Would be very grateful for a link for Lenovo A7600 Rom for Lollipop O/S. A link other than that posted in 3 parts on a spam site.
Thanks

Ive just picked up one of these tablets and managed to root it and install custom revcovery.
To be honest I think there are zero custom ROM for this device and the supposed Lollipop ROM on those spam sites are bound to be a load of virus. I have seem three or four such 3 part download sites all of which are hidden behind a survey. All the comments on the sites are exactly the same but are posted by different people depending what site you look at which indicates they can't be trusted.
I have tweeted Lenovo to see if they plan a Lollipop update but no reply yet.
I think we need to either need to learn how to port or find a dev that can do it

Really nice to see your response, would you be kind enough to inbox me with your custom recovery. I really need to even get the stock rom to reflash if you could help. Thanks so much for replying and if we can get someone interested in porting to LP i would happy to contribute.

There isn't a Lollipop ROM yet for A7600f. It is possible to root and get custom recovery installed but as far as I can tell there is no official lollipop update or custom ROM development at all
Legit?

I checked the link and it is for the S8 smartphone which also as model number A7600. If you have that smartphone you test it at your own risk but if you are talking about a rom for A7600F tablet it won't be compatible.
As Lenovo don't seem to be official updating the A7600F tablet im guessing we need a custom rom. Unfortunately I don't think it's that popular a tablet so won't pull in developers and regrettably I'm not skilled enough to even know where to start.

I received the s8 a7600 with android 5.0 - it looks like that OS is just installed by seller, with multiple application that are a huge adware/spam generators. I tried to remove all (root/remove apps), but it destroys a little the functionality (dialer has opacity - not so easy to find what is going on, camera not working at all). But generally works. If anyone has skills - I am sure it can be easy fixed (for example install 3rdparty dialer - but that one from lenovo is pretty fine). But I think I will update phone with stock ROM, but I need to find how to do that safely and be sure I can back to the actual software...

A bit of a necro here ...
Yep, it is a long-winded guide. I wrote everything as best I could just in case.
I'd be surprised if more than 5 people are still looking to root this device. But for those folks, I updated the guide tonight.
I hadn't used the tablet much until this past week, my phone was doing better and I was only using the tablet for streaming videos as a portable TV. However my phone died and I finally got around to re-rooting the tablet (I has lost root after applying an OTA update about a year ago).
And no, there are not any custom ROMs ... no Lollipop ... no Marshmallow ... never Nougat ... for this tablet. This guide is PURELY for getting root on 4.4.
That said, here is the short version ... this MAY work on a never-rooted A10 A7600F ... it may only work to REFRESH the root. I have no good way of knowing as there isn't a chance in hell I'm going to revert everything to stock to find out
Glad to know at least 10 people got help from the guide.
UPDATE 9/22/2016:
Revised Steps are simple:
* Download Kingo Root (not King Root, that failed) APK version for Android.
* Run Kingo Root.
* If it fails, reboot, and try again (mine failed the first time)
* Assuming Kingo Root worked the second time (if not, see the original detailed steps below) ... DON'T REBOOT yet (when I did this, the root disappeared, so I had to run Kingo Root a 3rd time)
* Install a Root Checker and verify root access
* Install (first time) or uninstall and re-install (updating is fine if yours was out of date) SuperSU by Chainfire (other SuperSU may or may not work, Chainfire worked for me)
REBOOT
* Re-run Root Checker to verify root access (don't run Kingo Root before this) ... it should be using SuperSU to grant root, NOT Kingo
* If rooted, uninstall Kingo Root
* REBOOT
* Re-run Root Checker to make sure SuperSU continued to work after removing Kingo Root.

There are multiple "A7600" devices out there. This is specifically for the A7600F, aka the A10. Different device, ROMs not compatible with other A7600 devices. Lenovo can burn in hell both for their lack of updates as well as their naming conventions.
Hi all,
I have ported a CM13 ROM to this device to bring us to Android 6.0.1. if anyone is interested I will start a thread for and provide instructions and a link later today.

You seem to be all over the place asking this same question, I'll answer it with the answer I got just by reading the threads that you've posted this question on.
1. He is testing it on the Verizon Note 4 (Non-Dev Edition) FIRST
2. Once its successful ( which it isn't as of this post) he will Attempt to make it work For you AT&T Note 4 Users.
I'm sorry if this seems rude, but you've literally asked this 5 times to my knowledge and I've only been aware of this ROM being developed for 30 minutes as of this post, and I was able to answer your question.
hsbadr said:
IMPORTANT INFORMATION: THE METHOD USED IN THIS THREAD IS SUCCESSFUL ON UNROOTED DEVELOPER EDITION WITHOUT USING A RECOVERY OR AUTOROOT. FOR RETAIL EDITION, IT IS NOT A KINGROOT ISSUE AT ALL. THE LOCKED BOOTLOADER SENDS A FLAG TO UFS CONTROLLER TO WRITE PROTECT PARTITIONS INCLUDING SYSTEM. I AND @gatesjunior ARE INVESTIGATING A WORKAROUND TO REMOVE WRITE PROTECTION.
THIS MAY TAKE A LONG TIME AND IS NOT GUARANTEED !

I've only referred to this twice one in here and the other in the root progress thread. Also his initial post about this was sent 19 h ago ,I was kind of hoping he'd have all of this sorted out before posting anything. I'm glad he didnt give up like others did ,but even the Dev root thread was closed due to his post and other reasons. Thanks for answering though I actually wanted to know if anyone else was daring enough to test this on their own behalf using the at&t model ,I wasn't referring to him directly. I guess asking the simplest of questions annoys people very quickly ,I'll make sure to be specific and only post once next time.

Yeah, no hard feelings, next time more info would be better. Don't ever be afraid of writing a long post, If anyone comes to XDA, they know that the more INFO the better they can help you.
do you think he will be able to get the final touches on this method?
I've been following this thread since I first bought my note 4 in December I never posted because I don't have anything informative but I'm very phyced never had a device longer then a week without root; do you guys actually think root will be fully accomplished it seems like we keep hitting roadblock after roadblock? And what's up with this king root v4.0 who developed this and was it actually made for the note t or does it just happen to kind of work for vzw note ?

Kingroot works for various devices and happened to give temporary root for the note 4. That added a huge filling of the root progress bar for the note 4. Temporary root can lead to good things. These devs work hard and I am sure it will be root-able soon. As for an ETA, "It'll happen when it happens". I'm being positive about it.
I was gong to mention this earlier. Hopefully temp root could assist in removing security from the boot loader, from what I've read the boot loader is what is preventing full root. This would also allow us recovery and ability to flash roms/kernels hopefully unlocking the bootloader is easier now!

I wish it were that simple. Sadly, I don't think we will ever have a bootloader unlock. I am sure that we will have root, though. I am fine with just root. XDA devs have worked like crazy to get it and they are so very close.
Patience is the key to success trust me.....
should I do this method
I'm not 100 percent sure should I not do this method yet I don't mind testing it but will I achieve root If done correctly on my Verizon note 4

Temp root only on retail edition. Bootloader fsends a flag to kernel and it write protects cetrain partitions including system, the way I read it. And THAT (write protection) is keeping us from full root because we cant write superuser to system partition
(im dumb and may not have pieced it all together right, but thats how I understand it)
YouTube video kingroot??
Theres a video on youtube posted a few hrs ago by droidmodderx the same guy whp did the april fools joke with note 4 root method: he is claiming the kingroot qorks for note 4 on lollipop with no issues and even roots it on camera with his verizon note 4, i cant tell though if he's running lollipop but it Def is a Verizon note 4; I can't post links cuz I'm a newbie the funny think is I've been using XDA for 2 years just never posted I'm sure if you search YouTube for Verizon note 4 root and change the search options for videos in last week it will pop up from Droidmodderx Root
A DevEd Note4 can be done, Retail can not because of the write protection... Unless you can see if its dev or retail I wouldnt buy into the hype. Read what our devs here are saying about it in the root rom and multisystem threads
Comments on video are filled with people saying it doesnt work and that root is lost on reboot, and that this causes random reboots...

Yes, the video mentioned in OP... this one. You see no real info about the phone other than the word verizon on the backplate, and the fact that he ran Kingroot and Root Checker. But the comments are a mixed bag of claims. Lots say it doesnt work or stops halfway, or causes random reboots..

Oh this video yea I saw this one. I thought that was from the LP thread here.
I see the instructions however I would prefer seeing video so I don't screw anything up
@hsbadr has said to wait for final instructions and the accompanying video. Im twitchy... I wanna try it anyways, but I dont fancy the idea of a (possibly) compromised device. Ill wait til we get fixed up with the prerooted rom and multisystem. Hell... I've waited this long already. Ive almost forgotten what i wanted root for with some of the non-root replacements Ive found.

The instructions have been already updated (works perfectly on unrooted Developer Edition), but Samsung implements write protection on the system partition for Retail Edition only (tripped by the locked bootloader) & so, all our changes get lost after a reboot (even if you deleted directories in /system, they'll come back after rebooting the device). We're working on a workaround...

Hello everyone,
this is my first post in this forum, so i'm excusing in advance if this is the wrong place for this post.
I have a samsung tab sm-t110 which is very slow on every action. I try to format it, but I see no improvement. I then look around to know a little about root and roms.
I read several thread in this forum and i have some question.
1) I'd like to speed up my tablet and remove unnecessary apps, do I just need to root it? If yes, can you confirm is this thread the one I need to follow carefully?
2) What action do you suggest to do after?
3) If you think it would be better use a rom, which one do you suggest?
Sorry if my questions are silly, I'm new and wish to know better this world before starting manipulating my devices
And thanks to whoever will spent his time answering
As far your device, you should first root it . And thn use 3rd party soft wares to delete the unnecessary apps. This will help a lot and you can also download Lineage for your device .
I root the device successfully
Thanks for the clean and easy-to-follow guide (can't write in the thread, it's closed)
For now I'll try using the rooted device with some app.
Really last question for now, what would be the best ROM? The Lineage OS that seems will be out for the end of July?
Its cynogenmod

Hi guys
I have galaxy tab s 8.4 t705. All I need is to know whats the best firmware for this device. I also need to be provided by all the steps from the beginning as I have no idea about installing custom rom. I have done this with other devices but it was different. It might be alot but I hope that you help me with
1- all the steps from the beginning including installing twrp and everything necessary as my device has its stock firmware
2- the best firmware with the download link and all other things to install with their download links too.
please dont give me links to other pages as I tried everything they mentioned and nothing works
Thanks in advance

I knew no one is going to reply as usual
what a useless website
where are the so called developers and problem solvers.
probably dead from coronavirus
So, my Mi A2 Lite just decided to make 3g/4g not work anymore.
I was thinking of installing a custom ROM but I'm scared of that anti-rollback thing; you know, I'd prefer not to brick my device.
I was looking into HavocOS and POSP: my device is on Pie and has Magisk on it.
How can I install a custom ROM without bricking the device? (I need my phone, lol)
EDIT:
also, what about downgrading? I saw someone managed to do that but I'd like to be sure
EDIT2:
I just ran "fastboot getvar anti" and it gave me "anti: " with no value, why is that?

Hi, thanks for replying.
I saw those threads, but anti-rollback is not mentioned anywhere.
That's why I started this thread, to be sure that I'm not missing anything haha
So can I proceed with those guides without worrying about ARB?
