i want ROM Lenovo A3500-HV or A5500

i want this rom to workfrom recovery not from computer because it is easier for me to install it from the recovery

Are you referring to Lenovo A3500HV Root,CWM,Flashtool Backup,ROM Dump,Scatterfile,Update.zip and Links
If not then please specify which Rom you are referring to. Typically Stock Firmware from Manufacturer can only be flashed via PC in Most of the cases. That is unless a developer has made a flashable version.

I want to update my tablet lenovo a5500 to the latest virson . this is the information you need . my tablet is rooted and i want to know why is the keyboard is very slow in writtting and my sister tablet lenovo a3500 is very fast in writting

Have you tried [APP] Themed Swiftkey Keyboard V12 ?
If not then that's good place to start. You do are aware, that there settings in Settings > Languages & Input to change the behaviour of your default keyboard right ? Sometimes if the associated dictionary is too big the keyboard may slow down.

Whata about the rom for lenovo a5500 because i can not update it . there is no option for updating such you see in the picture

Need stable CM rom. Please answer my question. thanks

Guys, i'm waiting for a fully cm rom for my grand 2 since a very long time. Please tell a bug free cm rom and paste the link and all detailed and necessary processes like i'm using G4 thailand version 4.3 jb. How to flash cm? what is the requiremeents? should i have to upgrade my official rom version to kitkat first before flashing? and most importantly, should i go for cm rom or stay at jelly bean?
Please comment with good details.
thanks.

Luckily one of the stable cm rom is cm12.1 rom and you need to root and install a custom recovery to enable to flash the rom. Just look at the developement thread to clarify this..

earlier my firmware was:-
Model- Grand 2 SM-G7102
Version- Android 4.4.2
Changelist 3250544
Build date- 13/02/2015
Product code- INU
PDA- G7102DDUBOB1
CSC- G7102DDUBOB1
but,
I flashed the rom cm 12.1 provided by mukulsoni. Earlier when i was on official stock rom then my phone's wifi mac address was E4:12:1D:E5:52E. but after flashing the cm 12.1 rom, it changes to 00:0a:f5:01:03:24.
As i'm registered with my original mac address to my university's wifi, i'm not able to access it (because now my phone shows different mac address).
So, i tried a method to change my mac address by editing it in 2 files via ESexplorer. But when i opened the 2 files to change the desired mac address, it shows me my original wifi mac address written there.
This amazed me that there in 2 files, its my original mac address written but in the SETTING, it shows different mac address. SO, what's the catch? What should i do?
So. please tell me how to restore it back my original mac address.?
2nd problem is:-
my DATE and TIME changes to 1 Jan 2014 and differt time on every boot. I ticked time to be changed by network. I watched videos and try to replace my time_daemon file form folder SYSTEM>BIN with another one but that too didnt work.
how do i fix this time issue?????
plz help.

Try to backup your wifi settings and the other settings that you want with Titanium backup & restore them right after you've flash a new ROM. This work for me everytime I flash new ROM.

4.0.2.A.0.62
Kernel:
2.6.32.9.-perf ....... [did not write the entire thing]
I never updated it ,
Now , I want
1.Make a Complete Recoverable Backup of my Current OS (2.3.4)
backup my original firmware , and stock OS . So that if in future i want to go back to it , i can just use that to go back . (i hope i am able to make you guys understand)
As far as my knowledge goes , i should need TWRP Recovery , or CWM Recovery or something similar . Correct me if i am wrong .
2.Unlock the Boot-loader and Root it.
3.Install Last Officially available update , Manually and Try it out
Which is the last officially updated version available ?
4.If i Like it then OK , if not then
i will Install other Custom ROMs or CM13
Q1. i heard that Many Custom ROMs dont have FM and Camera Functions ?
Which Custom ROM has all the functionality as the Stock One ?
and is based on most updated version of android ?
5.KERNEL.
I just CANT understand this one , please help me understand it
Does any of the above need the kernel to be replaced ? by some other kernel ?
I dont have much knowledge of kernel
...................................
Other Questions:
1.Why we are Flashing both .562 kernel .587 kernel one by one ?
Shouldn't we need only one ?
2. Can i update to Latest ICS via PC Companion and then root it ?
Will it affect anything ?
3.

Disadvantages
1. Warranty is void..gone.. ---------- No Problem
2. You cannot update using PCC or SUES( if you try them..then u'll get a message saying that the software is modified and it wont proceed) ---------- No Problem since no update will come in future
3. No more DRM(Digital Rights Management)..things like Trackid, music like..etc - I like TrackID , but TrackID works with any mobile isnt it ? so what will change ? in Track ID ?
And which Custom ROMs require Unlocked Bootloader ?
Does CM Require it ?
Please help how can i do these and please educate me about kernel too .
P.S.

I (still) own three of these phones: one MT11 and two MT15 models. They were good cheap phones. Sony is my favourite. Highly customizable. The dedicated forums are still available I think. The problem is that these phones don't have the ability to run modern applications. All the developers have moved on. If you don't need it as a daily use phone, it would be good to use it as a learning tool for flashing roms and skinning it. It takes a lot of time to read through all the posts. But the info is all there. Maybe someone will answer your questions sooner or later. Good luck with it.

U jst need to unlock ur bootloader and flash a custom kernel with recovey and flash ur desired rom ( there r some good one life miui v5 etc and aosp developement was prety good too at its time)
If u can manage to find the ftf files of orignal stock roms 2.3 & 4.04 u dont need to worry about any backup u can always roll backup to stock.
As far as my opinion go 2.3 is the best rom with good backup and smooth os battery suks on other roms.
Hope that answers ur questions

Currently my main problem is that the PC cant recognize the Mobile (Xperia Neo V)
the drivers that automatially got installed never gets installed without error and i still cant find out the reason , after a few tries now the dialogue box of installing drivers does not appear at all ,and the PC cant recognize my phone ,
Where can i get the best working drivers for Neo V ? (MT11i) ?
If any one of you have it please give a working set of drivers for PC Smartphone connectivity
and another odd thing that i noticed is that
the PC Companion that comes with the phone and gets installed when connected is
Basically as follows
Folders:
Languages - (28 Folders Inside)
Drivers - EMPTY
Graphics (2 Files - Graphics.zip, NewUI.zip)
Files:
Autorun.inf
Startme.exe
Is it same for you guys too ?
Why is the DRIVERS folder Blank ?
I think it should not be blank

There should be a drivers folder in the flashtool folder. Give THIS thread a read too as you're trying to run before you've even learned to walk.

Official rom for Lenovo Yoga 2-1050

Hello,
I need to reinstall my tablet and I searched a lot here about custom rooms, which does not exists on this device. Thats why I want to reinstall official rom/stock rom and I found at official lenovo site this: pcsupport.lenovo.com/us/en/products/tablets/yoga-series/yoga-tablet-2-1050/downloads/ds102874
Is this what I want and is possible to install this without flash? I cannot find any tutorial for this. And which format is that rar file at lenovo site? Need's to be "converted" to .img file?

Rooting and installing custom rom how to?

Hi all, I've looked around and tried my best to understand how to room and install a custom rom on my Xoom 2 but I can't find the files to do such job. Every time I would click the link for the tutorial to download the rom required, the page isn't found.
If someone could point me in the right direction with how to root and install a custom rom, I would much appreciate it.

I've found my old tablet and would like very much to update it, it's kind of useless now. I can't find the files aswell

It's a shame as its such a good tablet. I only want to use it for web browsing and sitting in bed watching Youtube or Twitch, but with Youtube, when I launch the app It sends me to the play store as there is a updated version, but it won't let me update it.
So I assume that the tablet's software is too old and that's why I wanted to install a more up to date rom.
Hopefully someone will step forward and give us the help and the right direction to the files needed

Same here
I would like to flash a custom ROM to a Xoom 2 Media Edition (MZ607) because some important apps won't open in the stock Android 4.0.4. It looks like some people had developed ROMs for it to run Android 5.1 (or 5.1.1), but I am not able to find this ROM. If someone knows where this ROM is supposed to be, I will be very grateful! I rooted it with Kingoroot but this won't get me any far without a ROM...
