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.

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.

WELCOME!

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.

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.

i Think Solution is Already Mentioned on First Page .. any way , RollBack working Fine for me , No Touch Lag No OTG Bug .
Just simply Flash S030 kitKat in Normal Way and then Flash This Custom Kernel , OTG and Lag Fix and also it has Gesture wake too (DT2W , S2W) ...

Anyway this 2.8.7 Recovery Never Worked for me after Roll Back, Tried TWRP v3 (Currently using ADB/Quick Reboot to reboot into Recovery , correct Combination don't Know ............. ) , Working Fine SO far , flashed CM 12.1 (5.1.1) without any Problem , just Found a minor Sound Bug ( Low Volume/Audio from Headphones and Speakers while on Call ) , Hope someone Fix it Soon ( did some googling , found a lot of people having this Issue ) , Also their is No Safe Eject for OTG which is Strange , And Hardware Acceleration BUG which causing some of Apps Not To Work Properly ( Like MX Player HW+ and SCR Recorder Pro) rest Working Awesome , Performance wise GOOD ( at least much lighter than that Vibe UI and MIUI )...

1. Flash over stock lollipop.
2. Use TWRP by JAV Team
3. Follow steps clearly as mentioned in thread .
4. Try to boot without Gapps .( I used Pico ,it may not boot sometime when we flash mini & full Gapps)

Why you updating binary . SuperSU is already flashed while flashing ROM . You didn't need to update SuperSU binary . ...
If you want to update SuperSU than grab latest recovery flashable SuperSU from somehere and flash it by booting into recovery . that's it.
I don't know about flash issue . But that green color is showing because you enabled some feature in it like gesture or something . You can search on Google to fix fb and messenger issues.

Hi. Thanx for the ROM. Is there any chance of further development of this ROM or is it just single port and then it's over?

and after flashing the rom battery draning issue after 100% just browsing for 15-20 min battery level go to about 70% and in stand by mode also battey drain so fast if i charge to 100% and left it unused and wi fi is on in night time then in morning after abut 8h battery level go to below 20% so any one can suggest me how to control it.

USE ANOTHER ROM IF U THINK ITS CAUSING TOO MUCH TROUBLE..... I am not using this rom because I can't login to my Google account due to account security issues . (Google think my device is stolen and someone is trying to login from same device with another account). Otherwise it was working fine . This ROM is ported from Other device due to which it maybe causing little problem.... If I using this rom , I can live with that.
You've ported this rom include [port] in the title.

Thank you MAD-team
Hi,
How to install ROM and gapps?
On TWRP or using flash?
Thank you
Should we come from the last 7.1.2 build (which has different partitions from stock)?
I really appreciate the work, but it's somewhat unflashable. New recovery is not stable, it gets stuck sometimes. Also I didn't manage to bring 8.1 to run with Gapps yet.
€: To provide somewhat more information: System crashes when running playstore.
€2: Full wipe made, advanced wipe and wiped every partition. It gets stuck coincidential, there's no proper reason for it, it got stuck once when I flashed MadOS itself, second time it got stuck flashing gapps, so I hope I get it run that night...
€3: Recovery freezes and after 30 seconds (approx) phone reboots.
€4: Nope, I don't get it to work, goddamnit. It freezes almost immediately after I enter my pin.
Help please...

Hold VOL+ and POWER when rebooting. Then you can choose to boot into TWRP. There you copy the new recovery image and then flash Oreo.

Yes, you only have to bring the recovery up again.
What you can also do is: Go back to 7.1 (flash it with SPflashtool) and then do the steps

Reflash 7.1 image using SPflashtool, I made a guide for this There you go. Then you can repeat.
Okay so 8.1 is not working at all... I get somewhat a weird failure on screen, the screen "sacks" down (main UI Activity just "fall down", status bar is still up) and then it freezes... Looking forward to get this fixed soon.
€: And the boot time is horrible, before I see a screen it's black for idk 2 Minutes
€3: Nvm lol, actually the phone is now unable to boot in System....
€4: Give it a try with "optional" F2FS File system step, let's see.
€5: Nope, didn't fix a thing. So well, at least I could capture this "sack down" thing:
The red line is where the display ends. As you can see the symbols are still in place. The blue line marks where the activity "sack down" and if this happens (which happens just on coincidence) nothing will happen any further, system's frozen and it reboots afterwards.

Yes, the latest 7.1.2 is mandatory. Added this to the first post now too.
I tried to install the new rom, after I installed the new twrp, the phone is still restarting, I tried to return to 7.1.2 with spft but no success even does not connect with the laptop, what I could do they do?

Did not solve the problem so far. Wifi is even broken after restoring the los 12.1 backup which worked before
Edit: uploaded logcat
Ok, i reflashed the old carliv recovery via fastboot after installing Los13 and i got wifi back ...
And afterwards i flashed twrp again via fastboot and wifi is still working...
Previously i flashed the twrp zip from carliv, i guess this was part of the problem
reflashing recoveries in fastboot not worked for me :/
I also wiped everything including internal storage before, and bootet into each of the two recoveries and to the system from there.
Maybe the carliv recovery changes some things on the system, idk.
Hi, I am so glad that this is still alive project
I upgraded recovery via mtk flesher. Just rename twrp 3.1.1... into recover.img and click "download".
My wifi and bluetooth are working. Sometimes bluetooth have conflict with wifi and plain reboot fix things.
It is strange that not a single one sensor work(acceleration and gravity, magnetic field, orientation and rotation. They all worked in 12.1 beside rotation. Hope thing are going to get fixed up.
Had a few freezes also(hard reset do the job)
Overall I have a feeling that this is smoother than 12.1.
EDIT: It was misleading about recovery flash. You need to extract from twrp_3.1.1_ME173X.zip "recovery.img" and replace in folder where scatter file with old "recovery.image" is.

edit: Flashed old recovery trough Flash Tool, than TWRP in Flash tool wipe all what i can and then install LOS 13. Wifi working like a charm
Any chance you can help with source patches?
First of all thanks to snapdragon for the new LOS13 support.
I'm sorry to tell you that all of your mentioned ways to get WiFi back to work did not work for me. What I did and what I tried:
Normal installation way:
Flashed new recovery via old custom recovery
complete wipe
flashed new LOS13 via new TWRP recovery
WiFi not working!
Going back to old custom recovery and back to TWRP
Flashed old custom recovery via TWRP
complete wipe
flashed new TWRP custom recovery via adb sideload since my sd card can only be mounted via new TWRP recovery
complete wipe
flashed new LOS13
WiFi still not work!
This is all I did. I realized that fastbood mode is not working for my device, could be a driver problem since my device is installed as ùó something when plugging it into the pc in fastboot mode, so I tried the way via adb.
Hint: I have the model with the alternative hardware, so the second kernel is required to fix flickering display issue.
I realized that the new TWRP recovery has this issue aswell, so my display is flickering from the right side to the center sometimes in TWRP recovery.
Any ideas what could help getting WiFi back to work?
Thanks in advance!
Edit: Could it be that this WiFi problem has something to do with the following thread:
FIX FOR MAC 02:00:00:00:00(WiFi and hotspot not turning ON)
Important. Root required..... Hey everyone,I saw so many posts regarding Android & iOS that the Mac address is changing to 02:00:00:00:00 and WiFi is greyed out. None of the WiFi or hotspot not turning on.I get the same problem in my Condor and...
forum.xda-developers.com
I read over some postings and googled the mac address 02.00.00.00.00 and it seems that a lot of devices had this problem when updating from android 5 to 6. It seems that it could have something to do with the partitions where the info (mac address, IMEI) are stored, but in general I have not found a solution and a specific description of the problem.
Anyway: If the problem can be solved by doing the steps described in the thread I provided above I’m not able to solve this. I would not describe me as a noob, but it seems that I need root and knowledge of permission management for the fix, and I am not very familiar with Linux.
Could you do the following test:
In twrp:
Full wipes ( system, etc etc and internal storage) be sure you back up your stuff
Then reboot to recovery
( It'll warn there's no OS installed)
Back to recovery
Do full wipes again , plug the tab into pc and copy the rom to internal storage
Reboot to recovery again
( It'll warn again, there's no OS installed)
Proceed to flash the rom
This has worked with a user
Issue: for an unknown reason some devices seems to fail mounting / reading nvram
@ twrp I'll do a build for people with this second hardware revision, flickering is annoying...
Thanks for your fast reply.
I did two full wipes with rebooting into recovery after each wipe as you said, then I copied the OS zip file to internal storage and rebooted again to recovery.
After installing the ROM I rebootet to system and LineageOS was preparing the first start. I started without flashing the kernel for alternative hardware (2nd kernel) to check if it works first.
I'm sorry to tell you that I still got no WiFi and Bluetooth connections, Mac address still is shown as 02-00-00-00-00, WiFi cannot be turned on.
Edit: Seems that is has nothing to do with wipes (on my device). I've tried all kind of wipes via TWRP
Format Data -> yes -> reboot to recovery
Advanced Wipe -> check all (Davlik, Cache, Data, Internal Storage, System -> Again format data -> Yes -> reboot to recovery
flashed ROM, 2nd Kernel and GApps -> Reboot to recovery -> reboot to system
Still no WiFi. Perhaps I should try to go back to stock rom and see if WiFi works there? Do you think this could make the deal?
test this
full wipes
flash rom, then this kernel afterwards

Again, thanks for your efforts, it seems to be a really tough and bugging one, since the new kernel did also not fix the problem.
Edit: Just to keep u updated: I just flashed old recovery and afterwords old LineageOS 12, WiFi is working well. So there must be some problem with the update or the update process. I will try to wipe first and then install new recovery and again install new OS, perhaps this will do the job.
Edit2: BTW I forgot to tell you that I had problems with settings -> about tablet -> status on lineageos 12. Just remembered because i wanted to have a look to the mac address. I get an error telling me "unfortunately, settings has stop". Perhaps important for the update?
Important Edit3:
Guess what: I made it to work. I did the following to do it:
1. Format Data and do all wipes possible with TWRP recovery. Reboot to recovery and do the same again.
2. TWRP recovery -> install old recovery
3. In old recovery -> install via sideload (adb sideload) lineageOS12 and second Kernel (for me because of hardware)
4. Boot to system and check if WiFi works well (finish the initialization of the device and connect to a WiFi)
5. Boot to recovery (old recovery) -> WITHOUT WIPING install via sideload TWRP recovery
6. Boot to system. (Still lineageos12) check if WiFi still works
7. Boot to TWRP recovery -> WITHOUT WIPING install lineageos13.
8. Boot to system, finish initialization if necessary and check if WiFi still works.
9. Go to setting and do a factory reset from lineageos13 settings
10. Device will reboot to recovery and do the factory reset and automatically will boot back into system.
11. Finish. All should work now.
I don't know what exactly did the job, so I wanted to provide all steps I did.
Since I never flashed an android custom Rom over another without wiping I don't know what errors this procedure can cause. So if someone knows that please let me now that I can have a look if there are errors.
Thanks again for your assistance.
