a few things that I just coulnt get used to. Is there any way that I could use recovery to flash a stock rom with the lastest Lollipop releese or Z5 experiance as I have backups on PCC that I have to restore (Important contacts, media etc...) and I dont really want to use a CWM based rom . I wouldnt mind to flash Z5 however I dont know if this is possiable could you guys comfirm this? Thanks for your time .

[Update] TWRP recovery is working!
I have followed this thread to update my Recovery - TWRP 2.8.7.0 .
Many Thanks to @linuxct for the straight forward instructions and @ARandomIndian for putting me in the correct direction :highfive: .
Im just unsure if I can flash Z5 Experiance Rom now. Is it possiable despite my android being messed? I have already wiped data, is it okay to just go and flash? .

Don't worry you're android is not messed up, let's do this to fix it back to regular :-
Before starting i highly recommend you charge your phone to have atleast 50+% battery and use the official cable provided also make sure the cable is firmly inplace,
#1 Enter Recovery, wipe all data
#2 Download Stock 5.1.1 i think you like that so get that (Make sure it is for your D2303 or whatever your model is)
#3 Install latest flashtools with latest patch (Or later versions if you don't want to risk it)
#4 Go to the location of flashtools (installation directory) for me it is C:\Flashtool\drivers Open the exe file there, select the 2 Flashmode and Fastboot drivers install them.
#5 Flash the ftf using flashtools

Somehow...
Using TWRP I wiped Dalvik Cache, Cache, System and Data. Using the same 18.6.A.0.182 Customization UK FTF from yesterday I flashed my phone but somehow I am stuck with the same bootloop again?! "Android is optimising Apps XXX of XXX" I really dont understand this. . Thanks for your help .

Yes but this does not seem normal, the first boot always freezes on the wave animation. It then restarts by itsself and optimises upto so many for example 64 of 200 and then freezes and restarts with a different ammount like 90 of 194. This didnt seem normal to me, is this okay?
Edit: I have left it running for almost 40 min now. Every time just before it seems to freeze and reboot it never reaches the end of the ammount say 60 of 200. I'm becoming very doubtful that it is going to work . But I just remembered a while back that I flashed a custom boot img to get recovery and root in my last working state. Maybe this has somthing to do with it?
Really need my phone working now :| If anyone can help please do! Thanks!

I tried flashing the Z5 experiance rom, I followed the instructions on the rom page (Used TWRP). However this time when it booted it did not say "Optimising Android" but it still did boot loop after the wave animation. I also tried flashing the older firmware but that did the same loop again, I also have been looking for alternative ftf's online becuase I also had the suspicion of a corroupted ftf however there are no Customized UK roms availble. I really am stuck now, my phone seems to be more messed up than I thought. . Any more Ideas?

If your bootloader is unlocked did you update it before flashing anything? If not this is why

I flashed that very bootloder before I flashed the Lollipop ftf I booted my phone and the same thing happend, so I tried it again this time flashing afterwards an still booting with the same damn screen . Was I definatly using the correct bootloader or am I missing out anything when flashing? My phones rebooted like 5 times now for the 'optimisation' and its getting nowhere .
Shall I fire up my classic Nokia 5230 with custom Symbian to record a video so you guys can see what happens when it boots?

Did you wipe user data and cache when flashing the ftf

Yes, everything in the 'Wipe' section was ticked, infact before I flashed it again I also wiped Dalvik, cache, data and system in TWRP.

So I just flashed CWM 12.1 and its all running fine for some reason the Wifi doesnt work but atleast I can use this untill we find what the problem is. Do you guys know why my WiFi isnt working? But more importantly why does CWM work and stock rom doesnt?!
Edit: The reason the WiFi isnt working has to be a problem with the kernal as far as I can see, this also suggests that the kernal could be incompatable with Lollipop as it wasnt designed to support it? Correct me if im wrong but if this is the case where can I download the official latest kernal? If someone could confirm this by checking my kernal version above that would be great! Thanks!
I previously updated my kernal here the one that says [new]. If you look at post #8 you will see that this kernal has a problem with WiFi in CWM "As I suspected, in kernel modules there's no WiFi module (wlan.ko), I think that that's the reason why WiFi is not working.

First of all dont quote the whole OP
please edit ur post and delete it.
The blank screen is normal in flashing u have to wait for 3-5 mins for the first boot.
Please mention all details
which android version u were running previously.?
which recovery u used?
Have u wiped all things- system/data/chache/delvic-chache?
There must be problem in flashing process as this rom is working on 6 phones - tested by different users.
Please follow the procedure carefully and reply.
Hi, thanks for your response. I have edited the post as you mentioned.
I was running android 4.4 on my phone on Carliv Touch Recovery V 2.2. I did perform "Wipe All Data - Preflash" on both the occasion. As per your instructions, I waited for more than 10 minutes for the phone to recover / boot up after installation, however it did not. I removed the battery and restarted the phone, but still no display. I appreciate your hard work and am reporting this incidence to help you improve the ROM. I will try again, if you release a new version. Good Luck.

First try with only philz recovery.

Thanks for trying my rom.:good:
Its getting better and better..
After Android L,:good: tested this ROM..
I was under impression of that Android L will be most stable and Fast rom but i was wrong this ROM is rock solid i really mean it..
Thanks @avi..( I know how many times i gonna say this ..But you really rock!!:good
This rom contains VIPER4Android FX which was missing in Android L .
Also memory consumption of this was around 840 MB on first boot..
I switched to ART and memory consumption reduced to 690 MB.
This will be my daily driver for few Days.. will post review in coming Days..
time for a quick review
been using it for like a week
for the first 2 days there was a strange problem, i couldnt install via playstore/ restore via helium more than 2-3 apps had to restart everytime
with a backup of 125 apss that was painful
however the problem resolved after reinstalling the ROM
Review
1) Super snappy- havent lagged at all. However havent played heavy games like asphault etc
2) extremely snappy
3) extremely satisfactory battery life, i play fifa 15 UT and tennis for like 2 hrs and browse whenever i get time etc still getting 2 days of battery life easily with greenify and 2x battery save, earlier it was only 1.5 days on stock kitkat
4) UI is awesome but notifications of lets say Whatsapp are not readable, not a big issue though
5) Suddenly i got a message that sdcard and internal memory are unmounted, not its not showing my sdcard in storage and showing internal memory as sdcard. total confusion
6) it shows LTE omg, i am not even sure if its launched in such a remote area as mine. however it shows LTE and often with both arrows but 3g wont work, tried restarting and data off data on etc quite a few times, this morning struggled for like an hour had some urgency but had to borrow someone's phone then
^^ apart from that there isnt an issue, will try reinstalling the rom over the weekend and see if the problem is on my end.

[Q] Flashing Sprint S5 back to stock ROM fails

I have a Sprint Galaxy S5 that was up to the latest and greatest version of Android (Sprint's version, anyway) the other day (5/19/15). I decided to root and flash a variant of CyanogenMod 12.1 that was highly recommended by some others. The root and ROM flash were successful and uneventful. However, this ROM and many others based on CyanogenMod 12.1 are all experiencing issues with Bluetooth and skipping of audio. This has been mentioned in several other posts recently. Rather than suffer any more with this, I decided to download the latest stock firmware for Sprint S5 and get it back to the way it was before I rooted and flashed it. I downloaded Odin 3.07 and the stock ROM file. I followed what was shown in this post. I csn't seem to get this to work.
Here is the error I get in Odin:

Here is the error I see on my phone:
I've been able to flash lots of other ROMs (although they are all based on CM 12.1 with the same Bluetooth bug, so they are not usable for me). I've been able to put MOAR on, and that is working OK, but I would really like to get this back to the way it was. What am I doing wrong? Did I miss something? Have I missed something I should be doing?
Forgot to mention that I am currently running on MOAR v 6.2 OA6.
So moar rom is working? You can't downgrade the firmware if you took the od3 update or whatever the revision is that just came out. They locked out flashing back to previous builds in the latest firmware I've heard.
Interesting. Yes, MOAR is working just fine. I guess, since it's basically the same as stock Samsung, I should just use it. I like the extra tweaks and tools built in to it. But I really liked CM 12.1 (except for the stupid issues with Bluetooth). I guess I'll stick with MOAR until some gets a stable ROM for CM 12.1 or later out. Hopefully that won't be too far off.
What is your baseband version? As @tdunham stated the latest ota killed it from downgrading. So if you arent on OA6 you wont be able to odin that Stock firmware or any other earlier versions. You will have to find the full OC3 tar
May is Motorcycle Awareness Month Sent from my Galaxy Note 3
I have baseband version G900PVPU2BOD3. Does the baseband remain intact, regardless of the ROMs I have flashed?
Baseband changes, but bootloader doesn't. That is why you get a fail in Odin trying to install stock. Its kind of like a locked bootloader per say. Not really locked, but not able to downgrade. All in all the update to OD3 did what it was suppose to do by preventing a "thief" from factory resetting your device. Although that doesnt matter to people like us because we root for reasons and need that option to downgrade
May is Motorcycle Awareness Month Sent from my Galaxy Note 3
So is there any option to get my phone back to the stock ROM I had on it before I started all of this? Is that ROM available somewhere? I don't think I've seen it. I don't mind using MOAR. I had plans for doing some phone swaps after getting a new phone, and my wife will probably end up with mine. I don't necessarily want to give her a phone that has too much tweaking and settings that she won't understand how to use.

You've taken the OTA to OD3 if I read that right. As I understand it, as of now at least, you can't downgrade the firmware with OD3.

You've taken the OTA to OD3 if I read that right. As I understand it, as of now at least, you can't downgrade the firmware with OD3.

As I have this exact same issue and would like my phone back on a stock firmware. Is there anyway to flash the current firmware that the sprint device is on and not downgrade? or am i stuck for a while ? ( I'm also on the moar rom and have tried stupidly all the older firmwares... i also tried the s5 sprint oa6 with no luck. Do i need to go even further forward?
Much Appreciated

If you're already on OD3, you can't do anything about it. You can however flash any custom rom from OA6, MOAR 6.2 works just fine with OD3.

No way of knowing, since I was already rooted and on MOAR, I'm still on OA6 firmware and don't plan to change that.

I Think I Might Have Ruined My Moto G...

Hey, everyone. This is probably going to be pretty long-winded. I do apologize, but also ask that you read carefully and thoroughly before posting.
Pertinent Information:
Model: XT1032
Carrier: Consumer Cellular
Background Information:
A long while back I decided to root my phone so I could remove all of the useless applications I never used that just ate up what limited space this phone has. Everything went successfully.
A couple (or maybe a few) months ago I noticed that Android 5.1 was available for install. I wasn't aware that you needed to remove root access before doing an OTA update, and proceeded to brick my phone. I then followed a guide (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2700502) to flash back to stock firmware, thus removing root access, and afterwards, applied the OTA update successfully.
What I didn't notice was that the guide was for the XT1033, but, the phone still worked just fine. I could make / send and receive calls / texts, use my WiFi, etc. The only issues were that my data didn't seem to work at all, and my phone's internal memory was about 80% full, and only ~500MB of that was from my downloaded applications... Weird, right?
New Information:
Today I decided I was going to do a factory reset. I was no longer able to update or download applications because the Google Play Store would stop responding every single time. Also, I was sick of my phone's memory being so full, for seemingly no reason. Well, the factory reset failed to complete, and left my phone bricked; it wouldn't go past the unlocked bootloader warning screen.
I then did some research and fiddling around with a new guide (http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g/general/gpe-ota-lrx21z-5-0-1-xt1033-xt1032-t2969847). After following the instructions, which I found to be quite confusing, actually), I ended up back on Android 4.4.4, with a non-functional network. I used the XT1032 US GSM modem he linked in Step 6, since my phone's from the US, but maybe it was the wrong one? I also tried some different modems / radios from the linked posts in that part of the guide, but they didn't work either.
So, I followed a new guide for installing Lollipop 5.1 GPE via a 1-click batch file (http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g/general/gpe-lollipop-5-1-1click-installer-t3075522), and it seemed to work... Except my network no longer worked; the phone wasn't recognizing my SIM card. I tried downloading and installing a couple of different US XT1032 modems / radios to no avail.
Next, I took a shot in the dark and flashed back to the Android 5.0.2 XT1033 firmware from before, and now, it works fine... Kind of. The network functions again like it it did before, and the memory is pretty much empty (4.61GB of 5.55GB free) as it should be. The only problem is that the Android 5.1 OTA update has failed twice now, and the phone's not rooted again yet.
My Questions:
1) Why is my network functioning on an XT1033 firmware when my phone's an XT1032, yet on an XT1032 firmware it doesn't function?
2) Why can I suddenly not do the Android 5.1 OTA update like I could before?
3) Why did the Lollipop 5.1 GPE 1-click method leave me with a non-functioning network?
4) Why was my memory so full the last time I installed the Android 5.0.2 XT1033 firmware, yet now it's empty like it should be?
I'm beyond confused right now, and trying very, very hard not to throw my phone into the lake (which I can from the window right in front of me). I just want to use the latest version of Android, NOT have my phone's memory be ridiculously full, and have a functional network.
Have you tried installing CyanogenMod? https://download.cyanogenmod.org/?type=nightly&device=falcon you're going to need a custom recovery I use twrp https://dl.twrp.me/xt1032/

Do you happen to have a link to such a Baseband? Because I don't know too much about this stuff.
Is the Baseband the NON-HLOS.bin and/or fsg.mbn file(s)? If so, I have a couple of XT1032 firmwares of various Android versions; can I use one of them?
WHOA! I HAVE SERVICE!
On a whim, I decided to try flashing an XT1032 Baseband based on what I thought the files were, and it worked!
What I Did:
1) Flashed NON-HLOS.bin and fsg.mbn from a US_Retail_XT1032_KXB21.14-L1.32_CFC.xml.zip file I have.
2) Fastboot erased modemst1 and modemst2, then rebooted; voila!
I wasn't sure or not if those were the Baseband files, but I figured I couldn't make things any worse, lol.
EDIT: I'm still on the latest version of CyanogenMod at the moment, which also has the latest version of Lollipop.

I've heard that before. Fastboot flashing a full firmware image might help to get it back to "XT1032". But I wouldn't do that, if everything else works fine

Find your provider's APN data and create a new APN entry in the settings.

I had to do some digging to find where and how to change APN Settings in my phone, but once I found them, I was a little shocked; there are a lot of them! There's a list of about 15 different APNs in my phone!
That seemed a little unusual, so I looked for a way to reset them or something, and found a thread that talked about how to delete their database file with a Root Explorer. I went ahead and did so, then rebooted my phone, to find that they had all come back! Then I discovered you can reset them to default right from the APN Settings page; I did that, but they were all still there, LOL.
I'll give these a try, but I'm not expecting them to work, honestly. Perhaps I need to call my carrier and see if they can help me out. Although, if I tell them I rooted and flashed my phone, they probably won't.

Alright. I wiped as you stated and installed rom. Everything went well. Restoring all my apps took around 2 hours. Only had 35 apps. Downloading super sue to flash in twrp to get root. Right bow everything seems good. Will test out more later. I do like the look of it and feel how.
Good to have you back Sir. Could you possibly please get the Verizon visual voice mail baked in this kind Sir.
That and the low in call volume were the only things keeping me from running as a daily.

It seems that flashing supersu in TWRP (which version didn't matter for me) will cause the phone to lock at the M logo. Flashing the zip without flashing supersu does work...but installing supersu via apk method doesnt work. Tried flashing it again and once again locks at the M logo. Back to LP I go until this gets resolved.
:edit:
reverting back to my previous restore I now get the "Motorola Sensor Services Complete Uninstall" popup that re-appears on reboot even when checked to block the message.... I would probably terminate this build until you figure out whats going on with it, its buggy as heck.

You can just uninstall that sensor. MM installs a newer version and when you downgrade it needs to revert back. I'm testing 7.1 but will probably go back to 5.1 for my volte

While SuperSu 2.76 works for @iiWoodstocK ROM, the stock Brazilian Marshmallow 6.0.1 firmware on which this ROM is based actually needed BETA-SuperSU-v2.62-3-20151211162651. I don't know why, but we figured out it like this version of SuperSu. Then after successful reboot, you can update to newest version.
Since this CF Droid Turbo XT1254 ROM is based on that firmware, it's possible it also needs that version of SuperSu? BETA-SuperSU-v2.62-3-20151211162651 Perhaps that is a difference between @iiWoodstocK's ROM and this one? Just a suggestion. Let me know if it works.
You can find it at the bottom of the first post in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-maxx/general/guide-how-to-unlock-moto-maxx-moto-t3455341
I'm only suggesting that first post for the SuperSu version attached. The bootloader unlock procedures in that post are for the other Quarks, not for the Droid Turbo. But that version of SuperSu may be useful.
For those interested, however there are other files in that thread useful for all Quarks.

I installed 2.62 ss last night after you posted it in another thread and it worked great. I am rooted and phone is running normal. I am not going to update ss just yet. Been thinking of updating the kernel but not sure what benefits are from it. Will have to read that thread some. Thank you @ChazzMatt for the link. I had a reply done and summited right when the site went down. I am glad I was able to be the first to report back on installing the ROM Ect with help from members. CF will have to add the ss install in the opening post. My AdAway is working, flash fly is working, esfile explorer is working since rooted.

Good to have you back Sir. Could you possibly please get the Verizon visual voice mail baked in this kind Sir.
That and the low in call volume were the only things keeping me from running as a daily.

I will apply my low audio tweaks to this rom in next build. I will also see about getting vvm done too. However my audio boosters zips from .49 may still work I will look into it.

Unofficial Cyanogenmod 13 / Android 6.0.1 - Lenovo A850​
This is a CM13 rom for our Lenovo A850. This is NOT MY WORK, I found it on this russian forum/post. Unfortunately, i couldn't find further information about the developer since I read the forum through google translate
This is a pure android 6.0.1 and not a looklike rom.
Code:
#include
/*
* Your warranty is now void.
*
* I am not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards,
* thermonuclear war, or you getting fired because the alarm app failed. Please
* do some research if you have any concerns about features included in this ROM
* before flashing it! YOU are choosing to make these modifications, and if
* you point the finger at me for messing up your device, I will laugh at you.
*/

Bugs: My problems are...
• I have tried installing Magisk and SuperSu without success (because CM13 is already rooted)
• Lattest Xposed libraried are not working (old may not too)
• Can't always get into recovery using both volume and power buttons (go through the power menu)
• When in the recovery and rebooting into system the phone closes (unplug the batery and reboot it)
• Default (CM) file-manager sometimes craches (for no reason)
• Reboot just powers down the device
• DO NOT INSTALL GRENIFY, you will get into bootloop
• Did you found anything else? Do you know how we can fix the above?
Instructions:
0. MAKE A NANDROID BACKUP! This ROM doesn't do well with you NVRAM... You will probably need to restore your IMEI, your Serial Number would be lost, your Mac Address etc. So... backup.
1. Download the "Lenovo A850 cm13.rar" file from here (there is also a CM12 version, i haven't try it)
2. Google Apps are not installed so you can download them from the Open Gapps Project (ARM->6.0->Any version) or from the above link.
3. Un-rar the "Lenovo A850 cm13.rar" file. The TWRP recovery that is included is translated in Russian (can't change to English) so replace the "recovery.img" file with this View attachment recovery.img that i have cooked (English version).
4. Flash the rom to your phone (there are a lot of videosout there about this)
5. Boot phone and BOOM, CM13/Android 6.0.1!!!!
6. To enable root access or reboot to recovery, open Settings->About->Tap "Build number" many times to unlock Developer Options->go back->Developer Options->Check "Advance reboot" and change "Root access"
7. Keep pressing power button -> reboot -> recovery -> flash Gapps
IMEI Problems/Fixes:
You can fix the IMEI with:
- With MobileUncle (follow these steps)
- Tool Hero (the update of MobileUncle), after that uninstall it.
- Else... if you don't know that you can run IMEI&SN Writer V1.5.3, flash this ROM and try to run it (setup drivers etc). Then FORMAT the phone (with flashtool click format,auto), and flash (click download this time) this ROM(the same with the first link), and then change the IMEI etc with IMEI&SN Writer V1.5.3.

Yes I am already using it, well not daily since its not my main phone. Flashtool is included so it doesn't mater what rom you already have (ROW or CN), you just flash it. I think the ROM is CN though. Additionally, i have tried installing Magisk or SuperSu without a success because CM13 is already rooted. I couldn't change it. What is more, lattest Xposed libraried are not working too (phone freezes and reboots on apk open). Also, i couldn't get into recovery using volume and power button, i am accessing it through the power menu (reboot into recovery). To conclude, when I am in the recovery and I choose to reboot into system the phone closed but I have to unplug the batery and reboot it.
how about battery life?

I'm also using it (also not my daily device) and overall seems to work no major issues at the moment. I'm happy with the default root and options so I have no conflict with magisk/xposed. I just use the root to remove bloatware and to "tabletize" the phone (freeze sms/telephone/mobile data functions, but can be unfreezed if I need phone functions back again)
I have flashed gapps (pico/customized) version and there is FC if you replace stock clock and messenger with gapps version.
Also battery, this phone without network and screen working (and several apks) disables use to work for some days. Now the battery goes off in 1 day, even if not using. I will try to troubleshoot the culprit.
In lenovo's firmware it had an auto power on-off function that dissapears on this new rom.
Just some further investigation on this rom:
IMEIs are gone, and I am unable to restore them with the typical methods. I will keep on trying
It seems that the battery is drained by "Cell standby" (phone contacting telephony antennas) which is weird, because it has no sim, it's on airplane mode and I have frozen all apks related to phone/mobile data. But looking at the log and at the battery statistics, it's trying to do something with cell data. Also if I go to Phone test and try to "turn radio off", it ignores the click on the button.
I'll try a couple more things but my feeling is that something is wrong on the data system that is linked to the battery drain.
By the way, I have read on the russian forum (source of this post) that cm12 seems to work ok, but I don't want to go to an older version. I'll keep it as a last resource.

I do not have problems with the battery. DO NOT INSTALL GRENIFY, you will get into bootloop. You can fix the IMEI with Tool Hero (the update of MobileUncle). CM12 didn't work for me but there seems to be more users there...
I have tried all the common ways to restore IMEI: Hero, Mtk Droid tools, flashable zips (with/without nvram clear), imei generator and replacing files, changing permissions on /data/nvram, dd from a backup nvram.bin... nothing seems to work. I'm considering reflashing full rom again, just in case something went wrong during flashing.
I have also found a flashable modem firmware, doesn't work either.
Not quite fan of hero though, asks for too many permissions. Don't really get the point of the permissions to read contacts.
Regarding greenify I tried to install but it FC every time. Uninstalled without rebooting, so thanks for the advice. If you have no problem with battery and IMEI, I'm even more convinced that both problems are related.

I don't like tool hero too, but it did fix my IMEI problem. (I always deny most of the permissions it ask, and then uninstall). Nothing else worked (terminal, recovery, adb).
Battery seems fine here. I have to mention that my charging circuit has major problems. I use the phone daily now and I have 2 batteries charging them with cables.
Well, finally I have decided to re-flash, following the instructions of greatapo at the first post (I'm pretty sure I did the same last time).
In the middle I also flashed lollipop as suggested in the russian forum but I have little confidence that this had any impact.
The point is that phone has "magically" recovered IMEIs (like they were hidden somewhere) and battery usage is back to normal. Before, I had a slope of power comsumption due to cell network even on plane mode. Now, when the phone is idling consumption is flat.
I can recall that this phone (at least my device) had a strange behaviour: When it has been powered off for a while it didn't power on. But if I boot for recovery or keep it on, then it boots perfectly. This time I had it "heating up" before flashing (just in case something similar happens to any of you).
Booting taking too long!
I flashed this ROM with SP Flash Tool (latest). I end up my phone taking too long to boot. I am until now seeing a CynogenMod Marshmallow and some ripple effect behind it
Please. Anybody, tell me the real and proper way to get this ROM working on my Lenovo A850 (step-by-step). Explain Step 4 please.
I am super interested on this ROM!

Is it everytime or just the first time? First time is absolutely normal, as all aplications have to get compiled

Did you flash ROM+GAPPS successfully? I recently successfully flashed ROM. I tried to flash GAPPS using TWRP but after powering on my Lenovo a850, i always get 2 error message which is (Unfortunately, Setup Wizard has stopped working" (the most) and "Unfortunately, Google play services has stopped working". What now? Did I flashed it wrongly? Can you state how you flash GAPPS please?
