The Lenovo Yoga Android Tablets 10"(b8000) and 8"(b6000) (aka Yoga Blade) seem to be the red headed step child around here.
I feel like I dropped the ball back in December when I started to try to get CyanogenMod on the b8000 and never finished.
Working with MTK processor was intimidating and demoralizing.
Things seem to have changed a tiny bit since I dropped out. There is a new Firmware update (http://lenovo-forums.ru/topic/5045-rom-yoga-10-b8000-a422-000-072-140122-ww-wifi-ota/) and a TWRP recovery is available (http://lenovo-forums.ru/topic/4517-...oga-tablet-b6000-wi-fi-и-3g-b8000-wi-fi-и-3g/).
There is no update to the kernel source (http://mobilesupport.lenovo.com/en-us/products/yoga_tablet_10?tabname=downloads).
Anyone gotten a custom ROM, especially CM, on the Yoga Blade?
I thought it would be easier to get CM10.1 (Android 4.2.2) up and running, since that is the official stock version.
Of course I'd be ecstatic to get CM11 running.
I'd like to make another attempt at this, but I do not think that I can do it alone.

Is it worth effort?
As this is an MT8389 Soc running @1.2Ghz is it really orth theeffort to do all this CWM/TWRP recoverystuff? Since most of LENOVO phones lower mid range like my A880 is running MT6582M (quadcore), but I am a LENOVO Pc user too. It will be interesting to see development of the YOGA 10 using MT8389 maybe upgrade to CM11 but how many device sout there is currently using MT8389 anymore since MT 6589/6593 is introduced.
there is no motivataion except for die hard YOGA Pad users.
Anyone tried this or has more info?

New Lenovo Yoga 8 tablet owner reporting in.
I have recently bought a lenovo yoga tablet 10 and I am really pissed off that Lenovo took out the multiuser feature from Android.
I hope a ROM or solution will be available sooner or later.
Btw do you think Lenovo will ever offer Android updates?

I am with you on the multi-user feature.
As for ROM updates, they do provide updates every now and then. They even provide update to kitkat for some model. Even cheap A5500 tablet got updated to kitkat.

I am surprise to check that there is an update to Kitkat OS for my MTK CPU tablet last night, download and upgraded to 4.4.2 with half an hours.
I used CPU Z to confirm it is really Android Kitkat OS 4.4.2, sad thing is that some of my app is not working with 4.4.2 OS.
My root is gone and unable to use Framaroot to root my tablet now, still trying other tools to root.
So did anybody managed to root the tablet again after upgrading to 4.4.2?
I've got the update notification but still waiting to upgrade, wanna be sure to have root permissions again first!

Framaroot latest version 1.9.3 still fail to root for OS 4.4.2 but finally manage to did it via Chinese one click root application Vroot
http://www.mgyun.com/en/getvroot
This root tool is very easy to use.
It is different from all other root method which will install super user application on our android device but this root tool will install a Vroot application which include built in super user to manage root access.
You can uninstall your old super user app and it still working fine.

Somebody mentioned that your IMEI number is sent to Vroot when using their application, so if that's true, this wouldn't be very nice...

Here's more info about the vroot method incl step-by-step guide:
http://www.patchworkoftips.com/root-lenovo-yoga-8-android-kitkat/3727/
Personally I'm with the guy who wrote this (i.e. Chukwudi Emmanuel Udegbunam) and leave my fingers off Chinese software that gets (a) installed on my PC and (b) replaces the regular SU binaries with their own version (which apparently cannot be replaced)
Good thing is there DOES seem to exist a root exploit. Hopefully someone on XDA will be able to port it and enable regular SU.

I allowed the update hopeing Levono would have left in the multi user feature.. they deleted it.
I have been experiancing various bugs,, DO NOT ALLOW THE UPDATE!
I wish I could go back. no more root access so the multi user app will not work
biggest issue Pandora, Amazon Music; while streaming the feed will stop for a moment then the music speeds up then slows back down, this stopping happens constently I hate it.
NEED A CUSTOM ROM!!!

Thanks for letting us know.
I will wait to update my tablet.
Upgraded & rooted
Hi,
upgraded my Yoga a few days ago and rooted with Vroot from a virtual machine (disconnected from the net and ready to restore a snapshot ). After that installed SuperSU again, removed the Chinese installations from Vroot and being happy now with a rooted KK-Yoga. :victory:
MultiUser can (according to a little search) be activated after rooting.
Found no bugs in the new rom but I am not using Pandora or Amazon Music.

I just setup the flash tool and flashed the latest 4.4.2 rom from the russian website over my rooted 4.2.2 so far its working fine.
Had one issue where it would turn the screen off.. So it would time out and the screen would go off and the power button would wake it.. But not let it sleep. And holding it wouldn't bring up the power menu. Or even force restart.. But I used the schedule power off feature to get the tablet to shut off.. After I turned it back on it works fine.
Also one note. If you are on 4.2.2 and you rooted it and you deleted system apps. And you can't get the ota update to finish in recovery.. You don't need to flash back to stock 4.2.2 you can instead flash 4.4.2 ROM from the Russian website right over top.. Only problem is it goes to setup in Chinese if you can get through it you can change the language back to english

There is many Chinese root tool which is able to root our Yoga tablet with KitKat.
My advise is to unroot your tablet before apply the KitKat 4.4.2 update from Lenovo.
Two of us report same issue of unable to root with the latest update of KitKat 4.4.2 released last week by Lenovo to fixed the bug issue of the first release of KitKat.
We had to flash back the original KitKat 4.4.2 ROM to root again.

You can even try the Kinguser APK method to root your Yoga Kitkat 4.4.2

Hi
I have troubles rooting my mediapad x1.First i upgraded original firmware to B006 version.Then I ve tried to root using rootgenius. The installation failed at 75% and my antivirus recognized it as a malware. Is it normal ? Some people used anzhi root instead of rootgenius. Is this program safe and better works?

Disable all your antivirus programs before running the root genius program

OK but why is it detected as a virus? I want to be sure it's not harmful

B006 Update
I have an update on my X1 B))6 that fails and wont down load. Any ideas what is going on.
*Make sure you have AntiVirus off as "mobile88" mentioned...also make sure in Settings | Security |Verify Apps is UNCHECKED! Google will block root process.
Used Root Genius on 503L B006, ran program, X1 restarted, then program says unsuccessful. I checked my phone and there was no "KingUser" in my Nova Launcher drawer, but KingUser did install itself as a systems app. Download Root checker from play store and confirmed that X1 is rooted, despite Root Genius saying it failed.
I downloaded SuperSU from play store and updated the binary, and uninstalled KingUser.
Just downloaded a 358mo update on G850F unbranded France
So?
& info
any improvements?
Any changes..??
Just had the update too. I didn't notice anything going better or wrong since this morning.
The Samsung app 'Smart Manager' appeared on my home screen.
I also had the update notification today. Here's the changelog on the installation screen :
- Security breach fix
- Smart Manager function
- General performance improvement
- Battery life optimisation
- Device security improvement
Update also available in Portugal (358,35MB)
Still Android v5.0.2.
The Smart Manager has a device security function provided by Intel Security (a kind of anti-virus that searches for potential threats). Also a new function "Samsung My Knox" that allows to create secure workspaces (I don't know what it does, didn't installed).
Tried to root it?
Can it be rooted with KingRoot?

Where can i download and install it with my pc ?
I rarely update. I'm still on 5.0.2 and the kernal is from august....that was the last update I did. I never see any point in it. And everything runs fine.
The new update is orobably a security update that fixes StageFright exploit.

20160118 PHN Update
Bringing my cents to the table.
Last night i updated to this latest version:
http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/download/64361/G850FXXU2COL1_G850FPHN2COL1_PHN/
Got it rooted with CF-Autoroot.
When i tried to restore the backup taken with Titanium backup it got hung for several hours at 0%.
Should someone encounter similar behavior the solution is to disable "Mount namespace separation" in SuperSU.
Hope this helps to someone. I have spent 2 very nervous hours fuguring this one out
You managed to root it with CF-Autoroot? It's a pretty new firmware I see, that is great news! I only managed to root the new roms by using an older kernel!

the trick is to use the zip file from chainfire's web site. it contains Odin and more importantly the .ini file especially modified for it's root package.
basically there is absolutely no reason why it should not work regardless the kernell
// sorry for my English, I have the mother of all hangovers today
Believe me I've tried that with COI3 variant and at that moment in time it didn't worked, 2-3 months ago.
Later edit: The process involved flashing an older kernel then simply flashing SuperSU. I've put a link in my signature.

Hello, I bought a cell phone in China and my surprise is that, when I announced that it was an international version, it only comes to me in Chinese and English, without google play and I have tested all the root apk and can not root it. ..
brand: Leneo R9 max, on the mobile appears 4G + R9, GXI R9
Say that you have installed a layer FREEMEOS 6.2, Android 6.1 Marshmallow .....
Haber if you can help me install root to this mobile or at least google play without root, since I test all the videos and tutorials and it does not leave me I ask you a little help
Hello
The best thing would be to port a recovery like twrp for your phone, then flash supersu and gapps.
I could help you make the recovery if you could send me your stock recovery

I m also using this and you need to flash ported recovery.img (if u know and ever use SP flash tool) then install SuperSU with wireless mouse to run its TWRP.
Another option is install magisk from xda but need to flash boot.img with ADB.
HI I'm from Brazil, I buy a samsung sm g611 MT yesterday and after I tried to put the bootloader in the ON mode, I came across only with "usb debug" options, but no longer "bootloader" option, I researched in google,youtube,and nothing solve my problem they said this option appears in some time and its necessary wait 7 days without turn de phone off,
so I've been thinking , would be possible to discconect from internet, and use some app like cheat engine who BE ABLE to "change the time" and bypass the 7 days ? with HEX ...
So if possible then we don't need no longer wait 7 days more , to "bootloader" option pop up..
As I see in this post I belive its necessary install this ".zip" to block the "reactivation" of RMM right? this ".zip" works fine in android 8, september patch?
and this RMM really activate by himself?
-if yes people who install root and other will brick their phones because rmm will lock phone with root installed , so its would be super necessary the installation of .zip file
is that true?
Its hard survive without root nowadays

Dude I've been using root for 2 months and yeah there is root for this phone
Actually I had to back the phone to Android 7.1 and it's working pretty well only one more thing, my friends already have root for Android 8.0 but I'm happy here with this Android 7.1 I created my first v
additional information: someone who already unlock this bootloader , could put the files here ? to install twrp, and magisk root , it would be really nice, and I'll be grateful
It seems you have learned english with Tim Explica isn't it?
Alright, let's check the facts. No one has compiled TWRP for our phone and we're not gonna have root either.

Alright, I think there is some trick to make this work. However I couldn't manage to the custom recovery because the system replaces with the original stock recovery. I'm not mad at all, but I will try again.
