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

Enjoy your rooted Yoga tablet with KitKat 4.4.2
So I have rooted my i9100 on May 2013 so I can flash CM KitKat, and the SuperSU was working just fine, same thing when I flashed Lollipop. But since I flashed Marshmallow (In which I encountered some issues as my phone was bricked because I didn't do the repartition thing, but the XDA team solved it :good: ) it's as if my phone isn't rooted at all! SuperSU doesn't pop up anymore asking me to grant root access, apps who require root don't work, but I still can flash ROMs and updates with no problems at all, I'm so confused
Now, I was thinking about rooting it again, but I don't know whether that would be safe or not, so I decided that it's better to ask about it here before I brick my phone for 16,520,735th time
What should I do!?
Android version: 6.0.1
CyanogenMod version: 13.0-20160930-NIGHTLY-i9100
Kernel version: 3.0.101-CM-g43c083a

In CM13, did you enable root for apps in the developer menu (tap the build number a few times)?
SuperSU doesn't work on our device with CM13.

I feel stupid for never checking the Developer Menu :silly:
Thank you so much, worked like a charm
Yes it does, open terminal type:
setenforce 0 this changes selinux to permissive now you can run supersu.
So, Basically !
I Have The
HUAWEI MT7-L09
Android Version : 6.0 (EMUI 4.0)
Super Su Systemless Flashed
Xposed Systemless Installed
Latest Version Of Android N-ify Module Is Installed
The Problem ?
Well It Says Module Is Not Activated... Really Frustrating Because It Seems Like Huawei Phones Are Just Useless In Terms Of These Things Or Did I Do Something Wrong ?
Oh And No Logs Are Available From Xposed As Well, I Have Restarted A Million Times And Stuff.
Hello, I found that for some older versions on Maas360 ( https://www.ibm.com/security/mobile/maas360 ) some Xposed apps can hide root. But in never versions 6.0+ of Maas I found no solution for hiding root. Strange thing is that some phones (elephone P8000 fe.) out of the box are detected as rooted but they are not ... no comments . Do you know if someone is trying to find solution for new version of Maas to be able to run it somehow on rooted or devices that are detected as rooted but they are not? All XDA threads refer to old Mass versions. On Magisk threads there is also not much info. THANKS!
I run an unofficial AEX OS on my Samsung J7 2016, I tried installing the apk recommended on Netflix's site but it shows a message saying this device is not supported by the app. The only solution I found so far is using a modded version of Netflix from 2017. I really want a newer version of the app, even if it's not the latest. Can anyone help me out
Netflix are indeed blocking users who are rooted or have unlocked bootloaders from downloading their app off the Google Play Store. Their latest 5.0.4 release also It's reported that it seems to remain fully functional on rooted/unlocked devices when the application is downloaded from a third-party source, and then installed.
