Hello XDA,
Does anyone know how to root the Lenovo P700? It is on ICS 4.0.3. It seems to be a big brother of the A750 which already has root and custom ROM, but the only possibility is in a chinese language forum (bbs.lenovomobile.com).
If not, does anyone have a link to the stock ROMs so I can look them over?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Can you get into the recovery?
If so, just flash Chainfire's root package (The CWM installable ZIP at the bottom)
If you cannot get into the recovery, then indeed you need to find a flashable ROM, both to modify and to create a custom recovery for yourself.
So best search that chinese forum

- Sir, at stock, an owner of this phone said it can get to the recovery mode via Power + Volume up + Volume down. However, there is no 'flash recovery from SD card' as option
Possibly it is what you meant, but the option you are looking for (inside the recovery) is "flash update.zip from SD card" (or similar)
If not, then you first need to find a proper recovery. If you cannot find one on any of the chinese boards, you need to at least find a full ROM for your phone. Or you can nag your vendor for such a ROM.
I did find a chinese forum describing an ICS 4.0.4 ROM, but I can't make heads or tails of it even with google translate.

I've posted a guide here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1774567
Doomlord's rooting kit for ICS xperia 2011 units also works good enough here (it is kinda universal for ICS).
Better, its a script so you can check it step by step which was what I did.

I have the Korean SHW-M380W Wifi Galaxy Tab 10.1 and was wondering if anyone has had success rooting this device.
I'm having trouble finding the firmware I need. Can anyone direct me?
Thanks.
Hi. Got one and I had no problems with rooting the device
firmware: PDA:EH13 / CSC:EH13
Hi locomaniac
Could you share the EH13 original firmware? and I want to know how to rooting the device
12ways,
You don't really need the original EH13 firmware to root the device - you can always create a unsecured boot.img and flash it, but you need to a custom recovery (such as CWM) flashed thru ODIN first - unfortunately, there are some screen issues when the custom recovery is flashed, so I would probably suggest you hold off on it.
Download anywhere the samsung galaxy tab 10.1 root zip file - search thru this forum if you need - and run that zip from your normal android recovery mode <3e>. You can always 'adb reboot recovery' or just do the normal Power + Volume Down when booting, then select the "recovery" icon - not the "Downloading..." icon, and apply the zip once you have pushed it out to the /sdcard partition.
I'm looking to build a unsecure boot.img with root/Superuser.apk along with the OC kernel applied, but will need to wait until we can get the CWM issue resolved first.
Thanks.
frankus is right.. i have some screenissues when i go to the boot menu... i am also a newbie. ;-)
I have some problems installing the cwm via rom manager... it doesn't find my device... just the i9000 ;-)
hope someone can help

Did you decide this problem?
Hi,
can someone please help?
All I can access on my galaxy tab 10.1 is the clockworkmod recovery.
I am unable to mount usb storage to put a rom on there to 'install from sd',
so it's pretty much useless at present.
Is there a way to install a custom rom using odin?
Please help
You could install stock room via odin and then you could install the room you want. You should find the links here on the forum.
You can find all of the information you need to fix your tab right here.
You will want to read the entire thing before doing anything. The part that is most pertinent to you, (read:The part you will actually use,) is going to be the "Unrooting Process." This part will overwrite clockworkmod recovery and give you a stock, unrooted rom. I'm assuming that you already know what ODIN is and how to use it, because you have clockworkmod recovery installed. Good luck!
Hi
I am running a Stock LSD 4.1.2 JB Rom on my I9100 and do not wish to Root my phone. Yes it was rooted once but I have a specific reason for not wanting to revert back to root.
On a few occasions over the past year I have wanted to flash an app via "Recovery Mode", a .zip file located on the phone's external SD card.
On trying to flash, the following is displayed in yellow: -
E: failed to verify whole-file signature
E signature verification failed
Installation aborted.
I have searched and searched this and other forums and although I can find many many instances when this has ocurred with other people I have not yet seen a generic solution to this problem.
It must ocurr because of a certain situation being prevelant within my phone and the references to it on forums usually suggest they are because someone is messing with a Custom Rom and/or a Rooted Kernal etc etc.
Could someone please tell what is happening, why this is the case and what can be done to sort it please.
I would say that my phone is just over 18 months old, never has had a problem, has been flashed with "Stock Roms" quite a few times and all without wiping or restoring to the factory settings. I do not want to wipe it to sort this problem out and am hoping an easy fix is available.
Hope someone can help
ps - I am trying to install the 4.2 Camera via the patched.zip and have tried to install the "Temporary" Clockwork Recovery" app with exactly the same problem. I stress I do not want to Root.
Anyone please?

You need root access to flash apps or modify your system

Ermm, do not think so. Please review this thread before making wild comments like this: -

I know in some way though that you probably thought you were helping.
Surely this problem has a cause and a solution?

u have to first flash the 'Temporary CWM recovery .zip' then select 'reboot to recovery' option in stock recovery to enter 'temporary cwm recovery' there u select the 'Camera zip file' to flash.
PS- after flashing 'Temporary CWM recovery.zip' do not reboot ur phone the normal way by doing so u will lose ur temporary recovery.
each time before flashing any zip file u have to flash 'temporary cwm.zip' file first.
Hi thanks but I know this.
Can we get back to my topic please? I would not have posted if I could flash the Temp CWM Recovery. zip file
I just need to know what causes the error I am getting and how I can irradicate it.

As the error indicates, it fails to verify the file's signature. You can't flash unsigned packages via stock recovery. The solution is exactly what was already mentioned to you:either root and install a custom kernel/recovery (you don't want it, that's fine), or use a temporary custom (non-stock) recovery. While I had problems with the stock recovery flashing unsigned zips (obviously), I never had an issue with flashing a temp recovery. Try redownloading and reinstalling it - it could be a corrupt file. Which recovery are you trying to use? I recommend the temp touch CWM by Phil (the dev of the PhilZ kernel; use link in his signature). Always works like a charm.

Nice one! Thank you
It must have been a duff file (temp touch CWM by Phil) as the one I just downloaded, installed without a problem. It was the very same program file but from a different source.
Just installed the 4.2 Camera too so now going to play
Thank you again
Hi, I am completely new to android and need some help with the basics.
A few days ago I ordered a ZTE v967s phone from DX, it should arrive in a couple of weeks. I understand it is going to come preloaded with ZTE's version of android, which doesn't provide access to the Google play store. I would like to install a ROM as close to stock android as possible, with english language and access to the store.
From what I have been reading on the forum and on the net I gather that to accomplish this I need to: 1) root the phone, 2) install cwm recovery, 3) install a custom rom.
I found a root tool for mkt6589 phones like the v967s on this post, it seems pretty straightfoward to use:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=40624111&postcount=1&nocache=1
I found a CWM recovery for the phone on this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=43124312&postcount=15&nocache=1&z=2602546603884548
Lastly, I found a suitable rom on this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=43511231&postcount=46&nocache=1&z=7190561038441956
The root tool has simple instructions, so no doubts there. The CWM is a different story though, I have found guides on how to install it but they are usually specific for a particular smartphone, or they refer to a zip file (this is a .img), and from what I read it seems messing up the CWM's install might brick the phone. So if anyone can point me to a step by step on how to do this, I would be most grateful.
On how to install the custom rom, after reading a couple of guides I believe I have to boot into CWM and: 1) wipe data, 2) wipe cache, 3) wipe dalvik cache, 4) install zip from sdcard.
So, I would like to know if I got the process right or if I am missing something. I also need help with CWM's installation.
Thanks.
Hello to everyone
I am the proud owner of a galaxy S3 - i9300 since couple of days (got s2 before) and I would like to install a custom rom. Right now it is official JB. So first I tried to follow the guide from here the galaxys3root.com - galaxys3root.com/galaxy-s3-root/how-to-root-galaxy-s3-jelly-bean-or-ics
I finished installing, everything said ok but SuperSU said "“There is no SU binary installed, and SuperSU cannot install it. This is a problem!”. However I was able to enter recovery mode and see that cwm was installed. I repeated the procedure - same result. I tried using the CF-Auto-Root-m0-m0xx-gti9300.tar.md5, it said ok, finished, all green but again i had no root access (cwm still there, root checker said no root and supersu dissappeared).
The ultimate goal for me is to install CM11 rom with kitkat. So please clear some things for me (almost beginner level):
1. do i really need root from now on?
2. can i just reboot into recovery, wipe data/factory reset and install ROM? (all from the device, no odin)
3. is it a better solution to flash stock firmware through odin and start rooting all over again ?
4. Why don't I have root access since I followed all the indicated steps?
One detail that might matter is that now my cwm is version 5.5.0.4 CF v.1.5
Thank you for any help (and again, beginner+1 language please)
Visit CM and CF autoroot site you will find the answer to your questions.
All you need to install CM is recovery, so if you can get into that you are golden and don't need root on your current rom because its going to be over written with CM anyway
Thank you for your replies!
IOU-1, I did some research over the internet and I still do but I'm looking for some straight-on answers right now.
Darke5tShad0w, thanks for your help - right now I have cwm 5.5.0.4 - can you point me towards how to update to newer one? (I cannot do it through play store since I don't have root access).
Ok, I've found the cwm update: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2052091 I think this should work.

Try this since your goal is to install CM-ROM http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/CyanogenMod_Installer
Sorry I dont have alot of time today to be able to find you a link for the updated version.
Few things you can do here,
Use the link IOU-1 posted, I forgot about this yesterday then update CWM with rom manager
Try to flash cm with current CWM, if it works update it with rom manager
Search the forums and find the correct cwm post and update manually
Ok, thanks to everyone for their answers.
I fixed it and I'll say how so anyone in my position will do the same.
As a reminder, I tried to root but all I succeded to do is get cwm installed but no root (so no rom manager or any other root app installed).
What i did was to update cwm manually from within it, with zip install from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2052091
After that I simply installed CM11 - zip install - and now I have root and everything is running smoothly.
Again thanks - and good luck to all.
