Resurrection Remix install procedure

Thanks for posting this. Wonder if you could help me out? I'm trying to install this ROM on a A3500f. It's fresh out of the box with a Stock ROM with no modifications, not rooted etc.
I used the downloads provided, flashed CWM via SPFT. All worked well.
I saved Resurrection Remix 5.7.4 to external SD card.
Booted into recovery and selected install Resurrection Remix Zip
After a few seconds it returned to menu. When I tried to reboot it says "No OS Installed! Are you sure you wish to reboot?"
Once reboot it just hangs on the very initial Lenovo splash screen and there's no way to turn the device off until the battery has fully drained.
Am I missing a step? Does the device need to be rooted before I attempt this. Apologies I'm a noob.

Hello,
Thanks for your work on this ROM.

Unfortunately, I have the same problem as @BobToss on a A3500-F model.
I noticed that after installing the RR zip, I have a "unable to mount /system" on TWRP logs. Sounds like the archive corrupts the file system.

Any help would be really apreciated.

Regards

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 Android 7 and seems much better.

Hey, can I ask you for screen shots from this rom?
What version of twrp recovery do you use?
Will this rom work on lenovo a3500-fl?
Can I ask you for versions of this rom and flashable pack?
What are the bugs?
Please answer.

Does this rom works for Lenovo A3500-HV ?

 

[Noob9496]

Does this rom works for Lenovo A3500-HV ?

Probably yes. I have lenovo a3500-fl and this rom work. I have cwm recovery for lenovo a3500-hv on a3500-fl and it's work.

Just do not use any application to block ads. Some pages do not work, for example xda forum.

I didn't find any more bugs.

That means that I can install it on my Lenovo A3500-HV without any problems and what are the bugs ?
And what are you meaning by do not use application to block ads. Some pages do not work for example xda forum.

I use this rom every day. the camera works without a problem. I do not know if this rom will work on lenovo a3500-hv. if you have a custom recovery, do a backup. in recovery there may be errors during installation. wait for the installation to finish. rom should work normally. the first start can last 10 minutes. the entire installation process takes 30 minutes. most importantly, after making a backup copy, do factory resest / data reset and wipe cache.
Install rom from sdcard!

This problem is not so persistent, 5 GB of memory is enough for normal use. The external memory cards should work. On my tablet, the lenovo a3500-fl sd card works fine.

 

[joekerr00]

a silly question is this for the A7-40 A3500-FL or A7-50 A3500-H A3500-HV?
and one more how different is this rom to the RESURRECTION REMIX-M 5.7.4 for A3500-H from 4pda
is it the same rom or a completely new build I'm asking as I was playing around with the 4pda build a few months ago and I noticed the kernel is not the same as the a3500-Fl so it needed a rebuild of the boot image ?


I opened the updater-script from META-INF\com\google\android\updater-script
and this is what it reads

ui_print("RESURRECTION ROM");
ui_print("========================================");
ui_print("Девайс: Lenovo A3500-H");
ui_print("Прошивка: Resurrection Remix v5.7.4");
ui_print("OS Android: MarshMallow 6.0.1");
ui_print("Портировал - 4.4.2 KitKat");
ui_print("Всем Респект И Уважуха");
ui_print("========================================");

I'm right to think that this is taken from 4pda, have all the postbuild patches been applied?
I'm not posting links to the 4pda page but just to be clear is this the same 5.7.4 rom or has something been added to it?

Yes, it is the same rom. Works normally on tablets listed by you.

I downloaded both images and did a folder compare I noticed that the 4pda version had 2 extra apk's MX Player Pro and BusyBox Pro (which are obsolete by now and not really needed) also the adway shipped in this image is uncompatible with fdroid's build so you can't get auto updates I removed that one too and installed AdAway from fdroid maybe the OP can replace AdAway with a build from fdroid
https://f-droid.org/en/packages/org.adaway/
maybe even include f-droid
I also added these 2 lines to system\build.prop

ro.radio.noril=1
persist.radio.noril=1

use it to remove the no sim icon this is for FL models only as they are wifi only devices A3500-H and HV have a sim tray so this might break their functionality
two annoyances got me back on kitkat
#1 I couldn't install SuperSu from TWRP which wants to install systemlessly but can't find the boot image so flashing fails
#2 because SELinux is set to permissive I can't get pass google's safety net
does anybody know how to install supersu in these cm13 (android 6) images, I can live without safety net but it really annoys me

ps
also the radio didn't work for me I got a not available at the moment error, can someone confirm the radio works or not , the 4pda thread has a fixed radio zip but for the older RR-5.7.3 I haven't tested that apk

This is an unofficial rom, there is nothing to expect that everything will work as it should, adaway would work normally and supersu too. I will note that I no longer use this rom because I am used to android kitkat. I do not like the newer system any more. It looks nice but it is not very comfortable for me.

 

[puszekkk]

It is modified RR5.7.4 from 4pda with deleted cracked apps. About that systemless root: If you are using my TWRP 3 build, I've forgotten to add Boot to fstab. I can't fix it because I sold this tablet to my friend and bought SGS4 a month ago because my phone has broken completely.

Sim is not detecting... Somebody please help
