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.

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 checked several of the threads in the various subforums but since I am currently really busy (have the phone for 3 weeks and I am not using it cause had no time to check XDA ) if you are kind enough I have some questions that spending more time in the threads would probably answer themselves but alas...
A: If I root the G3 can I bring it back to stock without any indication it got rooted (I heard some phones have special logs that show if a phone has been rooted that survive the various flashes), in case I need to send it for service?
B: Should I go with the root method shown on XDA TV (which doesn't show how to install a custom recovery) or one of the one click auto batch scripts?
C: I think generally this question is not allowed cause it can lead to flame but which ROM would you recommend I try first? I need just a clean, smooth running ROM. Disclaimer: Avoid arguing with other users if you disagree with something they said, just state the ROM and if you want your reason for picking it and I will scroll through them and decide.
Much obliged if you care to answer them and apologies to mods if this breaks any rules.

A: You can always go back to stock using LG flash tool with no evidence of rooting nor like samsung's knox
B: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3072767
C: I personally use resurrection remix rom based on CM12 due to performance but if you want fully working G3 with no bugs at all I recommend my favorite rom CupaChups 4.2. Super fast stock base rom with some extra features.
P.S. I recommend you to instal Kernel Adiutor from the play store after you root your G3 and change the governor from default Interactive to Conservative. Cos from some unknown reasons the Interactive governor is bugged on all G3 and changing that will highly increase your performance speed and feel. This works with base and aosp roms also.
Hope this helps
via LG G3 @ Resurrection Remix
Thank you, is there a problem if the phone is already on stock 5.0? Can I still root it with the same methods or must I restore it to 4.4.x? (A simple restore to factory blabla does it?)

If you have a look around there's a one click method that works for all G3 variants regardless of software version that is here on the forums. You can use that, download the zip for your desired custom rom, install a custom recovery and then flash the ROM and you should be good to go. There's plenty of guides for you to use, and each custom rom thread should have it's own installation guide

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.

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.

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...

Ill wait til we get fixed up with the prerooted rom and multisystem. Hell... I've waited this long already.

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...

Welcome to Android!
I'm sure you'll have a lot of fun
Typically you'll find a tab saying root info for each phone model in the forum. However, these tabs (same for ROMs) are typically not as updated as the forum threads. You'll find most info/guides for that kind of stuff in general, seeing how in most cases in concerns the phone in general, more-so than a specific development for the phone (such as a specific phone).
Make sure you carefully read the original post for each software seeing how different softwares can only be used in certain situations. For example, the LG G3 comes in different models, and some software only work for the specific ones, some things are developed for certain android versions (such as lollipop vs. kitkat), some softwares are developed for stock-based roms, and some are developed for aosp-based roms, and the list goes on.
It's not as complicated as it sounds, and it doesn't take as long as you might imagine to get settled, but it takes some getting used to.
To answer your specific questions:

1. After you've rooted your phone, you need to install a custom recovery (http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/help/help-thread-lg-g3-question-t2947298, check Q4).
2. When done with that you download a [ROM (whatever the rom is called)].zip (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2772658), and typically Gapps, and place on SD card.
3. Boot into recovery, and wipe the phone (I usually go for factory reset/make fresh install + wipe cache + wipe Dalvik-cache)
4. Now you need to flash the ROM + gapps. Do that by install zip --> install from SD card --> click the [ROM].zip (and then gapps)
5. Reboot and enjoy!

I'll admit that I have not read the specifics of each thread I've linked, so make sure that it applies to you before you go about and install stuff (by reading first post in each thread). Also, how you install might differ a little from rom to rom, so only use my instructions as additional instructions to the instructions typically written in the first post for each rom/software.
Note! Everytime you go about fiddling with the phone you do run the risk of bricking it. However, the risk of hard bricking your phone is quite slim as long as you read up a bit before messing about. On top of that, if anything would happen, such as a bootloop or soft bricking, just keep it cool. It happens to all of us from time to time, and I'll bet you that the very same thing you did wrong, has happened to someone before you, so just search the threads (starting with the thread it relates to). If you feel like playing safe, I would suggest you start off with one of the more established ROM-devs, such as CM.
I hope this helps!

No worries! I know it can be difficult getting started
Well, it's different firmwares sometimes (eg different stocks). This is typically clearly pointed out in the instructions if that is the case. I have not encountered that where it comes to the custom ROMs, except for making sure you have the right model (eg D855). After you've installed a new ROM, you might want to go to settings --> about phone to check the information for any clues of using the wrong software.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4-verizon/general/guide-noobs-guide-to-perm-root-twrp-t3360883

http://forum.xda-developers.com/not...t/howto-bootloader-unlock-upgrade-to-t3398144
I would normally have no problem diving in head first into any of these threads. The issue is that even as I begin to read them, in each of these threads there's a handful of individuals claiming something like: 'Oh, you left this step out' or 'You forgot to include' this, or 'This only applies to this, but not that' and so forth.
I'm not really knew to the world of modding, rooting, theming, unlocking and so forth...but it does scare me a bit when there's so much information that seems to contradict other information or at the very least appears to be incomplete.
If possible, can someone with a solid understanding of the Verizon Note 4 and all things Permanent Root/BootLoader Unlock/Custom Recovery/Custom ROM installation please shed some light and provide some guidance for me on this thread?
I'm sure it would benefit many.
Just trying to get this Note 4 permanently rooted, with a kick-ass recovery...a snappy kernal and an awesome custom rom for my daily driver...all without bricking the poor guy.
Not sure how much it matters, however Just FYI here is some specifics on my particular Verizon Note 4:
Model Number: SM-N910V
Android Version: 5.0.1
Hardware Version: N910V.06
Please advise if possible.
Thank you,
BJ
You got here late............................
You need a History lesson. but I don't have time to give it to you. This thing has evolved. All the threads you mentioned have contributed to the testing and understanding.
Some of the OP in some of the threads have changed and no longer list the ROM's that first came out for Newly rooted Verizon Note 4. ( I wish they would bring back the custom 5.1.1 ROM's but they have moved on to Marshmallow )
I can tell you this. The first time you permanently root your phone, it should be on stock 5.1.1.
I created a thread mostly for my own use here http://forum.xda-developers.com/not...bilized-process-to-unlock-bootloader-t3375527
My thread can get you to a rooted stock Note 4 on stock 5.1.1 but my thread was not created for a newbie. You need a basic understanding of what you are doing.

You said it all right there!
I have tried several Marshmallow ROMs and I always come back to 5.11. In my opinion it is just a better operating system!
All of my apps are able to write to the SD card with no issues and that is important to me.

Is it possible to get permanent root on the Verizon Note 4 coming from Stock 6.0.1 ? If not, is there a downgrade procedure, coupled with a perm root guide?
Thx.
BJ.
Team,
So after some more searching...it looks like this may be what I'm looking for:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4-verizon/general/guide-step-step-stock-n910v-6-0-1-to-t3426905
So, here's the last question (I know, I know)...but BESIDES CM13...are there any other recommended ROMS for Verizon Note 4 on Marshmallow?
Thx.
BJ
