Interesting Leads, Not Dead Ends

All those links for those patches are dead links. Either that or you have to be

them. Also, MiUI 7.3.1 Final is available.

UPDATE: Request fulfilled. Link to uploaded files in post #1255

Maybe one of the reasons your having problems is because Lenovo A5000 is a Sprout 8 device, not a Sprout 4 device.

Sprout 4 = 4GB Internal Storage (not the same as 1GB RAM).

Sprout 8 = 8GB Internal Storage (not the same a 1GB RAM).

You should work with Sprout 8 ROMs instead.

For example, ROMs from Micromax Canvas Spark 2 (4GB) may be problematic, porting ROMs from Micromax Canvas Spark 2plus (8GB) may not be.

I see a lot of you still working with stock S123 for research and testing, but if you want to do that then S124 is what you should be doing it with: https://forums.lenovo.com/t5/A-Seri...-update-A5000-S124-151118-8G-ROW/td-p/2214796

Read the first page and the last page. You can read the other pages too if you want.

Someone help this poor soul out, the Thread Search on the right of the screen isn't working anymore for me to copy & paste the installation instructions of the other ROM uploads.

As for why Flyme OS for Meizu devices isn't ported: it's because, like the answer given for Paranoid Android, it has to be compiled from source for MTK 6582 first before being ported for A5000. Also, out of 22+ Meizu devices, about 3 or so are 6582 chipset and I forgot whether or not they have kernel 3.4.67 or even 3.10.54.

You know, on a side note, Page 78 of this thread is very, very, interesting :cool:

If you were once on RR 5.6.7 and got an OTA update for RR 5.6.8 that is normal. If you got RR 5.6.7 a while after it was released then didn't get an OTA update for RR 5.6.8 that is normal too. If you got RR 5.6.8 when it came out or a while after it came out and don't get an OTA update for RR 5.6.9, then that is also normal. This is because

at the moment

for OTA to work properly RR 5.6.8 and RR 5.6.9 have to be ported and flashed to the phone, rather than trying to get them by OTA update.

People who are on the latest build of RR 5.6.9 may occasionally get OTA updates (if they check for new updates), but these are nightly builds.

I know it's a bit confusing because www.mtkroms.com didn't add the RR 5.6.9 update.

The June 7th build of RR 5.6.8 added support for OTA but you couldn't update to the June 12th build by OTA. Once you have the June 12th build then OTA updates should work fine. See below.
