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.

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.

Its pretty long winded but it worked for me. As you will be using your own device its at your own risk if you decide to use the link

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.

I used it.. 2 years ago till now.. ?
I'm sorry to any of the admins for posting this if it is in the incorrect section, but I find this devices forum very confusing. The only thread that is related to this actual device (the LG G-Pad 10.1) is the TWRP recovery one. I managed to root this device and install recovery, but NONE of the ROMs listed here - or original development section - are actually compatible! THESE ARE ALL FOR THE V400 AND V410 7 INCH TABLET, NOT THE 10.1! Should they all be labeled as mis-categorized?
Am I wrong about this? Is there actually someone who developed a ROM for the LG-V700 model?
I agree: this forum is confusing me too.
Inside the G Pad 10.1 (V700) section I continue to find ROMs for other LG devices.
Is it normal?
Are devices compatible at ROM level?
Thanks for your answers and time.
No answer and no info
Also same question here... where are the roms for the V700 model or in any case where is the info about compatibility between models ???
Can anyone clarify this ??
Thanks a lot.
in the same boat, any info about how to root on lollipop would be great. I just want root, not custom recovery. ive tried a few different lg tools, one-click and script for 'all' lg's but none have worked so far. how did you root your lg v700 10.1 and what software were/are you running. thanks
You need rootjunky files for lg g4 and there in no kernel or rom for vk700
You may be wondering why these devices haven't received Lollipop yet. The issue is, yet again, the MT8389 processor, which is based off of the MT6589.
I.nfraR.ed posted yesterday on the main CyanogenMod on MTK devices thread:
I.nfraR.ed said:
Do you see anyone working on CM for 6589? Most of the people moved to other chipsets.
Maybe chrmhoffmann and DerTeufel are still working on this, but I don't know anyone else who has not moved to newer device.
I have moved to Redmi Note 2.
For lollipop there's no mt6589 source and although it might be possible, it would be enormous amount of work. I don't have so much free time and have a full-time job after all.
I can't leave my regular job just to work on side projects.
So, no...unless someone else is on to development for Lenovo A820/A830, then don't expect fully working CM or ROMs based on Android 5+.
If for some reason I leave my regular job and have some "free" months, then I will be able to work on this project, because I still have my A820 with me. Not likely to happen.
My KK kernel is public, so anyone can continue from where I left.

Development support for the MT6589 has been (mostly) lost, and consequently, so has support for the MT8389. This means that, until a compatible kernel for 5.x.x appears, the likelihood of both of the devices being upgraded to CM12 or 5.x.x is very low.
That doesn't mean it's not possible, however; simply unlikely.
According to the specs the A3000 has a MT8125. Is support for this also gone?

Yes, I'm afraid this is the Wi-Fi only version of the MT8389.
I was on it..but moved to another..not at all able to boot it up..now there is a hope because of 3.4.67 kernel..again working on it???
CM12+ for A3000-H
Looking forward to CM12+ on our beloved A3000-H:highfive:
Hi guys, I have just finished doing my A3300 with Cyan's 5.1.1, all is working except for camera
Hello,
I'm currently running JasmineROM (v3.1-LRX22C.N910VVRU2BOG5; based on Android 5.0.1) on my Note4 Developer Edition ("SMN910VZKE" and "Developer Device" under battery) with TWRP (v2.8.7.0) recovery.
I'd like to update to a ROM with Android 6.0.1, and have read good things here about the PaulPizzRom [1] (and the Oscar kernel [2]).
I've backed up my partitions to a separate microSD card using dd, Nandroid, and TWRP.
Is it safe for me to flash (some version of?) "PaulPizzRom.VRU2CPJ2.r-1" [2] and still keep my (aboot to keep my?) Developer Version and not have it turn into Retail? -or will flashing "PaulPizzRom.VRU2CPJ2.r-1" [2] turn my Developer Edition Note4 into a Retail version?
Also, if I am able to flash a Marshmallow ROM to my Note4 Developer Edition, do I still need to flash a Marshmallow bootloader and modem [3] separately (as mentioned here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4-verizon/general/repeat-questions-rom-threads-t3422678 ) ?
Thanks for any advice anyone might have!

The difference between retail and dev editions is the CID. I have converted my retail into a dev so that I can unlock the bootloader. Upgrade to latest firmware, unlock botloader, install TWRP, and you're good to go. Paul Pizz is a great rom. It's my daily driver.

woah meow.....
the dev edition has a known screen flicker bug that needs to be considered that isn't applicable to the ret/dev . with the dev edition you will require multisystem kernel to correct flicker. kinda backassward .....actual dev edition isn't as nice as the retail for development.

Thanks for the info.
Is a multisystem-capable kernel specifically required, or is the issue just that the stock kernel has the flicker issue, and an alternate kernel (w/out the same flicker issue) is required to resolve it?
e.g. I've heard good things about the Oscar Kernel [1] here, would flashing that also be sufficient to resolve the flicker issue you mention (on Note4 Developer Edition, SM-N910VMKEVZW) after upgrading to "PaulPizzRom.VRU2CPJ2.r-1" (Marshmallow 6.0.1), even though the Oscar Kernel doesn't appear to be a multisystem kernel?
If the Oscar Kernel won't fix that Note4 Developer Edition screen flicker issue (haven't experienced it myself, still trying to figure out the exact steps before trying to upgrade), what multisystem kernel would everyone suggest?

Unfortunately multi system is required. The issue occurs on anything other than stock and multi system. On the upside the dev responsible for mulltusystem is a recognized emotroid team member . I run it even though I have other options best battery experience ever

There seem to be a lot of multisystem kernels out there, mind sharing a link / post where I can find the one that you (or anyone else?) might suggest for my Note 4 Developer Edition that I'm planning on flashing "PaulPizzRom.VRU2CPJ2.r-1" on?

No worries man . this device in my opinion is the last of a long line of kings that came from Verizon. The note5 didn't impress and I can't stand the edge (yuck) . I had the dev edition but let it go cause by the specs this phone was really just a lil nicer note 3 . a year ago I got the retail secondhand and fell in love . in application this bad boy is so much smoother than its predecessor which again says a lot. There was literally nothing better than the 3 when it hit but I think this one stayed relevant longer. If u can get the blasted battery life under control its fantastic . its the one real flaw with the galaxy s series .....battery is dead way too fast
firmware ?

I recently purchased an tab S4 just an update from my previous Samsung tablet. I was wondering is there more ROMs for this tablet or ROMs currently in development? I noticed theres like 2 ROMs for this tablet. I have a note 8 and I'm currently running deluxerom on and it, and I really enjoy the tweaks and customization I'm able to do. I was looking for a same kind of feature for my tablet. Would greatly appreciate the answers I'm looking for. Thanks!

Pretty much zero support. You can get a few 9.0 GSI ROMs to boot, but they all have issues. Mine has been sitting around since it was purchased while still using my old 2014 model.

I had thought the same thing, but it seems the S3 is the last tablet to get real support.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/project-treble/trebleenabled-device-development
Some of the ones for 9 will work, but most features won't work too well, if at all.
You might be able to get another rom to work, I know I had no luck. Even trying ones with similar hardware, they all failed to even flash since the booting numbers are different.
Kind of have to be satisfied with Samsung, half baked custom roms or sell the thing.

When I got the stock firmware back and then when I flash TWRP with odin after going into TWRP I get 0mb as internal
so when I format and then go back into my load up the screen after SAMSUNG says "verification failed" and then reset
on the bottom. I tried other options as well. Without even wiping on TWRP the devices boots up into the setup wizard for the firmware fine
but after I wipe TWRP so I can get access to my internal drive my samsung boots into that verification reset screen. Got any clue as to how I can
resolve this issue? Thanks a bunch!

Hey! Thanks for your reply, will this work for PIE? I can't downgrade from PIE to OREO
and I don't know if GSI even works properly on my device

Have you tried just reloading the latest stock firmware from scratch?
Yup, its unfortunate that there isn't much community support for this device. The Tab S4 is Project Treble supported and a few GSI ROMS do work. But as others have said they are unstable and not for use as a daily driver. We have a few discussion threads here talking about them.

Would that work? If I did that I would still be able to download and install TWRP and have a root? Because of it being PIE

I am going to do more research on these projects because I really wish there was more ROMs its quite an amazing tablet but the potential with the stock ROM lacks a lot

Generic System Image (GSI) list :
https://github.com/phhusson/treble_experimentations/wiki/Generic-System-Image-(GSI)-list
you can try only "Android 9 Pie" official or unofficial gsi roms..
and remember ! Some GSIs roms maybe are not compatible with some devices! you can ask for your device on each thread
(for example look here): https://github.com/phhusson/treble_experimentations/issues/777
(usually this Gsi aosp 9 phh, generally works on most devices...BUT! ask first,and discuss it in the thread)

Can I do this without stock ROM and only TWRP? Because having the stock ROM is disabling my twrp to function without wiping and if I wipe than my stock ROM doesn't work
Thanks!

Sorry,but I don't understand what do you mean " without stock rom and only twrp"...
you can install a Gsi rom, with two ways
Via TWRP, or Via Fastboot : https://www.xda-developers.com/flash-generic-system-image-project-treble-device/ (Tab S4 is a-only arm64)
for any other question, it is better to ask in the thread : https://forum.xda-developers.com/pr...vice-development/aosp-9-0-phh-treble-t3831915
(read carefully in OP & you can post,every single question there for your device,and you will get certainly help from the developer or from any other user..)

You are going to have to just wipe it and start over from square one, unless you made a TWRP backup before starting all of this.
Download and flash the latest stock rom from recovery and then you can load twrp again.
I was looking at the possibility of using GSI's on some devices, and while they can offer new life to older devices, they're not entirely stable all the time unless you're willing to make your own changes. I know Lineage has made some excellent progress, but it's not fullproof yet and I wouldn't try it unless you're willing to not use your device as a daily use device.
I had an extra T-Mobile Revvlry which is basically a rebranded Moto g7 Play that I installed the Lineage GSI image and it works fairly well. However, this is more the exception to the rule and Moto devices, I feel, are far simpler in design vs certain Samsung devices. It also had a ton of trial and error involved for me to get it up and running properly.
Is it possible as the s4 becomes older, more people buy it and Samsung stops releasing official updates that someone will come along and create a ROM for it? Or is it more like Samsung locked the bootloaders and its close to impossible to write a ROM for it? Is it still possible to root the s4?

Read very carefully without rush ! for " WETA Kernel + Encryption disabler " etc
especially, read the user comments carefully, and ask on the thread for any questions you have..

Thanks. I took a quick peak at the roms and kernels in the roms and kernels forum and they are pretty much all abandoned.
Someone did mention that the LOS 16.0 and ArrowOS GSI's work alright but are a bit buggy.

samsung,maybe at the end of july to give the upgrade to android 10....it is very likely to happen I think
yes,all Gsi Roms still have various problems unfortunately...
my opinion is: stay to stock rom for now....you can "uninstall" many applications if you want & without root, via "samsung package disabler"(paid) from playstore, or with this way:
https://beebom.com/how-remove-bloatware-android-without-root/
also,you can Install "NiceLock Downloader Companion App" ,to add some features on your device : https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-9/themes/nicelock-module-download-links-module-t3923844
with this way I operate my device until now..
