Never tested with lollipop bootloader/modem. Anyway you can flash marshmallow ones, you can extract them from official firmware or install them from the link in the thread with odin

Otherwise if u don't want to wait u can modify the script by yourself, maybe search on internet....

I tried to install on my A500M, but not works, stucks in bootanimation. I think is because the modified updater-script i used from CyanogenMod 13.

---

I will wait for a5h release. Am far away from my computer.

You have to use a working template, otherwise it will not boot. PS cm13 contains the same script as this. Use the pacrom one

The only bug I found is screen rotation not working and cellular data not working (but I don't know if I've finished cellular data or if it is a bug)
