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 :P

This is a pure android 6.0.1 and not a looklike rom.

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 4368248 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.
