Hi
I tried to port Lollipop to our thl 4000 using this tutorial http://www.mtkroms.com/2015/08/install-real-lollipop-on-all-mtk.html with resurrection remix rom
It works almost all
Bugs so far:
-Camera (Only rear, and no video record)
-2g works, 3g no service. (Only SIM1 data)
-Radio FM not sound
I dont renember any other, Wifi, Bluetooth, Games, Audioetc works

For install it, first download this rom http://www.mtkroms.com/2015/07/resurrection-remix-lollipop-rom-for-mt6582.html
Then download my patch (v4b 26/08/2015) https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B6ydSl9VOrADNDhnZi1rQmFvWU0
Go to recovery. Make wipes. Install rom, and then install my patch

A bit tweaked and deleted things for be faster

Sorry my friend, I have no idea in bugs fixing.
I tested your lollipop ROM and I can confirm this is the best lollipop ROM for our THL 4000.
3G Works fine on both voice and data.
Camera can't connect at all as you mentioned already.
USSD codes not working(Dialer).
Can't show Contacts on SIM.
Only SIM1 can connect to Data as you mentioned.
Network Data connection Goes off anytime.
Network signal goes off when one is busy.
FM force stop.
Developers option force stop after disabling it.
Engineering Mode force stop.
Can't set Ringer tone for SIM2.
Your ROM is nice,I hope developers will look into this topic and help us solve these bugs.

Network signal off when busy¿?
For me Network data works, but only in 2g (maybe you have to enter in dialer -> *#*#4636#*#* and select "only GSM" option)
Contacts of SIM, I dont have any, but maybe is it a option to enable it in the contacts apk
USSD, I dont used it ever :eek:

Yes..It can be good if anyone knows anything related to fix that bugs..
I contacted with the dev of official LP rom, but he doesnt like sharing things with people..

Good, Can't send SMS too.
Wait,you mean the developer for LP didn't respond to you? He should at least give a helping hand.
Meaning this THL 4000 ROM is a real lollipop ROM and can install lollipop based applications?

What's the size of your boot.img you used to modify the ROM? Is it 16mb? or 5mb?
How did you port the zimage and kernel?
or you didn't port with zimage and kernel?

I will try when he upload it, thanks :)

Is 5.2 Mb or similar. But if you extract kernel from phone with dd or similar, maybe stock kernel will size 16 Mb, but when you redo the kernel, will be 5.2+-

The port is extracting the stock kernel, and the port kernel, and putting the stock zImage in port, and then using it (My english is bad..I hope you understood me)

OK,I understand you well but I am confuse. The boot.image 5mb different from the kernel file which is 4mb. Now,after getting the kernel file from stock ROM,where or which folder in the port ROM should I place the kernel file in?

And can you upload your modified boot.img for me? I can't extract and replace the kernel from stock boot.img to the port boot.img
Thanks.

New patch v3b has fix for camera (rear) and flashlight, thanks to the another rom that have it
For me I can send SMS good (SIM1, I only have 1 sim) , only big bug is 3g (and radio FM, that I think is of dev not correctly initialized)
