Hello XDA-DEV community.
First off, as you can tell from my join date, I am a newbie to android devices, but I am experienced in flashing and installing ROMs for my friends. There are a few questions I want to ask and hope it will be answered.
1. I am using LENOVO A516 phone, as far as I know this phone is made in china and there is no custom rom on this forum (yet, maybe?) I even tried to search my device on the "type to find your device" box and my phone model is not listed.
2. I understand that this phone uses a MTK65xx bootloader, so if there is a rom for another phone that uses the same bootloader, will my device be flashable with the rom?
3. Is there anyway I can make my own custom rom for my phone? I'm thinking of making a custom KitKat rom for this phone as Lenovo does not provide firmware upgrades.
Thank you very much to anyone that is willing to answer these questions. I am irritated by the lack of customer support Lenovo has, hence the decision to make my custom rom.

Hi there. Any comments on A516 especially regarding its small amount of RAM. Is it okay and running smooth? I'm asking because two of my friends want to get this model and they are asking for my advice on that.
Thank you in advance.

Hey guys how to root this phone
lenovo a516 not working
Hi . I have a huge prob...My phone is not working.
I just wanted to change my launcher from kit lat launcher (from google play) to othe original lenovo launcher installed in the phone...
Then a dialog box appeared: "lenovo.ideapad is not responding"
I hit ok but the still got the same error .
I turned it off. When it powers on, it is just stuck with the boot logo.. I can only see the animation logo of lenovo...
All I can access is meta mode which is all in "Chinese" so I can't understand a thing.
I have no idea how this happened all of a sudden.
Can I still restore it?
Please help.
Thank you.

I think its not possible to transfer app to sd with this kind of ROM ("app2sd not supported" this notification will pop up if u try to transfer app+data to sd card. I experienced this many times when i try installing app2sd etc.. i do experiment with a lot of app in appstore but nothing works)
BUT then after i flash my phone to a custom ROM (allegro ROM) my problem solved even the app storage thing?the primary storage before is phone. NOW it will become ur SD card is primary storage. i hope i can help u as much as possible. the reason im doing this comment is because at first im so regretful buying this phone. it has too many problems haha (in my opinion) anyway .. just pm me or reply on this comment i'll try my best to help u too. p.s RAM problem also solved.

More details could be required, Not all Supersu are suitable for this device so it refuses to boot.
I guess that you have a custom recovery like TWRP/OF/RW, if this is the case come back to it and search for supersu uninstaller zip and flash it, better use Magisk that is in constant development, version 17,1 is the last stable and it worked for me on all roms.

And what about details? What recovery are you using?, what android version?, are you sure that your device is Redmi 5 Plus and dont Redmi Note 5 Pro?.
Format data likely will solve the issue but just blindly without details trying to guide you.
I'm stuck at bootloop after trying to install Magisk on GSI rom. Device is not booting to system. So far I've tried stock fastboot rom which is available at guide section. Unofficial Lineage os, Havoc OS, all possible combination of stock boot image, los boot image and both the version of vbmeta (one which is available at fastboot stock rom, other with Lineage os).
No matter what i try it boots back to recovery.
So all I have left to try is somehow get stock recovery and flash stock rom ozip file to get the device up and running again.
If andyone can make a backup image or zip of stock recovery for Realme XT it will be really helpful for me and for others as well.
