We all like to flash new custom roms in our Lenovo A6000.
Some time new custom rom release on Lolipop base which is very attractive and we might wanna check it out.
Unfortunately the new custom rom might be buggy and we may be forced to revert back to kitkat or whatever os you were before.
Analysing the present custom os' available for lenovo a6000, many rom authors says that the phone should be currently running on kitkat/lolipop before instaling that particular OS.
I found a work around to avoid flashing of 1 GB stock rom (which is time consuming) to get into kitkat/lolipop build. You just need to flash a very small sized zip file which contain the core system files that are essential .Steps
From Kitkat to Lolipop
Download Kitkat named file attached below
Copy it to your sdcard
Boot into recovery
Flash the copied file
flash whatever lolipop custom rom you like
Voila all done and reboot
[*]From Lolipop to Kitkat

Thank You Rahul S Nair for Your Efforts and Hard Work,
Unfortunately It's not working for Me on A6000,
i was in CM 11 4.4.4 (Unofficial),
I just flashed your Kitkat based system by you.zip via TWRP and it's succesfully installed,
Then i flashed Xenon HD from ( http://www.techolaty.com/34356/lenovo-a6000-plus-xenon-hd-custom-rom-32-bit.html ) which is based on Lollipop 5.1, > it showed installation completed.
and i rebooted my device.
But Stucked on Lenovo Logo.
Waited for more than 5 - 6 Minutes, Done 3-4 Times, But no more Changes_Any remedy?
But after this i can install Kitkat based ROM, installed CM 11 again without any changes,

Hello, I have a 10' Thomson Tablet (Chinese tab ) , I flashed the Stock ROM many times and flashing always went well but my internal storage shows 0.0B, which is why I cant install any App. I tried formatting the system partition from Recovery (CWM) but it failed.
Now , I want to install a Custom Rom (cynogenMod) . My device uses andorid 4.1.1 , I m not sure which ROM version will work for my device.
I found that my device uses AMlogic Chipset.
Attached is an image of my board.
Hello,
I see you already posted here https://forum.xda-developers.com/general/xda-assist/customrom-amlogic-device-t3538019

Hi,
I can't seem to find any custom recovery for gionee f205 with mt6739 chipset. So I tried porting similar mt6739 unofficial twrp img but it is also not working. Any custom recovery would be alright. Please help

You has experience flashing Custom Recoveries?
Share all specs from your device and let me know how you tried Porting.
Maybe need this? Gionee F205 / F205 Pro DA & Auth
Thanks, I have zero experience and have only started. I have already ported the custom recovery to my device using carliv image kitchen tool from here. The TWRP custom recovery is working perfectly but I can't confirm it as I have been searching for a week for a custom ROM(Oreo or later) to flash for my gionee F205(nougat) and can't find one. I have started trying to port the stock ROM of GIONEE F205 PRO which is Oreo and also treble enabled. Both have little differences but the same chipset(MT6739). But as of now nothing has worked. Could you help with that?
Or is there any custom ROM I can flash? Can I port from this non-treble device to an treble enabled ROM.
Also I tried Flashing the Stock rom of F205 pro excluding the Preloader using SP Flash Tools. But it return a error "PMT changed for ROM, it must be downloaded". So I tried to format except the bootloader and it too returns an error "ERROR : STATUS_SEC_WRITE_DATA_NOT_ALLOWED(0XC002000C).

You not need Custom ROM to test Custom Recovery. Now you need confirm that your file work good as you confusing here: "The TWRP custom recovery is working perfectly but I can't confirm it as.."
If you know that your TWRP work "perfectly" so the "issue" SOLVED. LOL
About Custom ROMs MT6739 stock Nougat:
I did a quick search in some places I know and the news is not good. I didn't really see any custom ROM for MT6739 with Nougat kernel.
Without a kernel upgraded to Android 8.1 you will not have much chance of installing the GSI ROM.
It is not just installing the stock ROM of another similar device or of the same company! It is about something that will take time and may have many errors to correct because companies that sell MTK devices do not provide all Source Code files to make a new kernel. So you can usually even ask someone with experience to do something, but without the full Source Code, then the chances are -100%.
So you can even have a Custom ROM from another MT6739 as long as it is with the Nougat kernel. Obviously there will be items to be solved for your device or suddenly not. As I have not seen any MT6739 Nougat with Custom ROM, then I cannot help further in this context.
If I had an MT6739 with Nougat then I would look at some MT6737 with Nougat because there are a lot of Custom ROMs for these. But remember that the MT6739 can have 32 bits (arm) or 64 bits (arm64) and that will influence something.
I myself have a 64-bit Nougat MT6737T that has RRMix Oreo 8.1 and works great!
So everything will depend on you and your time to do the PORT and the necessary tests because it will be a learning experience for yourself!
Good Lucky!

Is there any Utility that can be used in Ubuntu 14.04 to flash a ROM or a custom recovery to an android? I am interested in flashing the stock ROM and CWM recovery to a Broadcom chip based android ...

Well, the twerp recover utility was still there. All i had to do was copy a custom rom to my sd card and insert in in the phone, then boot into twerp recovery and flash the custom rom present in the sd card.
Thanks for all your help!
