I'm getting itchy for a new tablet. The Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 looks uninteresting, especially for the price. Plus, Samsung is getting more difficult to root. The forthcoming Lenovo Tab 4 10 Plus is interesting, especially for the price. Although I'd have to wait until May.
The real question, is it likely that I'll be able to root the Tab 4? I'm not looking for a guarantee, just an opinion. I've never had a Lenovo android device, so I don't know how they tend to treat this question.

Although, basically every device is Rootable. Lenovo usually keeps their custom version of Android close to stock, so it shouldn't have any problems.
Still no root available?
Hi, I got my Lenovo Tab 4 10 Plus today and it appears there is still no root instruction available. I tried Framaroot and KingRoot but both failed miserably. Towelroot did not even install - but I believe that one works on older Android versions only anyway.
All instructions on the Web are obviously fake and even on the Lenovo board there is nothing usable about the Tab 4...
I believe the Tab 4 is already out since a couple of month now.
Is it really possible that nobody has rooted it so far?
Does somebody here know how to root that tablet?
lenovo Tab 4 8" is a fair Tab. However browser is freezing up on the regular.

Lenovo Tab 4 8" is not a adult tablet. However the browser is freezing up on the regular already. Hoping to find a root for the device soon.

The tablet hasn't been released everywhere yet (including the US) so perhaps when it does, there will be a lot of people attempting to find a way to root.

No clue if the information is correct, but that link
tabletmonkeys.com/lenovo-tab-4-10-android-7-1-tablet
says it has been released more than one month ago in the US.

There is no rooting method available for Lenovo tab 4 10 plus. But you can try it with one click root applications available.
None of them works with the Tab 4.

That's for the non-plus variants; I was referring to the Plus variants.

OK, thanks for the clarification! I didn't expect that they release the non-plus and the plus separated... Do you have up to date information when the plus release in the US is planned?
for now, I have tried all the root method none of them working. kingo. iroot. have been google all day.
I am seeking for the method as well, please help.
For Lenovo Tab 4 10 Plus and Lenovo Tab 4 8 Plus root is possible by unlocking bootloader, booting (not flahsing) TWRP and flashing SuperSU or Magisk. I made a howto in a german forum. I think matshias (who build TWRP for both devices) make a howto on xda in the near future.

1. You don't need a unlock code from Lenvo. The command fastboot oem unlock-go work without a code.
2. It exists TWRP for the Tablet (I linked it in my howto). The only thing is, better not to flash it, only boot it.
3. see 2.

Do you know if this work on the standard Lenovo Tab 4 8" ( Not the Plus) ?
No, only for the Plus versions. Maybe matshias build sometimes a version for the non Plus.

Here is TWRP for the Plus version: https://forum.xda-developers.com/thinkpad-tablet/general/twrp-root-tab-4-plus-tb-x704l-f-tb-t3664407
Here are experimental TWRP builds for Tab 4 8/10. Let me know if they work.

Would rooting it possibly fix the sdcard issues ( I have a non plus tab)
If you search the Lenovo forums you'll see it mentioned there( mine is doing it also)
hmmm
Has anyone successfully ported Android to the HP Elite x3? If so, how is it Done? I love the phone, but it would be immensely more useful on Android.

Any luck?
I'm also stuck with this problem...
Since HP officially shutting down phone operations, maybe it is possible to ask them for whatever is needed to so that the community can develop android Rom? Something like happened in old good days with HTC HD2 (i know they didn't provide officially but they released HTC Desire which was on android)?
I have also HP elite X3 and it is imposible for now to install android into phone, I would likte to try is that exist.
Also In dec.2017 there is a big ugrade 1709 for windows and HP elite X3.
So this platform for sure is not dead, also for me better is to run android apps on WP than to install android.
After a couple of years I was back to microsoft, android i so buggy but on different side there is much more apps on android.
We just need emulatr for android or side install for apk.s

I am talking to people in HP to see what we can do.
Me too
Hello to all,
I'm a WP die hard fan, however with the imminent death of the platform, I would like to continue to use this device and explore its potential. If anyone has any info on ROMs that can be ported to the HP Elite X3 that would be great.
i also want a fix for this....
One more subscriber for this solution. I have 2 Elite X3 phones and will be twice happier to have Android on both devices. This is the best hardware and its really deserve Android.
Yes, I would like that, too. The hardware is awesome, but WP10 is dead. Apps are disappearing now...

Yep, just reached the end of the road with the Elite X3 with the withdrawal of Messenger, the family communications medium.
The frustrating bit is that I would take it almost as read that someone in HP's skunkworks would have made a decent stab at porting Android to the X3, but it remains at the bottom of some virtual filing cabinet.
How good would it be of HP to put it on Google Play ...
Any news on Android porting to HP Elite x3?
Hello,
Some new about a solution to install android on x3 ??

Hi All,
I'm an engineer looking to upgrade a product which uses an old Altel smartphone. I'm experienced in Unlocking and flashing. I have already done a search, but now in 2020, there may be new info.
Looking for suggestions for the best CHEAP android phone which has good custom ROM support for android 7+ (ish).
I need to use the back camera, and connect via wifi, bluetooth, or Cellular Data. It will be tested in the US, but may benefit from support for many globally common 3g and 4g bands.
One last thing. Would love to find something I can still buy a few dozen of NEW, or at least MFG REFURB.
Can anyone suggest suitable phones? So far, been considering late nexus line and early pixel line, knowing they're flash unlockable.
Thank you for reading! Apologies if I hit the wrong section of the forum.

There are no *NEW* cheap phones that have custom ROM support unfortunately. But used phone are an option : ) If you want official ROM support (Even to this day!), you can get a Samsung Galaxy S4 for 50$, an S5, Note 3 (Android 9 - 10 support!).
If you want a used phone at 100-150$, you can get a A5 2017, Google Pixel 1, Nexus 6 (Don't buy the 6p)
If you want to get a Brand new phone: Moto G7 and G6 Plus (200-250$). (Theese phones have a more complicated process of modding)
You can check the Lineage OS download Page here: https://download.lineageos.org/ Theese are all of the supported devices.
If you don't want to have any difficulties, you can get a Samsung but be careful with the variants! Get the international or Canadian variant because if you get a US variant, there are no methods of unlocking the device (except for the S5 and less) You can also get the Google Pixel, but do not buy the US variant. Same for the nexus devices...
Your knowledge and help are much appreciated.
Can you offer advice on USB OTG Compatibility with various phones on Lineage? I've had mixed results in the past with stock ROMs.

All of the phones I mentioned have OTG capability
Probably almost all phone supported by lineage have OTG. Don't worry about that.

I have 2 Samsung Galaxy S3 ( circa 2012 ) and while they are far from new, they are great phones to play around with.
I am far from experienced, but I have enjoyed flashing Custom ROM's , from CyanogenMod, thru various versions of Lineage, and now CrDroid. The newest O/S that I flashed is CrDroid 3.8.9 ( based on Android 7.1.2 - I think! ). Runs great. Stable. Long battery life. Ran ( 'right out of the box' ) without any need to install Gapps.
The nice thing is the Samsung Galaxy S3 is so darn abundant. Seems that everybody has one collecting dust in a drawer. And that means they are cheap ( as in give it away ). All the Samsung Galaxy S3 came with unlocked bootloader ( I think that is the term ) except for the Verizon model.
Icing on the cake is, a fellow from Montreal, alexenferman, is the genious authour of the CrDroid Custom ROM.
Hi,
I own the Teclast P10HD https://www.teclast.com/en/zt/P10HD/
I want to root it, and if possible install Android 10, I have searched the forums but found nothing about it (There's a thread about the older P10 which has different hardware).
Any help is highly appreciated.
I've been trying to root the device but traditional methods don't work as the boot partition can't be unlocked, also the key method used for other devices made by the same chipset manufacturer doesn't work either. There's a flashing tool provided by the manufacturer but it only works on Windows and I don't own a copy so I couldn't try it. Let's hope someone is able to unlock the device as the hardware is pretty decent
This device has something odd.
Antutu reports the same speed of a mate pad t8 and many other tablets, but it's not very responsive.
I think android is not very optimized for this unisoc, what do you think?
It get much nicer with poco launcher and mi camera but still it looks a bit slow for a 2020 device

you need to bear in mind that it has only 3 GB RAM, which is not ideal for a 2020 android device. I use it mainly for internet relating activities and social network apps. I installed some lite games and they work fine. Given its extremely low price, its value is good.
Did you manage to find any custom ROM that works on it?

The mate pad has 2gb so that's not the question.
The p10hd can run everything, it gives no problems but generally speaking it is not that fluid.
I know Huawei or xiaomi can probably add some optimizations here and there, maybe a version 10 of android and a teclast custom launcher could help it. Let's see if they prefer to launch new devices or are now working on those they already produce to experiment a bit.
However, unisoc is pretty good, now that chromeos is getting lighter, it would be nice to see it on this soc

Sorry but I didn't get this line. What is Unisoc? and what does chromium have to do with it?
By the way, does Teclast usually upgrade the software or are we gonna stuck to what we got?

No idea on teclast upgrade policies but I guess we're OK considering that m16 is still on android 8.
Unisoc is the cpu soc brand. It's quite cheap but not bad at all, I was only guessing how chromeos would run on it. Chromeos includes android and Linux apps, it's going to be an os we will find very often in the next years. I would try a color e-ink too in it, to make cheap long-lasting edu tools available to a huge lot of people: add the embedded 4g/5g connection support and you get wherever you want

I was wondering if you guys think it will be possible to root the oneplus nord 2 in the near future? I know this is mostly speculation, but what are your predictions? Just to be clear; I know there probably won't be a lot of custom roms for this device because of the Mediatek processor. I don't mind staying on Oxygen OS, I just need root for system wide adblocking on my device. Thanks in advance!
Would also love an answer on this!

You can try this to block ads
You can use adguard dns in Private DNS settings. Go to Settings=>Connection and Sharing=>Private DNS=>Designated Private DNS here u enter dns[dot]adguard[dot]com
Now you should not see any ads.
