I'm another owner of the K1. I've had it for a while now since xmas and I do like it, but I cant get over the locked bootloader. I was hoping to be able to overclock it so apps for school would run nice and smooth but it doesnt seem to be happening.
Do you guys think I should hold onto it and wait for a root with recovery and hopefully some mods? Or just sell it and try to get a tegra 3?
I'm torn between this man because I have a beefy laptop so I dont need a quad core tablet, I just want it to be smooth. Kernels, overclocking and custom roms always did it for me in prior phones, now its like we're forced to upgrade every year
shoot me some advice

It has already been rooted. Once rooted you can OC all you want.
Thanks for the reply. Just wanted to make sure because the K1 doesnt even have its own category in xda.
So, this wont need a kernel to oc?

I do not OC, but have read links saying there are OC tools and all you need is root. So, you'll have to Google it knowing that you can get root and see if that's correct.

timmyDean,
Thanks. Im just hoping to not run into any problems with overclocking it. Ive rooted a lot of phones and overclocked them all.. even overclocked my pc. Since I started I cant stop lol. Its compulsive, i know, but there is a difference in responsiveness so it's not all my my head lol
I'm on A301_13_13_111209_US
Kernel 2.6.36.3
Do you know which method I should run?
Sort of confused in your development thread about using different blobs and updating with OTA.
Yup, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=21309379&postcount=50
This will flash you directly to 13_13US rooted!
You're the man! I'll be attempting this tonight. Hopefully all goes well.
One question tho, if someone manages to port over cwm, will there be custom roms and so on for this tablet? I saw someone working on porting cwm, but doesnt look too promising.

CWM is already ported. I haven't tried it, but according to the developer it works. I have no reason to use it because there's nothing I want to load. I suspect it's just being used to make backups because I haven't seen any chatter on custom ROMS. As far as custom ROM development, who knows. In my opinion these Lenovo are 'junk'. Again, my opinion. Lenovo doesn't want you to modify their devices, so they make it hard to root. They want you to go to them for a custom ROM. We've tried that and it's a joke. We develop drivers and special drivers for hardware and develop several applications for vertical markets. Chances are, if you have a HC tablet you've got a driver buried in there that we wrote (our NDA keeps me from saying who, but I would say every make listed in these forums --if I were to guess). Our vertical applications cannot be sold as a solution to a fortune 500 company with us demanding they buy a custom Lenovo hardware. That has only worked with Government sales because the Lenovo suits convinced them that they are super secure.
Anyway, good luck

Also, might I add they seem to want to restrict you and feed you a bunch of their 'bloatware'. A few months back, when they were in talking with our management team they said they were offering a complete solution hardware and software. They want to make money on their Marketplace applications, etc etc. I sort of got the impression they thought that was where the real money was and not in just selling tablets.

Now that makes sense. Theyll never release an unlocked boot
This sucks man..
Going to root after ghost adventures
One question before I go all the way with it, whats the procedure for updating with new releases? Best to wait for your releases?

New releases, go for it:
This is what I do:
1. Backup my apps because if the OTA knocks out root(#), you have to flash it.
2. I install the backdoor
3. I backup the su
4. I lock the su and backup su so updates HOPEFULLY don't break root(#)
5. Then I take the OTA.
6. After OTA, I reconnect and see if root(#) is still working. If not, I try the backup root(#). If they are both gone, then I hope the backdoor still works. If not then I flash back to where I was. I then ***** at Lenovo and look for a way to hack it.
Anyway, the backdoor and locking of su are in a script file you can run as long as you have adb working. 99% of the time su stays (because you lock it) or the backdoor works. Also, before taking the OTA you can usually download and see what they are changing. If it breaks root and the back door then what I usually do is pull it apart and build a custom system.img. Inside the OTA zip will be the boot.img. You can actually take it and 'cook' it in your kitchen adding root. Then you take the system.img from a prior release, mount it, and replace all the files with the ones inside your OTA. Make sure you account for blob changes if they are in the OTA. If there's a blob, then put it in the blob tool folder, extract it, and add it to the flash and replace bootloader.bin. Swear some more at Lenovo, and flash in your custom ROM. Now ad su and busybox, and superuser.apk. Use the dump tools in dump folder to build a new system.img. Replace your cooked boot.img with the original OTA boot.img and you're done.
TD.
Then ***** at Lenovo some more lol.
Thanks for the tips, Ill try the script if there is a reasonable update for it ie ICS.
For now the root worked.. flawlessly. Thanks for your work man.
Hey everybody I was just wondering if it was worth to do it...
Will the overall performance of my tablet be affected to better?
I have some small experience with rooting and installing new roms on my phone, (epic 4g touch) but i know nothing of rooting and installing new roms to tablets.
Thanks

No answer? Helloooo somebody out there lol?
Sent from my Epic 4G Touch on Codename JoyRide using xda Premium.
Hi, and welcome!
First sorry that you waited so long for a response. It's been a slow Sunday at XDA as far as I can tell.
And it's kinda difficult to give you an answer that everyone would agree with. But I'll give you my take on it. You could change out the words "Why do I" for "Is it worth it" in the following if you like.
Why do I root my tablet? Mainly for bootanimations, system tweaks, like the gps fix we used to have to use to get the gps even marginally functional (That's not an issue anymore, so no worries). I also like to mess with very noobish mod attempts. Noobish, but it makes me smile when I do something neat. Things like that. There are plenty more reasons but I think that should reflect the gist of it.
Why do I unlock my devices (read; install custom bootloader in this case.) and install custom roms? Mainly because of neat features that are above and beyond what the manufacturer includes. For instance the Acer Ring (Some like it, some don't.). as well as tweaks already performed by the chef, like that gps fix I mentioned. Then there is overclocking and the custom kernels.
I'm sure that you probably already know all of this, and while our tablet is really great stock and will do just fine. I think that it is improved using a custom rom. Plus, since it is a tablet rather than a phone, it isn't as critical if something goes wrong when you are goofing around installing the rom or unlocking. No one wants a brick. But it's gotta be a little less of a major problem on a tablet than a phone.
The only real downside of installing the custom bootloader that I know of would be that some users (including myself.) report a flicker and the homescreen going blank on rare occasion and the icons dissapear, but restarting the launcher fixes it. Just put a shortcut in the lockscreen to a home switcher. Thanks to loth77 for that tip. But it isn't something that everyone gets and it's not that big of a drag. I can't really think of any other negatives.
Here's probably the most important thing that you should remember. Get your CPUID in case something goes wrong. The tab is bulletproof if you have that. Here's a link to help understand the whys and hows.http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1624645. Remember to get the drivers from acer, and if something doesn't work try changing usb ports, usb cable, or even the pc.
That should pretty much be the long and short of it. Hope it helps. And good luck.
Hey thanks a lot, I think I might root it, Im familiar with flashing roms but the Bootloaders are new to me, can you tell me why do I need to unlock it to install a rom?
Sent from my Epic 4G Touch on Codename JoyRide using xda Premium.
If I understand the process correctly it is something about the way that the bootloader does its security checks. If you have a stock bootloader it looks for the stock rom only. If it doesn't find a rom/kernel that it expects you get to see the android on it's back. The custom bootloader doesn't mind a custom rom. If you want a technical answer maybe someone smarter than myself could explain it better. But I think that is pretty close.

And you said it, more or less
With ICS, the bootloader and boot.img communicate. A lot. Neither wish to run properly as they should. In the beginning, we hacked the ICS kernel to run on an HC bootloader. It worked and gave system somewhat RW, but is was crappy to say the least, and caused display irregularities on boot, and sometimes during operation. But when Skrilax_CZ started working on the ICS Bootloader, we could run an ICS kernel, and still get somewhat root and /system RW. But the RW was crappy, and required re-mounting /system all the time.
Having root, without /system RW, is like having a hamburger without the burger. Yeah, it kinda looks like it, but still....
Thus the "tweaked" ICS boot.img came out. Basically the same kernel, but the Zimage has some mods to it. Namely changing the part that prevented RW. And thus, the fully unlocked, fully RW system came out. And technically, you don't need busybox. Just SU. But busy box has to be there for other deals.
So now, to get the full unhindered benefit of both worlds, it's required to change bootloaders. We can do this via NVFlash, because we have the Secured Bootloader Key algorithm (SBK).
Also, HC based Roms WILL NOT run on the ICS bootloader, locked or unlocked. So if ya wanna play ball in our park, ya hafta play by our rules.
You can get your root under a stock ICS bootloader, but, you will have issues with system RW. This I promise.
Also with the unlocked bootloader, you get "fastboot" functions. Consider it your last line of defense. But for those that know how to use it, it's better than flashing certain things.
MD
For what this is worth, as a total noob to all this I decided to try the custom bootloader. Knowing from bricking a Wii once, I made a nand and a rom backup, got my CPUID using blackthund3r's ACER manager for those using ICS (just an incredible thing), and got to work.
I made an error and got hung in APX mode and initially I had at least three heart attacks when I thought I'd bricked; however I figured there had to be a way out as tablet still came on and I had done all the above. Reran Acer manager, changed my previous decision, and soon (within 5 mins) boatloader patched. I've since tried so many roms I've lost count.
Regrets? Not one. It's faster and better. Reading this thread, however, and learning that with a CPUID the tablet is bulletproof makes me feel even better! If you're a noob like me, it's a little scary, but backup, get a nand and the CPUID, Acer Mgr, follow the directions and go for it. After all I went through, if I can do it, so can you!
Yeah I flashed a rom already seens to be working great, i dont have much time right now to mess around with it but its definally better fellows, thanks

Hey all I have the Note 3 Verizon and as far as I know the bootloader hasn't been unlocked. Is it even worth it to root at this point? I'm just wondering if I should wait until it is unlocked, if it ever gets unlocked.
I have rooted every device I have ever owned, but they have all had unlocked BL's. Just looking for some thoughts.

I've rooted every device I've ever had and unlocked the BL except the Note 3 and my Samsung Note 10.1.

The key benefits of the unlocked bootloader would be custom kernels, over/under volting and clocking the CPU, and custom ROMs that take advantage of said custom kernels like AOKP/CM/PA
Rooting and unlocked bootloader are not correlated when making the decision on whether or not to root IMO.
So when thinking if you should root, have you ever owned/experienced a rooted device to feel the benefits between battery saving, features, and performance? It's really a no brainer that the answer if you should root is yes, unless you're concerned with warranty and/or don't want to encounter minor bugs/issues if you decide to go custom ROM

Nah I don't so much care about warranty. If I brick, I'll just buy a new one. I know not everyone is in that position. To update my situation I have rooted using Kingo and I'm running BeansRom. It's nice I had it on my Note 2. I guess it's just been so long since I've rooted I have really forgotten about the difference between rooting and BL being unlocked. Thanks for the info!
I would root even if I didnt install a custom rom, I use apps like tasker which I need root access for. But personally I like using safestrap better than unloking bootloader and flashing over stock, yea I lose a little bit of memory space but at least if i get a bad rom or it crashes in the middle of the day I have the stock side to fall back on.
Hi,
myself, being one happy Note 4 user, felt betrayed when Samsung locked the bootloader since COJ5 for Exynos variants, dunno about Qualcomm but I presume it's the same. Past this point we can't go back to whichever official (or custom for that matter) ROM, rendering our choices nonexistant. As far as I am concerned, we possess the phone thus we can do whatever we want, heck, I've paid a great sum of € for it! But samsung now says no-no. What gives? It isn't against the EULA afaik, and we have a crippled device now
Thoughts?
is the COK1 bootloader also locked ?

How is it crippled besides the ability to go back ?
You can root, flash kernels, flash deodex stock ROMs. and custom ROMs ? What else is there? I don't understand.
I've tried both the COL2 and COL1 recent releases on Sammobile and while I can't revert back to an earlier firmware it has affected nothing in customizing my phone.
Yeah it sucks not being able to go back. It could suck a lot more.

Flash TWRP via ODIN. Root and custom kernel via TWRP, then make a backup.
I haven't messed with Viper in a while. Been trying the other audio mods.
I'll see what I can find. I've got a COL2 deodex ROM built. Messing with other tweaks.
I've messed with a v4a mod and finally got it working on stock COJ5 with root. Now everything's working fine and savvy. Thanks for the assistance though!
So my Unlock.bin will be arriving tomorrow and I got an update from Tmobile yesterday. I heard people could not use the update because they unlocked the bootloader and were rooted. I am unsure whether I want to do this as my previous devices(s9 plus and s7 edge) could not get an unlocked bootloader, so I having second thoughts. What would be the benefits of doing so, what could I do with the phone after, and is this all worth it? Thank you in advance!

The thing is that I won't be able to receive updates via ota on the unlocked firmware and Everytime I update manually through a zip, I have a risk of bricking my phone. What extra features does 9.0.7 have that 9.0.1 TMobile version doesn't have?
My opinion would rather to get updates sent by one plus and flash myself anyway.
I rooted for viper pretty much.. But I'm on 9.0.7 with Smurf kernel now and very happy.
Do it and don't look back. Just make sure to follow instructions correctly and you'll be fine.

The kernel is the walkie talkie between hardware and software. Some are smoother than others. Custom vs stock has all sorts of extra stuff phone companies dont include. Im sorry but I'm not going to be able to walk u thru it. There is plenty of existing information that is in total baby steps to get u going. Im fine with helping, but i wont reiterate info that is right here already. Read the beginning of threads, middle, and ends. Fill in the in between where needed. And no root is an option. With u being so new, u wouldn't recommend it till u can unbrick your phone if need be. Bricking is part of the learning process, so make sure u got everything, file wise u may need..just in case. Read and re-read everything. Twice. Lol. and if u have any probs where u do need to take it to t mobile, familiarize yourself with the msm tool, t mobile edition, beforehand.. after u run it it relocks your bootloader and makes it exactly how u got it From t mobile

I have already unlocked the bootloader, am rooted and have Magisk with Element X kernel. Btw how can someone have a preference if they never tried any kernels? And they all say the same thing when listing features.
