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.

Never mind, upload it.
How to make the difference between both A8?
Rooting A8 Instructions
First you need to download the correct Stock ROM for your device:
THIS IS FOR THE Y806 VERSION:
http://bbs.blackview.hk/viewtopic.php?f=136&t=57766
THIS IS FOR THE Y813 VERSION:
http://bbs.blackview.hk/viewtopic.php?f=136&t=32613 (THIS ALSO SHOWS YOU HOW TO IDENTIFY YOUR DEVICE.)
1. Download and extract (to a place where you can easily find it again) one of these ZIPs.
2. Rename the ‘recovery.img’ file inside, ‘recovery2’. Download the ‘A8 recovery.img’ from here https://mega.nz/#!PoJ3gJLA!-xm4X6AzmzsWl5LgQm2gFKaxr-yIC2B492LW4ucVWGY and copy it into the above extracted folder and rename it ‘recovery’ (without the inverted commas).
3. Here http://www.needrom.com/download/blackview-a8/ you will see ‘Flashtools’ about a quarter of the way down the page. Click on it and download will begin of Pack-Flashtool-v5.1604.00.000.
4. Unpack FlashTools. (There is a folder inside named ‘Driver’ if it’s required) and click on Flash_tool.exe inside the folder called SP_Flash_Tool_exe_Windows_v5.1604.00.000.
5. Select "scatter-Loading" and search for MT6580_Android_scatter.txt in the extracted ROM above and wait for the files to be added into Flash Tool.
6. Un-tick/unselect all, EXCEPT ‘recovery’.
7. Select "Download only".
8. Turn off your phone, remove the battery (if the battery is removable) and replace it after some seconds (and don't turn on the phone).
9. Press the “Download” button to start and then connect your phone into the computer via USB data cable.
10. The process will start (If it doesn’t start after 5 seconds or so, unplug the cable and plug it back in).
11. A green circle with a tick will be displayed signifying it’s finished!
12. You can now safely disconnect your phone and turn it on.
FLASHING SuperSu.zip
1. Copy the SuperSu.zip file to your SD Card.
2. Reboot your phone into the new TWRP Recovery
3. Select ‘Install’ and locate the SuperSu.zip file and select ‘Install Image’.
4. After flashing has completed, reboot your phone and you will finally have root.
I BELIEVE I HAVE INCLUDED ALL THE INSTRUCTIONS. IF I’VE MISSED ANYTHING, LET ME KNOW AND I WILL TRY TO REPLY ASAP.
I’VE ALSO ATTACHED SOME IMAGES PROVING THAT MY A8 HAS BEEN ROOTED.
P.S. I’M NOT RESPONSIBLE IF YOU BRICK YOUR PHONE ACCIDENTALLY. SO READ INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY.
My phone has no white sticker, but a black sticker the size of the small white one. Would that be the y814?
Then it's a Y813

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.

I've got this new MyPhone A858 Duo, a dual-sim phone with 1Ghz processor from the Philippines.
I've tried rooting it using SuperOneClick 2.3.3.0, UnlockRoot 2.3.1 and Gingerbreak, but it seems that all failed in rooting this new android phone.
Any idea how to root this phone will be greatly appreciated.

I've heard this works for other people. With my phone it doesn't. When I plug it in, it doesn't show an unknown device. I've already downloaded and installed MT65xx Preloader and tried out a VCom, but still nothing. I've been going at it for a week, so if anyone's got an answer, advice would be great. Thanks!

If you want rooted kitkat head to my friend's thread @maxx_hr (THANK YOU FOR ALL YOUR WORK!) HERE: http://forum.xda-developers.com/optimus-l3-l5-l7-l9-ii/development/kk-kk-kdz-p710-root-t2950532
Hello to you all!Warning:
Code:
[COLOR="Red"][SIZE="4"]Your warranty is now void. I am not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards,
thermonuclear war, or you getting fired because the alarm app failed.
Please do some research if you have any concerns about all contained in this tutorial
before you follow it! YOU are choosing to make these modifications, and if
you point the finger at me for messing up your device, I will laugh at you.
But since i'm a nice dude i will try to guide you anyway:)[/SIZE][/COLOR]
In this tutorial we will learn how to:
- achieve root on our L7 II (Both single and dual-sim, so P715/P710 and all the derivated phones from them) by LG running a Custom Rom or Stock KK Rom.
FOR THIS FOLLOW ALL STEPS.
- unbrick/flash to a specific firmware using Lg Flash Tool (In this tutorial there are only 2 KDZ files stock JB for P710 and P715. If you want to recover from a brick or want a different KDZ file you can find them over here: http://lg-phone-firmware.com/)
FOR THIS FOLLOW STEP 1 AND STEP 2 (install all drivers including adb and download the files that are needed at Step 2).
- flash with CWM (There are 3 methods I describe. Use the one that suits you the best. You can flash any *.zip that is suitable for your device.)
FOR THIS FOLLOW STEP 5.
Save your data you need, you will lose all data so backup with Titanium Backup or a program you like the info you need.
ALL DOWNLOADS ARE AT THE BOTTOM OF THE POST!
This tutorial will be split in steps as the following:
1. Preparing the Windows machine with the right drivers and software.
2. Reverting back to Jellybean Stock Rom.
3. Rooting on Stock Rom (Jellybean).
4. Installing Unlocked Bootloader and ClockWorkMod Recovery (CWM).
5. Flashing KitKat or a Custom Rom through CWM.
6. Flashing Root through CWM.
So let's start the job.
1. Preparing the Windows machine with the right drivers and software.
Uninstall everything related to LG from Control Panel (Drivers, PC Sync etc).
Restart your PC.
Download and unrar the archive "LG Drivers.rar".
Install both files inside and restart your computer.
Download "adb-setup-1.4.2.exe" and install it (answers should be y y y and install the drivers when prompted).
Download "Framaroot-1.9.1.apk".
Download "LG Flash Tool 2014.rar".
Download "Free LG P710.rar"
Download "P710 Stock KK.zip". -> Stock KK image with Stock KK kernel in it made from the original V20 KDZ (Open Europe).
Download SuperSU
*Download "P715 Stock KK.zip" and "LG P715 (JellyBean).kdz" if you are running a dual-sim version of the phone.
*Download all the files you need!
From now on I will consider you have this files and I will just call their names when to use them.
2. Reverting back to Jellybean Stock Rom.
Open the back cover of your phone and pull the battery out. Wait about 10 seconds. Put the battery back in.
While HOLDING (keep pressed) the VOLUME DOWN BUTTON insert the USB Cable in the phone (you need to have your USB cable inserted in an USB 2 port from the back of your PC).
When you see the yellow screen with emergency mode stop pressing the button.
Unplug the USB from the phone and then plug it in again.
Unrar "LG Flash Tool 2014.rar" and open "LGFlashTool2014.exe" with right-click Run As Admin.
*If you cannot open this program you need to install "VC_RedistInstaller.exe". You are missing some libraries of visual C++*
*IF YOU HAVE ANOTHER PHONE (another LG or P715) DO THE SAME INSTRUCTION AND REPLACE JUST THE KDZ FILE ON "Select KDZ File" TO THE ONE YOU DOWNLOADED AND IS SUITABLE FOR YOUR OWN DEVICE.
Move PhoneMode from DIAG to EMERGENCY. Select KDZ File: you have a file called "V10J_00.kdz" in the same folder as the tool. Select that. Press CSE Flash (CAUTION!!! This will reflash the phone and YOU WILL LOSE ALL YOUR DATA SO BE WARNED).
Another screen will open and press START.
Another screen will open once again press OK.
At a point you will get an error like "Offline BLA BLA". DON'T DO ANYTHING DO NOT PRESS OK.
Wait until your phone reboots and then you can close this tool.
Remove USB cable.
IMPORTANT STEP:
Pull out the battery. Wait 10 seconds put it back. While holding VOLUME DOWN + HOME BUTTON press POWER BUTTON. Wait until you see LG logo and stop pressing POWER. Keep pressing the other 2 until you see android robot doing things. Wait until the phone boots.
CONGRATZ you are on JELLYBEAN (Or the KDZ you chose).
3. Rooting on Stock Rom (Jellybean).
When you see the welcome screen just fast forward everything.
Go to system settings->security->tick Unknown sources->OK.
Go to system settings->developer options->OK->tick USB debugging->YES.
With an SD card reader or with your USB connected as Media Sync (MTP) copy the "Framaroot-1.9.1.apk" to your SD Card.
Using the phone's FILE MANAGER go to external_SD and click the Framaroot you just copied. Run it using Package Installer Just Once and Install.
When finished press OPEN. At the first choice choose Install SuperSU and then press on "Gandalf". You will get Success. Press OK and reboot.
You will see SuperSU in you apps.
YAY! IT'S DONE.
4. Installing Unlocked Bootloader and ClockWorkMod Recovery (CWM).
*SAME FILE YOU NEED FOR LG P715
Earlier you have download "Free LG P710.rar" and in the first step you installed ADB. We will use that now.
Unrar the "Free LG P710.rar" and place the 2 files ON THE ROOT (only on root) of the SD card using device mounted in MTP mode or SD card reader. Put back the card if you use the second option.
WARNING!!!
This can mess up you device so just do what i say step by step!
Plug the USB Cable in the Phone once again and use MTP connection mode.
Click Start+R type CMD and press ENTER.
Run the Following with copy paste to CMD.
Code:
adb devices
You will see your device.
*IF YOU CANNOT MAKE YOUR DEVICE BE RECOGNIZED IN "adb devices" do this:
Install this: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=jackpal.androidterm&hl=ro
Open terminal and continue with the steps down below.
Code:
adb shell
You will see something ending with $.
Code:
su
Unlock the dvice if it is locked and your phone will ask for superuser permission press GRANT.
Code:
dd if=/storage/external_SD/APPSSBL.bin of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p5
This will copy the unlocked bootloader to the bootloader partition.
Code:
dd if=/storage/external_SD/recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p17
This will copy the CWM to recovery partition.
Code:
reboot recovery
This will reboot your phone in CWM if you followed all steps correctly.
GREAT SUCCES we have an unlocked bootloader and CWM.
Close your CMD.
Unplug USB.
5. Flashing KitKat or a Custom Rom through CWM.
*IF YOU WANT TO FLASH ANOTHER ZIP FILE OR YOU ARE ON P715 JUST USE THE ARCHIVE YOU NEED AS REFERENCE, NOT "P710 Stock KK.zip". CHOOSE THE FILE THAT IS MOST SUITABLE OR YOU THINK IT'S BEST FOR YOU
I made "P710 Stock KK.zip" you downloaded. This is the stock image for KK Open Europe. Here you can either flash mine or search for a Custom Rom for your device. Either way you will follow the exact same steps but with a different archive. I will take for reference the "P710 Stock KK.zip".
Plug USB in.
You Navigate using Volume Up Button (UP) and Volume Down Button (DOWN). The Power Button is OK.
Do this:
- Go to "wipe data/factory reset" and OK. Go to YES then OK. Wait until done.
- Go to "mounts and storage" and do the following: "format /cache" and "format /system" everytime with YES as second option. Press "go back" once.
- Go to "advance" and then "wipe dalvik cache" and YES. Press "go back".
Here you have 3 options.
OPTION 1.
Use an SD card reader copy the Zip file to the root of the SD card or copying using CWM. Using CWM you navigate with Volume Up and Volume Down to "mounts and storage" press POWER BUTTON (OK). Go to "mount USB storage" and your SD card will appear in windows and you can copy. After that you press "go back" 2 times to get to the main menu.
Go to "Install zip" and then "choose zip from sdcard". Search for the zip file and press OK then go to "YES" and press OK. Wait until done.
Go to "wipe data/factory reset" and OK. Go to YES then OK. Wait until done.
Press "Reboot System Now" and "yes" if asked (if you are asked about some fix or anything after you press reboot now choose the positive thing like the answer that is not no).
OPTION 2.
Copy the file using adb push. Open a CMD window in Windows (Start+R type CMD press ENTER). Copy this:
Code:
adb push
With the space. After space go where you downloaded the zip file highlight it and drag it in the CMD. Leave a space after that and type /sdcard (without space after).
Wait until done and close CMD.
After you copied the file to your sdcard go to "install zip" -> "choose zip from sdcard" -> search for the "P710 Stock KK.zip" press OK then go to "YES" and your installation will beging. Wait until it is done. Go to "wipe data/factory reset" and OK. Go to YES then OK. Wait until done.
Press "Reboot System Now" and "yes" if asked (if you are asked about some fix or anything after you press reboot now choose the positive thing like the answer that is not no).
NOTE: In the zip i made i don't know why i couldn't sideload it but usually you do not have to copy to SD card to flash something. You can sideload it. All you have to do is:
-Go to "install zip" -> "install from sideload"
On your computer open a CMD and copy this :
Code:
adb sideload
Copy with space and after what you copied grab the zip you want to flash and drag it to CMD. Hit ENTER. Sideload will send the zip to phone and process of flashing will start. After it is done reset to factory again.
Press "Reboot System Now" and "yes" if asked (if you are asked about some fix or anything after you press reboot now choose the positive thing like the answer that is not no).
CONGRATZ YOU ARE NOW ON KITKAT. I HONESTLY THINK THAT YOU SHOULD GO FOR THIS CUSTOM ROM OVER HERE BECAUSE IT IS LIKE 10 TIMES BETTER THAN THE STOCK KK. TO INSTALL JUST DOWNLOAD THE ZIP FILE FROM THERE (V2) AND FOLLOW THE TUTORIAL WITH JUST REPLACING THE ZIP WITH THE OTHER ZIP.

6. Flashing Root through CWM.
On some ROMS root will not be there. To avoid this we will flash the SuperSU zip.
To get to recovery you have 2 ways:
- From you ROM connect USB as MTP or in a way that ADB recognizes it (device gets detected by adb devices) type adb reboot recovery.
- Close your phone. At the same time press VOLUME DOWN + HOME BUTTON + POWER BUTTON. When you see the LG logo stop pressing POWER BUTTON. Keep the others 2 until you are in CWM.
Install the SuperSU zip with one of the ways you learnt at step 5.
You are rooted now.
Hope everything worked out fine for you and you are happy. Have a really nice day.

Does P713 have NFC?
This method actually works for dual sim too,you just have to use P715 kdz's.

Yeah it does. Maybe this weekend I will mod it. It is usefull for recoverying from soft bricks also just Step 1 and 2.
it was great till i get stuck on boot loop ,,, now how to solve ?
thanks for the useful guide.
I have a problem though, I cannot go after kdz extraction.
LG Tools stops with an cryptic error like [009.400.120.120.120]PC????? and looking at the log it seems there are troubles in unpacking the kdz file.
I have tried with different roms but still the same.
Does anyone has the same problem ?

I can't really understand you. The point of this guide is to get root on kitkat so flashing with lg flashtool will not work if you want kit kat rooted. I tested that V10J on my own l7 2 (p710). Also if you flashed Jellybean did you press CSE Flash not Normal Flash?

Ok do that step again. Flash with that tool using the image i provided. After the last ok. Even when you get the offline error don't touch it until phone reboots. If you get bootloop do this.
1. Pull out battery. Wait 10 seconds. Push battery back in.
2. While holding POWER DOWN + HOME BUTTON press POWER BUTTON. Wait until you see LG logo then stop presing POWER. You will get to see android guy doing stuff. Then tell me if it's ok.

Don't forget to press the thx button it's in the right . I will add this to the tutorial I didn't need it but who knows.
I managed to do the "root" step, but somehow cannot proceed with the next step.
When I check "USB debugging", the phone doesn't connect to the computer for some reason. I tried multiple computers, with no luck. The "adb devices" says just empty "List of devices attached".
If I disable the USB debugging, the phone gets connected just fine, if I enable it again, it gets stuck on "Connected as installer", and doesn't connect as MTP....
Any idea how to fix this?
Do you have drivers installed? Also when you press MTP cancel if your phone wants to install anything.

I tried everything, without luck. I ended just using terminal emulator to copy the files on phone directly (might be cool to add this to your tutorial, as someone else can also have this problem). So, now I'm on Amigas ROM - makes a HUGE difference! Thanks, looking forward for some other custom ROMs for this phone..

VERSION : OxygenOS 3.0.2
DOWNLOADS
1. OnePlus2 Stock Reset Oxygen 3.0.2 Google Drive | Mediafire
2. Qualcomm Drivers Version 1.00.14 Google Drive | Mediafire
INSTRUCTIONS
You are doing this on your own responsibility. I take no responsibility whatsoever.
(THIS WILL WIPE YOUR ONEPLUS INCLUDING INTERNAL SD)
Download both the files from above and extract them (WinRAR, WinZIP, 7ZIP etc). You should have 2 folders: "OnePlus2_14_A.19_160604" and "qc"
A. Install the Certificates followed by the Qualcomm drivers.
1. Open the folder "qc" and install the Test Certificate in the following Stores: Trusted Root, Trusted Publisher, Third-Party Root and Personal
2. Run the Qualcomm setup wizard (also located in the qc folder)
3. When setup completes, launch Command Prompt as an Administrator and type bcdedit /set testsigning on
4. Restart your computer. (Once it gets on, you should see a watermark stating Test Mode in the bottom right corner. If not, type bcdedit in Command Prompt as an Administrator to check if testsigning shows on. If not, repeat step 3.)
5. Turn off your phone and disconnect the USB cable from the phone.
6. Hold vol-up and plug in the USB(Do not press Power button). The screen will stay black but you will hear a sound from windows that a device is attached.
7. The driver should now automatically install. If not, go to device manager and right click "Unknown Device" and click "Update Driver" Search up the QC folder and press ok. The driver should now install. (Got the RELINK issue? Take a look here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...1&postcount=46)
B. Flashing Process
1. Open the OnePlus2_14_A.19_160604 folder and open "MSM8994DownloadTool.exe"
2. Look if your phone is detected in the list. everything is Chinese but you will see one row with different chinese text from the rest within the list. If not, recheck if driver is detected in Device Manager (If not, go back to Step A - Line 3).
3. First click the right square Chinese button. This will perform an integrity check on the downloaded files by verifying the MD5 hash values.
4. The system will seem to hang for a bit but should give you a pop up with the results of the above verification. When everything is ok. Press the start button. and let the progress finish. (If something is not ok, you will have to re-download the images. Google Drive can help extract only the necessary files.)
5. When it's done. Disconnect the USB cable and turn on the device.
6. Launch Command Prompt as an Administrator and type bcdedit /set testsigning off and reboot. Your system should no longer be in Test Mode.
C. Reset TAMPER Flag (Optional)
(This may potentially change your SmartPhone to a rather large paperweight and I will just laugh at you bearing no responsibility)
+ This part of the guide is not an Official Procedure and is in no way affiliated to OnePlus.
+ It is advisable to do this before any of the above mentioned operations.
+ Prerequisites:
Root
HEX Editor with root features
Root File Manager
+ BEWARE: You are modifying partitions which cannot be restored regardless of what you flash. You have been warned AGAIN
1. In File Manager browse to the devinfo partition (dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/)

Finally Managed to get a hand on this after a late night session with OnePlus. Great that we now have the MM Stock Reset which should theoretically help to get back to stock regardless of the ROM, customizations etc.
I believe this is the best option to use to return to stock from CM.

Thank you for mentioning me, Great Work
Is it recommended to do this to make sure that the installation is well made?
I installed 3.0.2 via OTA but my battery life is mediocre(3 hours). I know that in my Samsung devices it was better to clean flash the room yourself rather than doing it via OTA but I don't know about oneplus 2.
Should I just factory reset it or maybe do this whole procedure ?(except step C)

You have a few options.
1. This threads Stock Reset option guarantees your phone will be Stock OnePlus, just as a new phone (Bootloader Locked, Recovery Stock, Kernel Stock etc). However, it requires some time and effort. [Recommended]
2. Factory Reset may fix your Battery issue (not sure) but it is the quickest method.
3. You could use @Spannaa 's Fastboot images to flash all the images in this thread but via fastboot which is quicker and requires minimal setup. [Recommended]

Hello again,
When you say ''to flash all the images in this thread'' do you mean the 1. OnePlus2 Stock Reset Oxygen OS 3.0.2 and the 2. Qualcomm Drivers Version 1.00.14 ???
Or does it mean that flashing via fastboot the spanna image I am flashing everything at once?
Thank you very much

My Friend, you need to do any one of the above 3 mentioned methods. You could:
1. Follow this guide, the first post which has all the details. This is the method used by OnePlus to restore your phone when you have issues.
3. You could alternatively flash via Fastboot using the images from the mentioned thread.
You chose either one of the above mentioned procedures. Not both. If you run into issues do let is know. The procedure is detailed and if you follow my guide to the dot, you should be all set in the first attempt itself (for Flashing method 1)
Thanks fareed_xtreme, everything went well. Good job !

I did as told and was able to boot up successfully. But unfortunately the sim and wifi are not getting detected...do you have any solution for this? Also the phone keeps rebooting at random...would be really thankful for a quick solution to this.
Thx!! My OnePlus 2 is almost dead. Fastboot recovery only works for CM recovery, and there is no ROM inside sdcard. I flash TWRP, but no working. ADB sideload, TZ version problem - no luck. Thank you for sharing this thread.

Which version of OnePlus 2 do you have? I have tested this on the European version.
Try this, Re-Flash the whole package AGAIN. After the first boot, reboot into recovery and reset to factory defaults. If it still does not work out, then let me know.

Even I have an A2003, European version and Indian version are the same. Have you pressed the square button to verify if the Package you have downloaded is in good shape and not corrupted? Do check that.
Alternatively head over to this thread and try flashing through TWRP using the Fastboot package of 3.0.2.
Or you could flash the modem file manually if you know how it's done.
Also as a last resort, try flashing an older version of the stock reset (there will be a version 2.2.0 in the general section or through Fastboot using the thread provided above).
If after all this it still does not work, please open a ticket with OnePlus. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Do follow the above recommendations. However, if it did not work for you with other ROMs, Resets or Fastboot Zips, then I am very sure, none of the above steps will be of much use. Maybe CM might help but again, it's a longshot. Best option for you is to open a Ticket with OnePlus as this looks more inclined towards a driver or hardware issue.

Sorry for the delayed response...i tried the fastboot method as well i have wifi now but no sim yet... i think i found out the problem. The IMEI number seems to be missing... and i read that would be the case for sim not detected.... i tried lots of methods (trying to get into engineering mode & using terminal emulator) to rectify it but was unsuccessful... I think the methods i saw were all for mediatek phones...couldnt find one for qualcomm....do you know any right way for fixing the IMEI issue? Thank you so much for your help so far on this.

I don't have much information on this. If your IMEI doesn't show, it means that one of your device specific partition is corrupted (I guess it's EFS, not sure). If you have a nandroid backup of all your partitions, then you could use them to recover. Else, your options are limited and your only friend is Google search. This doesn't usually happen.

How much time it can take? Mine is going on for almost two hours now
Only Stop button is clickable and the square button too. Start,Enum, Exit are grayed out.(not clickable)
Btw i did press the stop button after getting frustrated for more than half an hour.
And then again performed integrity check. And then again pressed the start button.
When it finish, does it show some notification?

This could mean that it is still waiting for your device to connect. Have you double checked your drivers and have you found the different line in the flashing app? You will need to restart the process and follow it step by step again.
It will usually take between 8 - 12 minutes max to finish flashing in the app. Also once it's done, in the app all lines will turn green (if I recall correctly).
So i've tried this and various other methods along similar lines. The flashing tool finishes and goes green but then also goes red.
On the reboot, recovery is still missing and i have fastboot.
If i use 'fastboot continue', I boot into the rom for setup and everything starts to work. However, I don't have any recovery, so the phone does not boot. Bootloader is now locked too so I can't try to flash recovery.

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:

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, I appreciate your comment. I was really enthusiastic to read that you are working on a pure Stock Android 6.0 ROM for this device! Will definitely be waiting for that!
Thank you again!

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.

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:
Hello everyone! This is my first post, I'm very very new here If I somehow missed a rule or two and shouldn't have posted here or etc DO TELL ME, Im open to anything and I appreciate it! To the point, I won't stretch the topic, I'll tell you how I rooted my Gionee x1 device, and the problems I faced and their solutions. You may ask yourselves or just come reply here, Who even owns that device, Well I own one and I wasn't able to root this device it was hard, so for the other mates out their having bought this piece of brick.
and, there's a reason to why Im writing this topic, do read to the end.
So, to start I first of all researched alot both on google and xda forums for any way of doing it, most of which either didn't work or were not supporting my device(f.e. One Click Root Methods didn't work at all).
1. This post has a reply by ZedLens, which is awesome but to my surprise it didn't work for me.
2. This post BusinessKid is a great tutorial for any MTK Device, but the 3rd step of "The Download Stuff:" I couldn't find the scatter for my device.
3. I've a strict download limit for my internet, so I couldn't download the Stock ROM, so I somehow had to extract it from my device, which I failed why? MTK Droid Tool wasn't able to recognize my device. I diagnosed for all possible reasons for this, bad USB check, bad device port check, wrong process check nothing worked, so at the end of the day I somehow managed to download the Stock ROM of Gionee X1 and EVERYONE HAS TO DO IT IN THE END, you'll really need it anyhow.
Now the rooting process,
Tools/Stuff I used:
1. SP Flash Tool(This thing here, is like your hand during examination)
2. MTK Drivers(Important)
3. Stock Gionee X1 ROM
4. Magisk Manager App
I'll attach the Magisk Patched boot.img here along with the scatter so that you can directly flash the boot img instead of wasting time to download the stock rom and etc etc. also you can reply down here if you need any other file, I'll send it to you somehow :3
NOTE: All the images, links, tools, programs and everything belong to their respective owners!! Everything you are doing with the steps above are STIRCTLY your responsibility, if you do it wrong and brick your device you can't charge me for bricking your device, only you and you will be held responsible for any damage/sucess/etc to your device.
Steps to install:
1. Get Stock boot img
2. Install Magisk Manager (DON'T DOWNLOAD IT FROM ANYWHERE use TopJohnWu's Github)
3. Somehow get the Stock boot img into your Internal Storage or anywhere, where Magisk Manager can find and Patch it, Use adb push, connect usb and copy it to the Internal Storage, ANYHOW.
4. After copying, Open Magisk Manager, you'll find two things on the main screen, one is Magisk which has status infos such as (Installed: ), (SAR: ), (A/B: ) and (RAMDISK: ). Within the same square which contains those status info you'll find a Install click on it.
4.1. After clicking on install you'll get a new menu, select next in the Options Square ignoring the choices there(Preserve AVB 2.0 blah blah) and click Next. Now you'll be in the Methods Square here, you select "Select and Patch a File", now locate to the Image and after successfully locating and selecting it click on Let's Go on the right cornor.
4.2. If your image is patched successfully your log in front of you will look something like this:
- Device platform: armeabi-v7a
- Installing: 23.0 (23000)
- Copying image to cache
- Boot image is signed with AVB 1.0
- Unpacking boot image
- Checking ramdisk status
- Stock boot image detected
- Patching ramdisk
- Repacking boot image
- Signing boot image with verity keys

Output file is written to

- All done!

4.3. You have your patched boot image!!
5. Now get the patched image back to your pc -.-
6. Prepare yourself to focus, Im not responsible for your bricked device!
7. Goto This XDA Post for Tutorial and Information about SP Flash Tool, MTK Drivers ADB Drivers, etc etc.
8. Download and Install MTK Drivers(Link Credit: Bovirus' this post)
1. You'll find a exe, just execute it and it'll be installed automatically.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
9. Download and open SP Flash Tool and select Scatter-loading file.
10. Now After you've selected the scatter loading file you'll find there are various selections in front of you, Preloader, lk, boot, recovery and etc etc
10.1. DESELECT or UNSELECT (OR WHATEVER YOU CALL IT) every selection other than boot.
10.2. In the row of boot/bootimg, (remember the patched boot image?) click on LOCATION you'll get a explorer window to locate to the patched boot image, locate and select it. In the last it should look something like this:
https://imgur.com/a/WMbTTAC
10.3. Click on Download in SP Flash Tool and connect the device, see next step.
11. Power Off the device and Remove the battery(See 3. in Issues I faced).
12. Now while pressing the Volume UP and Down Button together, connect the M-USB to your device port. I can't explain this but, firstly connect the USB cable to your pc then to your device haha.
13. You'll hear the device connected sound of Windows(If windows user) and the flashing will start
14. Reboot to OS and Voila! Check your Magisk Manager, your device is now rooted! Do remember to install the Magisk App just below the Magisk Root Check!
Now, issues I faced:
1. Device wasn't connecting to the SP Flash Tool, I reinstalled the MTK Drivers but it didn't do any change.
2. FastBoot flashing didn't work, I opted for SP Flash Tool later.
3. Device was starting into Factory mode and/or Recovery mode whenever I pressed Volume UP/Down and then connecting the device through USB, removable battery came to my rescue. Removed the battery, pressed both volume Up and Down button and then connected the USB.
NOTE: Again, all the images, links, tools, programs and everything belong to their respective owners!! Everything you are doing with the steps above are STIRCTLY your responsibility, if you do it wrong and brick your device you can't charge me for bricking your device, only you and you will be held responsible for any damage/success/etc to your device.
Links for boot.img and scatter file: Here is the MediaFire link, I've scanned the files with my Quick Heal Total Security I'm not those multidadoffspring who likes to spread virus/malware etc. and Here is the VirusTotal Link.
Feel free to tell me my errors and mark how can I improve, I appreciate it
And also, if you need any other file from the Stock ROM of the same device, do tell me here or DM at my insta: heartwastaken
Sorry for my bad English.
Thank you!!
Have a great Day
