Normal factory reset that clears data ,cache and dalvik .you can try the advanced wipe that isn't really required

So click wipe then swipe to factory reset

Then you can try install and locate the ROM.zip

Do the same for the gapps and SuperSU.zip

Okay so I did a wipe with cache, dalvik, data and system ( followed a youtube video) and then I installed cm 12 zip file. Right now I'm not sure to wait or not since its stuck at do not change credits and theres no back button and neither does the physical back button work. Is this normal?

Nop do a normal wipe again and try to install again.

You can try twrp v3 though its pretty fast and stable ,it didn't show brom error when I flashed it over twrp 2.8.7

[Android General] northwindtrades:
I did tell you to wipe cache dalvik and data Right?

Some roms need the system partition not to be wiped ,you can try another ROM (maybe you'll have better luck) or flash stock KitKat again and start over
[Android General] ilham9089:
Yea i wiped cache dalvik and data. Not interested in any other rom right now so I guess I'll just start over with kitkat.

---------- Post added at 12:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:06 PM ----------

Just to make it clear. It's okay if I use twrp 3 to flash cm 12.1 right?
[Android General] northwindtrades:
Did you make backup ,you can just restore by twrp .:)

And I meant to clear data cache Dalvik the first time but you went ahead cleared the system as well.:silly:

Twrpv3 is okay
[Android General] ilham9089:
I was about to make a backup but then I was like eh, I can just use flashtool lol. Anyway, I flashed kitkat again and for some reason the battery is at 0% (it was about 15 before flashing).

---------- Post added at 01:06 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:26 PM ----------

lol i dont know what just happened. I flashed kitkat and it worked fine. I powered off the phone and went into the custom recovery and now its actually twrp 2.8 rather than twrp 3. I'm guessing the kitkat rom had this recovery?

Root lenovo a5000

Hi. I have lenovo a5000 with lolipop 5.2 and i want to root it via root apk. Will this brick my phone? I dont want costom rom but just to root it to have some privileges. Can you help me? Thanks.
[Android General] 7awliet:
Patches | Download Stock FW via Phone | Recovery And Root

If the fix is only relevant to RR then when we port/build RR ROMs we should include it in them or with them so it's easier. If the fix works on other ROMs then we should do the same, either way.

No worries, your work is very much appreciated.

---------- Post added at 05:32 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:29 AM ----------

[Settings] > [About phone] > [System Update] > [Check update] > {press menu key (left capacitive touch key)} > [Toolkit] > [Download the latest full pack]

This will give you the latest FW (S124), IF NOT then it will give you the latest major update (S117 - S123), OR EVEN if not that then the latest incremental update that is a full package (S026 -S030) - assuming that you started from the lowest (K - 4.4.2 (S025)).

Also, just out of curiosity, you don't want it from 4pda nor cloud.mail.ru because your phone is having problems downloading from there or you don't trust those sources or some other reason?

I have S124 full pack (926 MB) and as an OTA pack (969 MB), both from cloud.mail.ru. If you want I could upload S124 (full or OTA) to Google Drive or OneDrive or 4shared (4shared account needed to download or sign-in with a social network account), or as an attachment here (if it allows me).

EDIT: I've uploaded S124 full pack to Google Drive - https://drive.google.com/uc?id=0B1Ee0JPRAllUcWRsYVY4eUliZW8&export=download

Now I'm super tired, been up since 5-30am.

EDIT 2: If you're looking for a stock ROM with a root directory structure like the custom ROMs that we download then I think OTA pack is the one you want. I'm uploading that now to Google Drive, should be done in about a hour.

EDIT 3: I've uploaded S124 OTA pack to Google Drive - https://drive.google.com/uc?id=0B1Ee0JPRAllUTUVsSlI0SFRRbGs&export=download

---------- Post added at 06:01 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:32 AM ----------

First you need to flash a custom recovery and then root by SuperSU (it has an .apk inside it). To do this, go to the first page, then click the 3rd and 4th [CLICK TO SHOW CONTENT] buttons to read the instructions.

Link for SuperSU: UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46.zip - https://drive.google.com/uc?id=0B_8qtSxtaHI7SU9OM29DUHQ4YjA&export=download

If that one doesn't work then try this one: https://drive.google.com/uc?id=0B-uqw2dE255KWFJNZUlzdmlHMXc&export=download

No, it won't brick your phone if you do it correctly. You can always unbrick your phone but do make sure you make a backup anyway.

[Android General] northwindtrades:
I don't know of any file that I can try replacing to fix these,sorry.

I think the Main problem with the ROM is that the cyanogen theme engine on a aosp based ROM is highly experimental ,so some apps are entitled to crash ocassionally.

If the problem persist ,switch to other Roms .

[Android General] northwindtrades:
Ajith has just released a cm12.1 temasek ROM bugless for kernel 3.10.xx .
[Android General] babigabi:
good news...doesn`t drain battery fast the ROM with this kernel?
[Android General] northwindtrades:
Our stock kernel 3.10.54 drains battery faster than 3.4.67 but the luck@s kernel 3.10.54 shows some improvement .

I'll try the kernel with RR 5.5.9 lollipop and see how it goes.
[Android General] 7awliet:
CyanogenMod 12.1 (Kernel 3.10.54+)

Well it's only of use to us if the kernel is 3.4.67 or 3.10.54, and with this being listed as 3.10.XX (ambiguities - which I already spoke about in my last couple of posts) it needs further inspection.

As you can tell by the post title, the only other screenshot provided by Ajit on his blog is the Settings info. screen, which shows that this is kernel 3.10.54:

[IMG="Temasek CM 12.1 MT6582 K-3.10.54+"]https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-YtrjTOwSyak/V2QnpDQUAkI/AAAAAAAAEkY/CV2-jcaNL58Zpaazf7ulyrqQDs_qUVOoACLcB/s1600/13442304_1157949144263981_1174197137143533367_n.jpg[/IMG]

More specifically, it says 3.10.54+, so I guess it could incorporate patches from higher kernel versions or work on kernels all the way up to 3.10.99 or even the max. Sublevel under kernel 3.10.XX which is 3.10.102. Though I don't know if it'll work on anything below kernel 3.10.54.

Also, it isn't the latest Lollipop build, though Ajit says "- Based on latest Sources" under ROM Features: http://www.mtkroms.com/2016/06/bugless-temasek-for-mt6582-lollipop-kernel.html

The xda-developers thread he linked to at the bottom of that list says it's no longer maintained as they've (Temasek) have moved to CM 13. The last post in that thread was May 9th 2016: http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s3/development/rom-temasek-s-unofficial-cyanogenmod-12-t3086689

As you can see from the screenshot above, it's based on Lollipop 5.1.1 LMY49G Release 34 (android-5.1.1_r34), but the latest is 3 builds above that - Lollipop LMY49J Release 37 (android-5.1.1_r37). So it must have been an old (but good) ROM. I mean, 3.10.54+ is a win, right?

Furthermore, if we're to use the as a base and finally catch a break, do you think we could port this to 6.0.1? If so, we should use Temasek's CM 13: http://www.mtkroms.com/2016/05/stable-temaseks-cm13-for-mt6582.html. It's a long shot but there's possibilities.

He also said in the intro. "This ROM has amazing battery life and is in a league of it's own.", so I guess there's no more worries about 3.10.54 battery drain, huh. Plus he says it's bugless - for a pretty old ROM, that's pretty good.

No worries, I had woken up and couldn't get back to sleep anyway :)

Charging the battery is kind of slow on MIUI 7, anyone else experiencing this?
[Android General] northwindtrades:
Yep I've found about four kernels with 3.10.54 .

And I think 3.10.54+ means the ROM is for kernel 3.10.54 onwards . I just tried a RR ROM that said 3.10.54+ with our custom kernel and it worked .

Everything went well except the ROM I ported was for dffrt spec phone and I ended up getting an inverted screen and low resolution and dpi ,I fixed them but the camera has a purplish tint which is source bug so I ended up scrapping it.

I'll upload a ROM with 3.10.54 kernel soon once I find a ROM for

Phone with same spec as ours
