But there is always adds are poping up and tablet using is quite difficult.
We need a custom ROM for it. (MIUI rom or any android custom rom)
We did not find any other ROM for it.
So if you have/know where can I found this then please give me link or if you have then please help me with this ROM.
Thanks in advance.

We have found one link but not Download links are are working now: 4pda.ru/forum/index.php
After flashing the tablet is not charging, does not turn on the computer is not detected. The solution for such bricks include:
1. Remove the back cover plate.
2. Turning off the power connector.
3. Unpack firmware somewhere on your computer.
4. Turn SP Flash Tool 5.14 and set the path to the file from a folder with MT6582_Android_scatter unpacked firmware (see para. 3)
5. Expose setting Format All + Download and hit Download.
6. Hold down the Volume + pressed connect the USB and wait until the flashing process will start. (The buttons do not go!)
7. As soon as you see a yellow band of interest on the firmware download, you can release the Volume + and wait for the end of the process.
8. After the firmware disable USB, connect the power connector of the battery and turn our device for verification.
9. Put the cover back.
As I said, flashing a site Ainol not work and leads to a brick (3 times sewed, 3 times okirpichil). I solved this problem by replacing preloader.bin of the new version on preloader.bin from the previous version, which is stitched without any problems, and then packed RABOCHUYUYU latest firmware for our tablet did re-initialization of memory + 2GB USRDATA (instead of 1 GB for applications will be allocated 2 GB and there is no fault with the lack of space). Spread the firmware for the members of the forum.
To flash mode Firmware Uprade through SP Flash Tool (for those who okirpichil: see. The instructions above)
Do not forget to make backup NVRAM!

Here CWM recovery for our animal. Put through Mtk Droid Tools.
Download CWM recovery

1. Turn the tablet in debug mode via USB. (Settings for developers)
2. Set the Root rights (Annex Framaroot to help)
3. Start the MTK Droid Tools, connect the USB cable to the plate.
4. Wait for the connection (in the corner of the box should be lit green), and your device must be recognized.
5. Go to the tab root, backup, recovery.
6. click on the button Recovery and Boot.
First, it prompts you to specify the path to the boot.img, but we we press Cancel, and then it asks you to specify the path to recovery.img and we specify the path to my file and hit ok.
7. Turn off the tablet and go in through rekaveri kombanatsiyu On. and Volume +

Please add information to the cap.
I have been looking through the posts here and on other sites, and I cannot seem to find anyone with experience of rooting the Blackview A8
I have tried using the Kingo Root phone app and their PC software application, which did not work and left a number of other applications installed.
I want to root the A8 in order to be able to use ES File Explorer and StickMount to download photos direct to USB sticks.
If anyone has any suggestions to help with this they will be very gratefully received.
Bump ...
The processor is a Mediatek 6580A, in case anyone has rooted another device with this processor...
Full specs for the Blackview A8 on devicespecifications.com - I cannot post the Url at present
The device has the possibility of USB OTG, but does not connect to any device I have tried, and the USB OTG Checker App tells me that the API is installed, but no USB OTG in the Kernel.
Dropbox works fine as a backup/ transfer method, but I want to be able to use USB Sticks for when I am not on WiFi/ Network...

I have successfully rooted my Blackview Y806 A8 phone. I flashed a TWRP recovery first and then manually flashed the supersu zip. I will try to find time to write more detailed instructions asap.

I have the TWRP recovery img and the supersu zip file. Does anybody know whether I'm allowed to upload these files directly to this website? And or put links to other websites relating to rooting the A8? One more thing. I believe there are two types of A8s. The Y806 and the Y813. I have the Y806 but my son has the Y813. There is a way of telling them apart. I will make a start on the instructions once someone confirms whether I can proceed.

The MEGA link always give me download failed even I have a stable wifi connection. Any other miror on y813 stock rom link?
The Mega account for the ROMs isn't mine. It belongs to Blackview.hk
Edit:
Silly me... I was holding wrong keys for the start menu... thank you, it works!
Whoever you are... I owe you a beer!
Old message:
I did all from the tutorial (I have a black Y813). It finds the phone when I connect it to the USB, says all OK. But when I try to boot into TWRP (holding Volume- and Reset button) it still boots in the original factory Chinese boot mode. No TWRP mode.
Works! Works! Works!
Okay, now I have root. So far understood.
What have I to do if I would like to renew the total system. In may case the Android system has several adware included. I wish to change the rom against a "clean" system.

I solved it myself. I have flashed the whole downloaded y806 file and checked all items in flashtool to be flashed. After a longer boot duration the system works great and ....without adware. Great!!

Hi, but which keys are the valid ones?
Guys, do you got problems with A8's battery?
Is there a connection between rooting of A8 and decreasing A8's high phone idle?
Hey guys! I'm about to root my Blackview A8 using the method mentioned in this thread. How is everyone's experience with this? Is rooting my phone using the above-posted method completely safe?
I'll recommend this

I'm really thanks with you, this really worked and I recommend this process (I've a Y806) But you missed something. To install the drivers of the FlashTools you have to disable the obligatory use of signed drivers before to install it (If you don't have disable, The installation won't finish) Thanks
Hi. I've managed the first part of the process, up until receiving the green tick and copying the SuperSU.zip to the memory card on my A8. The problem comes when I want to go into TWRP: I manually enter recovery mode and I get a dead android icon with the line "no command".
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

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.

Good guide. This tablet has temperamental steps involved with custom recovery and root. This guide gives a good outline of those steps. Here is a link to my thread for Stock Android 6.0 firmware for this tablet for members who need a stock ROM.

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

Thanks for the comment!!! :silly:
Glad it worked for you. Isn' t it like a really good feeling when you actually see your bricked device boot correctly for the first time after you had almost deemed it unusable???
(also... a... small request... could you please click on that thingy... you know... that ehhh... thanks button??? :angel::angel:)
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.

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

I had a Lenovo Tab3 that bricked during the initial set up and this saved me for having an expensive paperweight! The process worked like a charm. You ROCK!

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.

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:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/help/lenovo-tab-3-8-tb3-850f-unbrick-root-t3598727
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:
