Does it have otg support ?
Yes it does have now. But we’ve not tested it personally yet.
Rooting is impossible for now. I think that was very important for mentioning, but nevermind. After update to Lollipop the flashing of custom CWM recovery won’t work. Is there anybody that knows a way for rooting a Lollipop?
I use king root. it works.
still try custom recovery, but no luck
Wait till tomorrow.
Do not worry I will update both the TWRP recovery and root. I’ve rooted mine as of now.

Just to confirm, can I directly flash this like a normal rom in cwm?
Yes directly you can do. If you face status error problem, just reboot your device.
What should be in the root first?
What should be in the root first ? Thank you
You don’t need to root your device to update it to lollipop. Just put the zip file on your SD card and then boot to recovery > install from SD Card. That’s it!
for everyone having the status 14 error open the zip file, extract “system.zip” file and flash that file
Just reboot and you’ll get Lollipop.
no you dont understand, u just cant flash the whole file u need to extract “system.zi” flash that then flash your country’s file like “india.ota.zip” and this isnt even the problem, you cant revert back to kitkat after this as u cant flash a custom recovery once u update.
Are you saying that if I update I can never I can never flash a custom recovery ever again and in that case I can never flash a custom ROM? And I will be stuck with Lollipop forever?
It doesn’t matters in my case. I flashed the entire zip. It worked and pretty much for others.
why dont u try reverting back to kit kat once? i really dont think u even tried updating the phone yourself and the rom isnt smooth at all
Yes true indeed the rom isn’t smooth at all. But if you remove the bloatwares and disable the unwanted google apps then you can get better performance.
any bug??
Lags on Lenovo A6000 a little bit but you can remove the bloatwares and get 500 MB ram free. Works like charm on Lenovo A6000 Plus.

Reboot is the solution. Lollipop has been upgraded. Just reboot the device.
I had same problem but after reboot I have no recovery mode. Whwen I trying to start recovery it stuck. Any hep?
It means that you can’t flash custom recovery, and you can root the phone for now. Maybe soon someone will solve this problem.
What about A6000 Plus … eagerly waiting for that .
Use it, its for both.
The update did not work for me. I got an error 14. I follow all the instruction correctly. Are you sure that the .zip is untouched?
Yes it is untouched. Just reboot.
I did reboot. The phone is just resetted and is still on KitKat.
