Looking for info on rooting a Lenovo A8-50F tablet. It's running 5.0.2.
I see a thread on a different Lenovo tablet:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/general/general/lenovo-tab-s8-50f-stock-firmware-rom-t2989791/
But that's clearly a different tablet.
Thanks.
Lenovo A8-50F Tablet Rooting
Moved to the general Android forum by the admins.
*Anybody* using this Lenovo tablet? How about generic 5.02 rooting instructions?
I used KingRoot (ver 4.8.2) to root my Lenovo Tab2 A8-50F Tablet.
I used KingRoot as part of a SuperTool. The SuperTool, using a batchfile script, also removed KingRoot after the tablet was rooted and then installed SuperSU.
The SuperTool (April 6, 2016 version) was created by xda's RootJunky for the Amazon Fire 7 5th gen tablet, using KingRoot and SuperSU, but it rooted my Lenovo Tab2 A8-50F Tablet, uninstalled KingRoot and installed SuperSU, all with only a couple of mouse clicks.
Even if you are already rooted with KingRoot, you can use this tool to uninstall KingRoot and install SuperSU. (Just run the tool, let it re-install KingRoot, don't run KingRoot but hit Enter on the SuperTool to then uninstall KingRoot and install SuperSU).
Lenovo Tab2 A8-50F Tablet info:
Model Number: Lenovo TAB 2 A8-50F
Android version: 5.1
Kernel version: 3.10.65
Build number: A8-50F_S000037_151023_ROW
Software version: A8-50F_151023
Hardware version; LenovoPad A8-50F
The SuperTool batch file script rooted the tablet with KingRoot and then uninstalled KingRoot and installed SuperSu.
I have since installed ES File Manager, Titanium Backup, Link2sd on the tablet. Root is totally working. Rooted with only a couple of clicks!
Just enable Developer options on Lenovo Tab2 A8-50F (by tapping tablet Build Number 7 to 10 times [Settings, About Tablet, Build Number (tap 7 to 10 times)]), enable USB debugging on Tablet in the Developer options settings.
Connect Tablet to Windows 10 with a USB data cable (I used the USB 2.0 port). When screen message on the Tablet mentions connections, make sure it is in the MTP mode.
Extract RootJunky's SuperTool Zip file to the Windows 10 desktop.
Run RootJunky's SuperTool (Amazon-Fire-5th-gen.bat) You may have to read the instructions on the pages below and install adb drivers. Pick option #6 Root. Choose Option #3: version 5.1.2. This will run a script that installs KingRoot, allows you to run it manually, and then removes KingRoot and installs SuperSU.
Press enter and KingRoot will be installed on the Tablet from the SuperTool. (approve any messages that appear on Tablet screen) Now don't touch the PC SuperTool until the Tablet is rooted.
Open KingRoot on the Tablet and run it. You may have to run KingRoot several times and the Tablet may reboot. Just keep running KingRoot until the Tablet is rooted. After KingRoot reaches 100%, then press ENTER on the PC.
The SuperTool will now uninstall KingRoot and install SuperSU on the Tablet.
Choose NORMAL SuperSU install on the Tablet when prompted. When SuperSU is installed, reboot the Tablet. Disconnect data cable.
After reboot the Lenovo Tab2 A8-50F Tablet is rooted. There will be a request by SuperSU to upgrade. Approve it. You can now install Titanium Backup, Link2sd, ES File Manager, etc. Your Tablet is rooted. As easy as that. THANKS ROOTJUNKY!!!

Wow, awesome! I forgot I posted this. Lenovo has clearly abandoned this tablet. Too bad, I use it every night. So if we root, do you know of any third party ROMs that support this hardware?

I haven't looked for roms. That was a low priority. Mainly I wanted root to load AdAway, Link2sd, Titanium Backup, etc.

I had previously needed root for NTFS support for playing movies off of USB keys. I found a work-around that didn't need root but it will be nice to get it back. Thanks for sharing.

So, did you find any Custom ROMs? As you say, seems Lenovo aren't supporting the s8-50 and the present ROM is somewhat out of date. Still works fine, but a newer Google patch level would be nice!

No, nothing. I'm just going to count this as abandoned hardware and never buy from Lenovo again. Glad I got a good price on it originally.
So I as successfully able to root the phone using the Windows version of Kingo Root and then installed Super Su and Busy Box but I can't get a recovery to work on it, yet.....would love a Recovery like TWRP or Phil's and CM13 port for this phone.
Finally got it rooted with KingRoot
Just noticed that the build.prop has the ro.build.id-LMY47V
That's the 5.1.1 for the 2013 Nexus 7

Hi I would to know how you rooted the Coolpad Rogue 3320A. I was looking at Kingo root and KingRoot and they dont give good instructions.
I tried the android versions of both KingRoot and Kingo Root without success. The Windows version of Kingo Root failed but the Windows version of KingRoot succeeded in rooting my Coolpad Rogue 3320A.
The Kingo Root Windows app gives instructions in English when you run it. Which are to connect the phone to the computer with a USB cable and enable "USB debugging" in the phone's "Settings" under "Developer options'. Then click the ROOT button when it appears. KingRoot is in Chinese, but I just followed the same procedure.
To get "Developer options" to show in the phone's settings , you need to give 7 or 8 taps to the "Build number" under "About phone" in the phone's "Settings".
Before I tried rooting I also ran COOLPAD-140926-SETUP.EXE in the CD Drive labeled "Coolpad_USB_Driver" that shows up in Windows Explorer when the phone is connected to the PC by USB cable. I also installed minimal ADB and Fastboot and Google USB drivers using 15 seconds ADB Installer v1.3 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=48915118 But I think that they may not have been necessary.
The version of Windows KingRoot I had success with was KingRootSetup_v3.1.0.1125_105002.exe downloaded from kingroot.net
There's a setting in the developer options to allow the bootloader to be unlocked. I've not tried to fastboot to work yet.
"Vanilla" ROM or at least vanilla dialer/phone apps?
I'm interested in some kind of vanilla dialer/phone/telecom app set (5.1.1 based) or a full ROM that's AOSP so that I can toss out T-Mo's "Wi-Fi Calling" and use the built-in Android SIP client with its normal configuration screens.
If anyone has accomplished the same with this device or any other T-Mo 5.1 based device, please let me know. I'd really like to be able to configure the system dialer to connect to my SIP PBX directly rather than use a half dozen hacks to give me half-working VoIP calling of my own.
(Note: If there's a T-Mo 4.4 based image out there, that would suffice, as I can at least make VoIP apps intercept dial requests, which T-Mo Wi-Fi Calling prevents on 5.1. This device shipped with 5.1, but it might be possible that a similar model's ROM image might work on this as well.)
/system image
anyone with a rooted 3320a that might be able to provide me with a stock(or rooted stock) image of /system? i managed to softbrick my device after rooting and i forgot to do a dd of the system partition before mucking around in it
thanks in advance
Root Genius Might Work

My Arise don't have a custom recovery either. This kind of disappoints me, as this phone is a good phone for the price.
However, I thought I'd share with you guys that Root Genius may also work to root the Rogue as it does root my Arise. (I don't own a Rogue, so I can't confirm this.) It's always better to have more than one way to root your phone safely right?
Kingroot

You CAN root this with the Kingroot apk.
I'm new and can't post links so to make the links below work just abbrev the http and add a colon.
As soon as I can post links I will fix them.
PROOF:

Here's what I did:
1) download latest kingroot Hypertexttransferprotocol//androidmtk.com/download-kingroot-application
2) enable USB debugging in developer options
3) enable OEM boot loader unlock in developer options
6) enable unsigned APKs
7) install kingroot apk
8) run kingroot
9)?
10) PROFIT
Will update with better details later. Sorry for mistakes and formatting I'm on my rooted coolpad rouge.

Hello guys,
I recently bought an Alcatel OneTouch Pixi 3 8 wifi Tablet. It runs an 1.3ghz mediatek mt8127.
Some info:
Model: 8070
Manufacturer: TCL
and it's on Android 5.0.2.
So i tried vroot, iroot (PC + APK), king root (PC + APK), kingo root, Root Genius, Framaroot, Baidu Super Root, DingDong and maybe some more that can't remember.
Every single of them fails. I can't root this damn tablet!
Also tried PDAnet drivers though not sure if installed correctly.
I can't find anyone with same tablet or an mt8127 with lollipop.
Any help is much much appreciated! :laugh:
I've managed to root it with kingroot 4.50 apk from within tablet (no PC needed).It's safe to use it and you can also unroot if you need.
My RCA tablet model RCT6773W42B has MT8127. I recently tried this kingroot apk and it failed:
NewKingrootV5.3.3_C193_B445_en_release_2018_01_23_20180124192653_105203.apk
Anybody have an idea farmaroot says its invurnable to its exploit and mobilego keeps trying but it fails.....
I've rooted it with KingoRoot pc it went well!
Help me!!!!
Anyone know how to root lg k5??
Model: X220
There seems to be no way to root it yet. I've tried both KingRoot and KingoRoot at least, in their latest versions, both PC and apk, and no method is available yet.
What chipset?
Sent from my VFD 700
GSMArena lists Mediatek MT6582.
Someone has news on this? I've been trying new and old versions of Kingroot (b367), KingOroot and Root Genius, both PC and apk, and none of them can find a viable rooting method yet.
I've read that LG K4, however, with his Mediatek 6735 chipset, has been rooted.
Recently I've tried Kingroot 5.0.1 and the process seems to be able to reach 100% after a few tries. The Kingroot program then acts as if the phone was rooted, but the option it gives is to "Repair" the root, and that won't do. Also, Root Checker says it isn't rooted.

Hello all. As I say in this post I try that method but it wont works for me. So i try KingRoot (KingRoot, not KingOroot) and I can say that this phone is under the requests. I don't know how much it take for the devs to finalized it (there's few phones models before this). Btw good to know. Maybe try a look time by time using the Kingroot pc tool, that gives you more informations compared to .apk one.
