I've followed two guides to setup CWM Recovery and trying to root my phone but both do not work when I try to boot into recovery mode it just shows an exclamation point and the little android guy and when I try rooting when I get to the adb shell step it says device not found even though i have all the drivers that I need installed what am I doing wrong here it shouldn't be this hard to root this phone or install CWM recovery. Help would be much appreciated!
nvm I figured it out
Umm what'd you do? Im having same problem!
sounds like he forgot to activate usb debugging.
settings>apps>Devel>USB debugging.
yeah its short hand but i think you can figure it out

Did you ever figure out the problem? I am having the same issue where I can not access "Android Recovery -CWM" or the RSD Protocol Support Mode. Also, when trying to use the RSD support mode the phone is never recognized by the computer. I have tried changing motorola drivers, resetting the phone, and rooting/unrooting and also a different computer. Any suggestions???
Hello there,
I am trying to install CWM Recovery with Heimdall on my phone (GT-I9300) following the Cyanogenmod tutorial available on wiki.cyanogenmod.org/index.php?title=Install_CM_for_i9300
All went fine during the process to flash the phone with the recovery image, however when I start the phone using volume up, home button and power button simultaneously, it starts on the stock recovery software.
I am using Win 7 with heimdall and I followed exactly the steps described at wiki.cyanogenmod.org/index.php?title=Install_CM_for_i9300
I also did another try with a more recent image of CWM without anymore success. You will find attached the heimdall log in the cmd console.
As suggested in the tutorial I did not root my phone.
Did I miss a step to launch the CWM instead of the stock recovery tool or did I do something wrong ?
Thank you in advance for your help !
You need to boot into Download mode, not recovery. In the guide you linked to it says:
Boot the Galaxy S III into download mode by holding down Home & Volume Down & Power while connecting via USB.

Thank you for your response !
In fact I already did that step and I had no problem with it.
Sorry if I was no clear enough.
Here is what I have done exactly :
1) Download koush's ClockworkMod Recovery, and the Heimdall Suite (for windows)
2) Power off the Galaxy S III and connect the USB adapter to the computer but not to the Galaxy S III
3) Boot the Galaxy S III into download mode by holding down Home & Volume Down & Power while connecting via USB
4) Untar koush's ClockworkMod Recovery into the Heimdall directory
5) On the computer, open a terminal and run the following command from the Heimdall directory: heimdall flash --recovery recovery.img
7) A blue transfer bar will appear on the device showing the recovery being transferred. Once completed, the device will reboot automatically.
8) The Galaxy S III now has ClockworkMod Recovery installed. Continue to the next section.
So according to the tutorial ClockworkMod Recovery should be installed. But when I try to boot the phone using CWM, the phone boot in the stock recovery mode. Indeed in the recovery mode, at the top of the screen it is written "Android system recovery <3e>" instead of something like "ClockworkMod Recovery". Moreover in this recovery mode I do not have the option "Install zip from sdcard".
Sorry, I misunderstood you. Don't know the solution, wait for someone more qualified
Use Odin and flash the recovery.
Edit- Check this- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1695238
Ok thanks you it works.
I had to uninstall the driver installed by Heimdall for Odin to detect the phone. Except that all was ok.
However, it would have been great to be able to put CWM Recovery on the phone without rooting it !

You can do that by following this guide

But why?
I didn't want to root the phone only because I don't need the root access!
Thank you for your link, I'll use it someday when I need to change the android rom of another device!
As the title suggests, I tried every suggested methods and googled to look for one, but still cannot find the way.
I need to root it to use ntfs microSD and USB.
Thank for any reply.
Hi!
Look the post of admin! work succesfully! My tab's rooted!
download rkbatchtool and adb in windows. Then type adb reboot bootloader.
Install drivers RK30 then your tablet is recognize by windows .
Start rkbatchtool (green icon normally).
Click on restore and Done!
Peace.

Well, thanks for the reply, vinksan.
BTW, my problem is I cannot get into recovery mode.
I tried all method mentioned but still it boots into normal mode.
I believe that once I can get into recovery mode I can go on.
RKbatchTool also needs recovery mode.

No rkbatchtool need Bootloader not recovery mode.... So type this command in adb :
$adb reboot bootloader then connect your tab in usb and your tab will recognize by RKbatchtool.
it's work for me

just install this file
Hi Guys, i wanted to root my 80 XS.
I found this rooted file that can be found on arctablet.com/blog/downloads/firmware/Archos/Gen10/kasty-archos_80xs-41-20121130-rooted.zip. (say thanks to Admin on Arctablet for this)
Unzip the file (it 's called update.img) and copy it to the the primary partition of the tablet via the USB connection. After removing the USB cable, the tablet will ask if you want to install this new software. Say yes. The tablet will reboot into an android recovery. After restarting, your tablet will be rooted.
happy rooting!!

This is by far the easiest way to do.
My computer cannot see Archos, so I have to use FilePush to send the image file to Archos.
Then, reboot and voila!!

I'm trying to root my sons phone because of the stupid SD card issues and lack of internal storage. I searched high and low (I thought?) both here and via Google searches but couldn't find anything specific for this firmware version. I am a bit of a noob to this rooting thing, though, so maybe that's it... I tried using this guide here but it didn't work. I'd click restore but the phone would never reboot. It would just briefly say "restore started" then "restore ended" and that would be it. Is there a guide anywhere specific to this firmware? I know it's fairly new-ish. He's using JB 4.1.2, if that makes a difference. Thanks in advance for your assistance.

You should search for "root" in L9 General or FAQ forum, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2511695
What worked for me
What is required:
-Phone drivers
-Fastboot (You'll find it in fastboot drivers directorium) and adb
-Fastboot drivers
-Recovery.img (I'd recommend cwm touch, because on my phone twrp has issueswith restoring backups)
-Zip that will root your phone (copyed to external SD card)
Instructions:
1. Install mobile phone drivers
2. Install fastboot drivers
3. Extract ADB
4. In terminal type adb devices to check if your phone is recognised as adb device
5. Type adb oem-unlock (terminal)
==================
Phone reboots to bootloader
==================
6. Read whats on screen
7. If you want to unlock bootloader push vol+
=================
If everything worked as it was supposed, phone will be recognised as fastboot device
=================
8. Type fastboot devices to check if phone is recognised propperly
9. Type fastboot flash (boot) recovery "path_to_your_recovery.img" (flash if you want to change your recovery with cwm/twrp, and boot if you just want to use custom recovery this time)
9.1. Turn off your phone and boot to recovery by holding vol+ home and power, when phone vibrates release just the power button, when you see logo of cwm/twrp release everything*
10. Flash the .zip
11. Reboot phone
*Skip this step if you used boot instead of flash
**All credits go to Cmahendra for submiting the guide
Thanks guys! That second one worked like a charm. I thought I'd searched properly but I guess not.
was it difficult? im not really savy at this .

Was easy as pie, actually! I'm pretty new to this too, just follow the instructions exactly. In order to install the phone drives on my PC, all I did was plug my phone into the computer via USB and it prompted all the installations I needed.
Hi all!!
This is for all the people who managed to softbrick (or hardbrick) their Lenovo Tab 3 8' (TB3-850F) tablets!
All you will need link, at the end of the post. I don't know for how long it will be up, but you can use it for now.
By the way.... Should you find something useful here... please hit the thanks button in the end
A. Unbrick
This requires flashing a clean stock rom. You will need:
a. stock rom for the TB3-850F (Google is you friend )
b. Sp Flashtool (you can download from their official site). From there, also download the MediaTek USB VCOM drivers and Driver Auto Installer v1.1236.00 (or any latest version).
Steps:
1. Install the windows drivers you downloaded
Note : If you encounter problems installing Windows drivers in Windows 10, google how to install unsigned drivers in Win10
2. Open the folder you extracted SP Flashtool and run it as administrator.
3. Unzip the rom file you downloaded.
4. Inside the folder of your unzipped rom file, look for a file similar to XXXXXXXXXX_scatter_file.txt
5. Load this in the SP Flashtool (click downlad tab, then scatter loading, load this file in there. It should load your rom you will see some colours, etc...
The tricky part:
Assuming you have correctly installed the drivers:
1. turn off the device (well if bricked it is turned off all ready) just make sure, and in SP Flashtool click options and 'with battery'.
2. Click the green download button on SP Flashtool.
3. Hold down the Vol down key on your device and connect it to a usb port.
4. If you see a red line and continue to yellow, all is probably good! Don't let go of the vol - button until yellow line reaches 100%
B. Root and TWRP recovery
This requires that you have or download:
a. platform tools (adb and fastboot)
b. a twrp.img (image file) for the lenovo TB3-850F copied to external SD Card and platform tools folder (google is... useful )
c. latest supersu.zip (flashable) copied to an external SD CARD
d. busybox.apk
Steps:
1. Grab tablet, go to settings ---> about tablet ---> click version number 7 times to enable developer options
2. From settings again click developer options and enable OEM Unlocking and usb debugging
3. Navigate in the platform tools folder. While holding SHIFT right click and select open commandline here (or similar)
4. Connect tablet to PC and in the command line issue: adb devices
If a weird number shows up and says device on the left you are all good to continue.
5. Now on the command prompt again issue: adb reboot bootloader
Your tablet should now reboot to fastboot (big Android, laying down)
6. Issue command: fastboot oem unlock (also check tablet screen for confirmation)
Wait a little bit and reboot your tablet. (should work with holding the power key down for a little longer than 10 seconds. If not hold down volume key and power button for the same amount of time - tested and working)
**At this point it is ESSENTIAL to leave the tablet to fully boot. The bootloader unlock triggers a FACTORY RESET which you must leave to complete and set up your tablet from the beginning.
** It is also ESSENTIAL to complete the boot and set up cycle because, after the automatic factory reset you will need to RE-ENABLE developer options and usb debugging. Once you are done continue to 7.
7. In the platform tools folder copy the twrp.img (you should have downloaded earlier, check upwards... )
8. Open the command line again and type:
a. adb reboot bootloader
b. fastboot boot twrp.img
** This will load up TWRP recovery only for this boot time.
****BE EXTRA CAUTIUS TO -NOT- ALLOW twrp to make modifications. Essential! Should you do otherwise go back to how to unbrick your tablet.
9. Choose install, and install supersu.zip.
10. Choose reboot to system and allow complete boot cycle! Essential!
11. Your tablet should now be rooted. However to succesfully flash the twrp recovery you need to have Busybox installed. Download as .apk and install it (at the time of writing this I believe Busybox 54 is the latest version).
12. Once installed back to the windows terminal and issue:
a. adb reboot bootloader
b. fastboot boot twrp.img
ONCE AGAIN - DO -NOT- ALLOW twrp to make modifications!!!!!
13. From you external SD Card install twrp.img, select recovery when prompted.
14. Reboot to system and enjoy!!!!
Note : Install an app that makes it easy to boot to recovery. (I personally use root essentials - Trying the combination keys did nothing for me, or just poped up the chinese options menu. That does not mean the recovery has not been installed correctly. Booting to recovery from rootessential menu, boots straight to twrp)
All you will need and credits:

Results:
(it is in Greek, but you get the idea )
Hope I have helped! Happy playing with the commands and whole process! :good:
Lastly, if you get stuck at any point, you can either use this thread or PM me for further advice, explanation and/or any kind of assistance.
Note: Special thanks to @MotoJunkie01 for actually taking the time to further help people on this thread, as unfortunately I do not currently have the time to do so myself. It is worth checking out @MotoJunkie01 's threads also. There, you can find very useful and updated information.

Thank you for the encouragement. I am in hopes that we can eventually get a dedicated device forum for the tb3-850f. I truly believe this tablet has the potential for plenty of future development.
@r&xp I love you so much, I was in the same predicament as you and you helped get my tablet running again. Just wanted to mention, I had to hold volume down when plugging in the USB for the SPFT step instead of volume up. THANK YOU AGAAAAAAAAAAIN <3

Just an update, since damaging my TB3-850F, I have since ordered another unit from Office Depot which is due to be delivered Monday or Tuesday. Once it arrives, I'll finish my TWRP flashable stock 6.0 ROM for this device and start back on the modified stock ROM.

Looking forward to it. I picked mine up from walmart just yesterday for using as a google maps/car media center
My Lenovo Tab 3 replacement finally arrived in the mail. I'll be picking up where I left off on compiling both unmodified stock and custom stock-based ROMs for this tablet.
On my modified stock based ROM, I'm considering the implementation of Substratum (Root Ver) for theming, but I would like to get the input of other device owners first. So far, I have debloated, deodexed and zipaligned the OS. I am including the modified/patched boot image with SuperSU v2.79 SR3 binaries installed for systemless root, Nova Launcher, Pixel Icon Pack, BusyBox v1.26.2 binaries pre-injected in /su/xbin/, and Kernel Adiutor-Mod installed in /system/apps/ for user defined adjustments to the stock kernel and governors.
You guys please give me input on what you would like included in the ROM. Thanks

Try again to get TWRP installed to your /recovery partition or, alternatively, try to simply boot into TWRP from fastboot with the fastboot boot twrp.img command. It is common for members to experience some difficulty in installing custom recovery on this device. It has been my experience that most members are successful the second time around.
Thanks MotorJunkie!! But mine after was saved from brick from this thread, i was rooted it also by your instructions from other thread.. Now the gps from GoogleMap doesn't determine the location (even the location already turned on ) ... Plus i couldn't check the systemupdate ( it says connection network failed even i was connecting to wifi already) ...
What should i do, or do you know how to fix it?

System updates (OTAs) won't install on rooted operating systems. To install an OTA, you must have unmodified stock /boot, /system, and /recovery partitions installed. On the GPS issue, go to Settings, Apps, and ensure Google Maps has been granted location access permission.
Hi ...
I followed this guide but during the unbricking' I unplugged the device from USB (since I could not see any input on device or indication in SP Flash Tool).
Now the device will not turn on at all (previously I would see the Lenovo Logo splash screen but then it would just stay at this screen. Now i do not see anything).
When I plug into computer by USB, it causes my computer to freeze up (Windows 10).
Any ideas or is this now completely bricked? (hard bricked).

It sounds like a hard brick. I can't speak for the OP, @r&xp on this, so you may want to get his advice. Have you tried the OP's methods of using your hardware buttons for forcing the device into adb/fastboot recognition? I think this is your only chance of recovering it. By it not powering on, from my experience, a bootloader or bootloader dependent partition has been corrupted, thus hard bricking the tablet.

Have you tried the OP's methods of using your hardware buttons for forcing the device into adb/fastboot recognition? I think this is your only chance of recovering it. By it not powering on, from my experience, a bootloader or bootloader dependent partition has been corrupted, thus hard bricking the tablet.

Hello, I'll weigh in on this one. There are multiple threads above the TB3-850F on this forum and also another forum.
I initially followed a different thread and instructions which caused my problem. Notably do not allow TWRP write access !!! This mistake caused the soft-brick.
Anyone following any other advice about TB3-850F or downloading any other image BEWARe. Only follow the advice in this thread by r&xp:

Following this advice I now restored original image and then rooted in just a few hours.. Thank you r&xp for the good advice. :laugh:
