Hello together,
I have got a question regarding the update of a GN. Everything on this phone is basically manufacture default. Its bought in Poland and used in England. Since JB should be OTA the phone should have a Message on that top scroll down screen when the update is ready - i guess.
Will the Update of that phone be received with Polish updates or with English updates and do i need to change any settings on that phone? Like download only by wifi and something like this?

I would guess that the update will be the language on the phone so if your language is set to polish you'll get polish updates, also you shouldn't need to change any settings to get the update, but if you're trying to force it you can clear data and force stop the 'Google Services Framework' app and then check for updates again, that made me get it instantly.

Go to settings->Apps->Swipe across to 'All'->Find 'Google Services Framework'->The Press 'Clear Data' and 'OK'' on the Dialog box->Then 'Force stop' and 'OK' on the dialog box->Go back to settings->'About Phone'->'System Updates'-> 'Check now'
The update should appear and download a few seconds after that, as I said it worked first time for me but for others it takes more than one try sometimes.

If you are running a build of Android other than yakju or taku, the Jelly Bean update is not out yet. You either have to wait, or flash yakju or takju as per this thread.
Well.. is the build version listet in that about phone window?
are those builds the stock once? can i check a page where it gives that information for which build it might already be out? thought the wonderfull thing is updates out as soon as android is released

Look at the Settings->About phone menu and read the Build number. If there are more than 6 digits in that field, you are NOT on yakju or takju, and there is no JB update for you yet. You are on some Samsung build.

there are several version of the firmware, some with location specific modifications.
if you want the version that comes straight from google without waiting on samsung, follow efrant's link.
thanks for the heads up .. but i cant be bothered to start flashing custom roms over custom roms just because google andoid is not able to provide an update for every stock version of the operation system ... and gave my girl that advice because they get the updates as soon as they are out..
so no difference to one X or the other galaxy phones .. a shame actually .. make me change onto something else with my phone

you only flash it once. thats it.
once you flash it once, you're done. they are factory images from google and any future updates come in a regular OTA update.
But its not my phone and i dont use android atm and i cant be asked to read me in this stuff since i got work to do and part time studies.
is there a list to see when the others will get there update? - still cant believe that sh1t

About that list, ask your carrier.
So, if you dont use android, cant be bothered by all of this, dont have the time, and its not your phone, and you and the owner have been mislead by advertising in your country, we cant help you. Still cant believe the attitude.
Sent from my i9250
the message for android on stock google nexus phones is updates as soon as google releases android .. what does my carrier have to do with this? he does not need to add stuff there.. its not even bought with the carrier

blame your region and blame samsung. it has been documented so many times that there's 3 firmware images that get updated directly by google. 2 of them are for GSM phones and the other is the verizon version (after carrier approval for vzw anyways)
honestly if you cant be bothered to spend 30min to use the solution given to you, you have no excuse. this is my last reply to you.
besides, its not even your phone.
i know its not my phone. but i will not flash another rom on a stock android rom. no reason for except of the build problem that is supposed to be the good thing about google nexus phones. so wp8 it will be for me
^Really? You come to a gnex forum get all your questions answered, get good advice from helpful members here, now cant be bothered and call the phone sh1t. Go buy a nokia candybar, you will be happier. :good:
i probably will .. at least they roll out updates as they come. cmon .. you have to admit that this update politic is supposed to be good for nexus phones and here it proves to be just as **** as on every other android phone on the market .. or whats the problem that this phone is not able to get the update? its not branded and not bought at any provider.
Is it worth upgrading firmware to the last rootable one?
I have the one that ends in "1" something like 5.1.0.1 I think.
are there any stability improvements in the last ROOT-ABLE firmware?
I saw the guide on AFTVNEWS to upgrade it doesn't seem to hard I should be able to do it.
Thanks!

i did upgraded to pre-rooted firmware 511.1.4.0 and i believe it fixes bugs and probably, the most important thing they add is under developer options you can now select apps from unknown source, with this enable you can simply download any apk from web site using a web browser(chrome, firefox, ect), you no longer have to side load the app.
here is the link which outline some of major fixes and changes with each updates, for more detail info you probably will have to dig on amazon site.

I am already rooted so I would just have to upgrade it using the guide they made.
So I guess I will do it when I have more time. Thanks for the tip.
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.

Hello,
I would like to ask some help with this ROM I still use since I have the phone for over 2 years.
Using 2.0.133 ST (I think Indian based on language options from settings, however the package was definitely Chinese - it was modified by seller) and would like to know how to update to 2.5 (android 7).
I have looked for guides but haven't been succesful so far since it's my first time doing this.
Could someone share a link with step-by-step guides how to use the programs to update firmware with links or guides to help?
Also any suggestion on which ROM to use for gaming and fast performance really ( but still able to use google and banking services ->need andro 7 though for some new software)
Thanks in advance!

Just confirming if upgrading wiped your data or if its just the downgrade package? I don't want to deal with re-setting everything up/restoring backups if it will wipe the data.
