RR_5.8.5 (Android 7.1.2) for A5500-F

I've found RR_5.8.5 (Android 7.1.2) for A5500-F.
Source: http://4pda.ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=613221&st=2660#entry77359407
I tested this firmware and it works.

How to install

Step 1 - you need a root access for your curent Android 4.4.2
If you don't have it - use KingoRoot (https://root-apk.kingoapp.com/)

Step 2 - enable USB Debugging on your tablet
https://www.howtogeek.com/125769/how-to-install-and-use-abd-the-android-debug-bridge-utility/ - how to do it.

Step 3 - make a backup of your nvram partition
Put file "nvram_backup.bat" to a folder where adb.exe located and run it.
The nvram.img file should appear.

Step 4 - we need to install TWRP
http://4pda.ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=613221&st=1260#entry51099944 -
download recovery.img ( 10.94 MB ) version A5500F_A442_000_029_150408_ROW

Step 5 - flash recovery
Put files "recovery.img" and "flash_recovery.bat" to a folder with adb.exe and run it.

Now you have a working TWRP and you can do a backup of android 4.4.2, if you wish revert to it later.

Step 6 - download all the necessary files:
https://yadi.sk/d/aXkdww3Y3aFmq3 - RR_5.8.5_A7600H_23.07.2018.zip
http://4pda.ru/forum/dl/post/12584498/FIX_START_RR_5.8.5_A5500F.zip.zip - fix for A5500-F
https://opengapps.org/ - select "arm"- "7.1" - and any variant you want. (I've selected pico, because the little RAM)

Put them to SDCard (or if you have the OTG cable, you can use ordinary usb flash drive)

Step 7 - boot tablet to TWRP recovery
You can do it by adb with command: "adb reboot recovery"
Or turn off the tablet, press Volume Up + Power buttons and select "recovery" when asked.

Step 8 - wipe and reboot to recovery again
Wipe - Advanced wipe.
Wipe Cache, Data, System, Dalvik Art cache.

When finished, press back and select "Reboot" - "Recovery". (don't skip this step)

Step 9 - flashing
1 - install "RR_5.8.5_A7600H_23.07.2018.zip". Don't reboot when finished, press back button.
2 - install "FIX_START_RR_5.8.5_A5500F.zip". Don't reboot when finished, press back button.
3 - install "open_gapps-arm-7.1-pico-20200530.zip".

Finally you can reboot. Press back button and select "Reboot" - "System"

First start takes a long time (~2 minutes) - this is normal.
Do not think that the tablet is hung, wait until it is fully loaded.

Congrats! You done it.

PS:
I put all files in one archive and upload it to mega:
https://mega.nz/file/eGYUWQBJ#oKJp-fW-cuWCqgGiAEHdT9f5Ea1pl3x83McNrYk1URQ

UPDATE:
Found a problem - a quiet sound. To solve this, you need to install the Dolby ATMOS application (dap_r6.5.zip) from here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/devdb/project/?id=9817#downloads
Installation must be done via TWRP in recovery mode. It fixed a problem for me.

OK, so I have figured out this tablet... .
So to install custom ROM on it do:

Install kingroot apk(on the website)

Root it using that

Install twrp official app(on the website)

Flash the recovery.IMG(on the website)

Download a ROM from there: https://balazs-kokai.github.io/

Download the fix-boot.zip from the website

Reboot to recovery using twrp app or hardware buttons

Wipe: Dalvik ART Cache, Cache, Data, System

Install the ROM what you downloaded

After that install fix-boot.zip

Install gapps (additional)

Reboot and enjoy!

    I can't get into recovery or fastboot mode... :(
    Click to expand...
    Click to collapse

    You need to flash correct "boot.img" (and if TWRP is still not working - "recovery.img") with SP Flash Tool
    After that you should be able to boot into TWRP and flash "Fix".

    Step 1: Download this:
    https://mega.nz/file/OHJigICI#J2H0UsbMaZ6xvKzslxYbNTS7fGsxX80EAewQclECpmU - SP_Flash_Tool_with_scatter_boot_recovery.zip

    Step 2: Restoring boot.img
    1 - run SP Flash Tool v5.1708
    2 - after "Scatter-loading File" press "choose" button and select "MT6582_scatter_LVP6-WIFI-ROW.1.013.00.txt"
    3 - press Ctrl + Alt + V.
    4 - in main menu check "Window" -> "Write Memory".
    5 - switch to Write Memory tab
    6 - in "File path" select a path to "boot.img" file. (it's inside "SP Flash Tool v5.1708" folder)
    7 - in "Begin Address (HEX)" put 0x3180000

    It should look like this:
    https://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=5034707&stc=1&d=1591430510

    The tablet must be turned off and usb cable is disconnected.

    8 - press the "Write Memory" button and connect usb cable.
    Dont push any tablet buttons. You should see that SP Flash Tool is working. It will show a window with a green circle when finished.

    Step 3: Flashing
    Now you should be able to use Volume Up + Power and boot to "recovery".
    Boot to TWRP and flash "FIX_START_RR_5.8.5_A5500F" and "gapps" from the first archive.

    Reboot, wait for long first load and it should be working.

    PS: I use windows version, don't know about linux. On linux you need to find a working version of SP Flash Tool, get these files:
    MT6582_scatter_LVP6-WIFI-ROW.1.013.00.txt
    boot.img
    recovery.img
    and use it the same way.

    Don't worry, everything is reversible.
    You should not have rebooted without flashing "FIX". (Sorry, it seems my flaw - I had to emphasize this in the manual. Fixed it.)

    The right sequence is:
    1) install "RR_5.8.5_A7600H_23.07.2018.zip". Don't reboot when finished, press back button.
    2) install "FIX_START_RR_5.8.5_A5500F.zip". Don't reboot when finished, press back button.
    3) install "open_gapps-arm-7.1-pico-20200530.zip". And finally you can reboot.


    Ok, we need to fix the tablet now.

    First of all, please check if you can boot to recovery or fastboot mode.
    - power off the tablet (by holding Power button, until it power off)
    - press and hold Volume Up + Power buttons. You should see the dialog with boot options "Recovery/Fastboot/Normal".

    If you do not see such a dialog, we try in a different way.
