    I'll try wiping everything and start from scratch. There's nothing on the device I'm worried about losing. I tried looking at the permissions. The web browser didnt have access to Storage, but it didnt seem to make a difference even after changing that. The default file manager didnt have any...

    Post [ROM] [MT6582] [MM] Unofficial Resurrection Remix 5.7.4 for Lenovo A3500

    Got it working Hey, I actually got this working by using a newer version of TWRP to the one attached under the CWM link in the original post. The link is to v2.8 (I think), but once I installed TWRP v3+ I was able to install the ROM no problem. Since then I've installed RR 5.8 which is based on...
