Modified the guide for Lenovo A3500-FL!
EDIT: Also some users have reported that this guide doesn't do the trick or is out-dated, so copypasted the guide from this post here.
Guide
1. Download attachment cwmRecovery.zip and download latest Flash_tool (version 5.1352.0) can be downloaded from here)
1.1. Enable USB-debugging. (How to do this)
2. Manually install the drivers from the attachment a7_40_drivers.zip for the LenovoTablet before plugin it to computer (win7 dirvers work for win8 too).
2.1. To install unsigned/uncertified drivers on Windows 7: http://en.kioskea.net/faq/3914-windows-7-how-to-install-unsigned-drivers
2.2. To install unsigned/uncertified drivers on Windows 8: http://www.howtogeek.com/167723/how...8.1-so-that-you-can-install-unsigned-drivers/
2.3. After you have disabled the driver signature verification, you can install the drivers like this: Right click My computer, Manage, Device Manager, right click your computer at the top, Add Legacy hardware, next, Install plapla manually, next, Show all Devices, Have a Disk.., Browse to the driver folder where you unzip them, choose example windows7 and the 64 version (win7 drivers work for win8.x too), install every device. Then follow the guide.
(Note: Otherwise Windows only installs the normal automatic drivers and its more difficult to install the other drivers.)
2.4. Plug your device to PC.
3. Download the latest supersu zip file (version 2.46) from attachments or from https://download.chainfire.eu/696/SuperSU/
3.1. Move the zip.-file to the Sdcard.
4. Turn off your device.
5. Unpack cwmRecovery.zip
6. Run Flash_tool.exe with Admin Rights.
7. Chose Scatter-Loading and choose MT6582_Android_scatter.txt (in Recovery folder).
7.1. Now you will see checekd only one checkbox - recovery, if not click on it and choose recovery.img
7.2. Press Download.
7.3. Connect your device.
7.4. Wait few seconds.
8. Have CWM on your device .
9. Unplug your device.
10. . Boot to cmw recovery by turning off your device. Then press and hold VOL DOWN + VOL UP and then also press and hold POWER for about 7 seconds.
10.1. Choose " Install zip from sdcard." (To confrim always use the Power Button)
10.2. Choose "zip from sdcard".
10.3. Select SuperSU-v2.46.zip from sdcard and apply.
10.4. Have a rooted tablet.
It might be necessary to always flash the CWM with the Flashtool directly before you startup the device. Otherwise it will start the original AndroidRecovery again.
It might also be necessary to use different drivers from here.
If the supersu zip doesn't install, try toggling the signature verification to disabled from cwm->install zip from sdcard->toggle signature verification.
Tested and working on Levono A7-40 3500-FL with kitkat update, build number A3500FL_A442_01_25_140823_SE, from ota. Attached screenshot for proof. Also other people have reported that this works for later updates too, for example A3500FL_A442_01_27_141127_SE.
You can update to the latest OTA firmware by first going back to stock recovery. See the second post for the guide.

How to go back to stock rom/recovery and update to latest Lenovo OTA firmware update
So, it's pretty simple, you take the stock_recovery.zip from the first post, extract it, and replace recovery.img in the recovery folder with the stock one.
Then :
Quote:
4. Turn off your device.
6. Run Flash_tool.exe with Admin Rights
7. Chose Scatter-Loading and choose MT6582_Android_scatter.txt (in Recovery folder)
7.1. Now you will see checekd only one checkbox - recovery, if not click on it and choose recovery.img
7.2.. Press Download
7.3. Connect your device
7.4. Wait few seconds.
And that's it !
On a side note, if it seems stuck on a black screen with a loading circle after factory reset, you have to put the tablet in landscape mode and restart (the shutdown menu appears without any problem) - this issue doesn't seem related to recovery, but a bug within lenovo firmware and the first configuration screen.
Side note 2: The first boot after flashing new update might take 15mins.
Side note 3: After updating to the latest OTA you can go back to cwm recovery with the guide from the first post.

I got the same tablet and I also am looking for a root. :/
Another waiting for rooting lenovo owner.
Same here, i was looking for a root guide and i couldn't find anything.
Does anyone else has a problem with long charging times?
Well it charges long and the charge stays long, so no issue here.
Seems that not that many lenovos root easily, but of course this is a pretty new device(?).

Installed everything and tried vroot once again (I have tried it before).
Still not rooted. And btw that vroot at least tries to install bunch of bloatware crap on the pc.
Edit:
I would suggest for anyone who installed Vroot to your pc to scan the whole pc after you uninstall the vroot.
Here are the scanning tools:
Malwarebytes
adwcleaner
superantispyware
hitmanpro

I got a successful root by flashing Recovery.rar from lenovo-forums.ru, (it's easy to google, I'm not allowed to post links) with the included SPFlash Tool and afterwards flashing the needed SU binaryies and apk. However, this will mess up the OTA updates, and I can't find the stock recovery again.
Therefore, I really beg anyone having the stock recovery to post it, enabling us to switch between them, whenever we want to apply any OTAs.
Thanks a lot!

Well I very highly doubt that there will be any more updates for a device with this price range. And since the next android version is the L version, which requires more work than before.
Edit2: http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/development/guide-lenovo-a3500-h-t2879208 found this. Tested and it works. Will edit it to the first post.
The same as me
i cant flash update.zip from cwm recovery and need to restore the stock recovery ...
I think flashing the stock rom can solve the problem..
.by using the sp flash tool we can select to flash recovery only ....unticking the others except recovery.img ....you just try to download the stock rom and flash the recovery
Same problem
Heya guys!
I have the same problem here.. I can't run the .zip file from the SD card, it get interrupted every time. Any ideas?

I dont know what you two are trying to do but this thread is about rooting the lenovo A3500-FL not about lenovo stock rom.
Rooting..
Yes indeed, that's what I'm trying to do. Rooting the A3500-FL. According to the instructions you need to install the SuperSU from a zip on your SD card. When I try do that it gets interrupted every time. Installing recovery went well. So I'm not getting what I do wrong? Any ideas?

Yup.. This is the problem. The recovery runs fine from Flash Tool and claims it installs it. (Download ok) But I still don't seem to have CWM on the device. It's just normal recovery mode. So any ideas about the CWM-installation? What could possibly go wrong? I get no error messages. Cheers.

EDIT// Oh, It's working now, tried to flash it one more time, then I held a power button until Lenovo logo appeared and then I pressed Vol UP and Vol DOWN and the CWM came in, thank you! Now my tablet is finally rooted
Hey everyone,
today I got myself an LG G Pad 8.3 because I liked the hardware. Unfortunately, LG's software ist almost as bloated and ugly Samsung's [citation needed]. After a lot of searching through this forum and elsewhere i finally managed to get this tablet from KOT49I.V50020D (KK 4.4.2) to CM11. As all the other guides are for older versions/builds of the OS and never cover the whole process I'm trying to do a little tutorial here. It was a little harder than rooting my Nexus5, so I don't really recommend this for newbies.
Credits to the respective creators of the software, hacks and methods used in this Tutorial. I didn't do any coding or magic.
As always: No guarantee this will work for you!
I am not responsible for what you do with your tablet, phone or life.
The first thing I did was to root the G pad using IOroot (Credits to autoprime).
1.1. Enable Dev.-Options by clicking the build-number 7 times.
1.2. (while your G Pad is not connected to a PC) enable USB Debugging
1.3. Connect to your PC, You will need the LG Drivers
1.4 Unpack the Zip-File from the thread and open a commandline in the folder
1.5 Check communications using "adb devices"
1.6 "adb reboot recovery" to boot into recovery mode (obviously)
1.7 move to "apply update from adb" using the volume-rocker, select with the power button
1.8 (On your PC again) "adb sideload kk_root.zip"
1.9 The installer will do its thing, you should see "DAT ROOT" when finished
1.10 reboot your system (see 7.)
In the next step, you will install a custom recovery.
Or lets say, you will let a script install a custom recovery for you. (Credits to Drgravy, id10terror and samuraix21)
2.1. download the zip-file from id10terror's thread (his Step3). The download may be slow
2.2. unpack and right-click the *.bat-file -> Edit using an editor of your choice
2.3 change the letter at the end of the build-number according to samuraix21 (second post in his thread), then save
2.4 run the batch-file, the tablet will reboot after this step
2.5 put the newest version of TWRP on you G Pad's internal storage
2.6 repeat 1.5 and 1.6 to get into your new recovery
2.7 immediatly after the screen goes black, pull out the cable (for unknown reasons)
2.8 install -> select the recovery you just moved to the internal storage, swipe to confirm
2.9 wait until finished, go "home", reboot system
That was the hard part. Flashing CM or any customRom is fairly easy
3.1 Download the latest CM-Snapshot from here
3.2 Place that zip-file in the internal storage as you did with the TWRP-file. You can erase that one.
3.3 repeat 2.6 and 2.7
3.4 Wipe -> Swipe to confirm
3.5 Install the CustomROM as you did in 2.8. This might take a little longer.
3.6 see 2.9
3.7 The display might be very dark while booting. You can change later
If everything went right, your tablet now runs a rooted customROM =)
Sorry for this wall of text
I rooted with Towelroot, simply install the app, click to root, install SuperSU from Play store, that's it. Nice n easy. Thanks for the guide.

Just got my refurbished V500 (OTA updated twice to latest stock 4.4.2)... Done rooting & installing TWRP 2.8.0.0 using the same steps as OP stated ... Easy enough.
I had my win7 systems previously prepared for my G2, so not a single issue with drivers.
Decided to stay with Stock LG (same as my G2) ... customed ROMs can stay on my N7s.
(note: remember to allow root-access to ADB, on the tablet. Also allow SuperSU to update its binary thru TWRP).
Thanks.
After step 2.7 my g pad enters stock recovery with the following errors at the bottom:
E:missing bitmap stage_empty
(Code -1)
E:missing bitmap stage_fill
(Code -1)
I got root access, edited the .bat file to V50020d and supposedly flashed ABOOT and Recovery correctly.
Any help would be appreciated!

Yeah, that's the problem.. After step 2.7 I'm supposed to have TWRP, but I dont. It will just enter Stock recovery with those errors on the bottom.
I also tried Flashify to flash TWRP 2.7.1.0, but as soon as I try to enter recovery it just stays at the LG boot screen with the following error: Secure booting Error, Cause: boot certification verify.
I guess I'm out of luck here.

Found a fix (technically). Thanks to @nlmensch for the idea. :highfive:
Basically, I just downgraded to v50010b and installed TWRP from there.
Link for @quangnhut123 thread to make the downgrade:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2797190
Link for the .kdz files (I used United Kingdom V10B):
http://lg-phone-firmware.com/index.php?id_mod=39
After the downgrade, make sure to get root access for 4.2.2 and TWRP for your downgraded firmware.
Hope this helps. :good:
This all looks great, and I'm really thankful for the effort you've put in, but I'm stuck -- I don't know if I'm just being stupid! You said to download latest version of TWRP and put on SD card... but how? v500 isn't officially supported by TWRP, so where are people getting a copy? I looked but couldn't find it. Any help massively appreciated!!
Thanks
[EDIT: I was indeed being stupid. Worked out the relevant TWRP links were in Drgravy's threads. Many thanks )
I had the same problem with installing twrp as the others. To fix it I did a factory reset back to clean stock 4.4.2. After that the guide worked as intended and I was able to install twrp. (There must have been som app or update that interfered with twrp before. I don't know?)
To fix the dim screen when booting cm11 I installed mani.Kernel v19 in twrp after setting up cm.
Using cm I really like all the settings available, the standard navigation buttons and that the bug in stock rom that made youtube videos stutter is gone. Smooth playback. And batterylife seems better. Screen takes 75%.
Big thanks for the guide. I'm glad I followed it. And there's nothing wrong with it because I ran into the same problem with other guides.
Edit: I would recommend installing the Quick Boot app instead of rebooting to recovery using adb and yanking the USB-cable.
The TWRP part didn't work for me either. I ended up flashing a recovery image (TWRP) through flashify and it messed up my recovery and can no longer access it, luckily tablet is still working.
I really hope there are easier ways with errors etc to put a cwm recovery as it driving me nuts.
I didn't think i'd have so much trouble on an android as i have with these lg pads.
Should had stuck to samsung, but the hardware and price was just to be avoided and thus went for these slick gpad's
Mine is on 4.4.2 and rooted, just getting recovery to work is stopping me from having nice new roms

I have a new tutorial to install custom recovery for first time here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g-pad-83/orig-development/recovery-t2945917
I installed ADB on my pc, Do i install it on my LG GPAD also?, as it is not mentioned.
How do i use it in accordance to your instructions? as i have never once used this before.
I use root explorer, can this be used in anyway?
Thank you
Best wishes
ADB is only installed on your computer. ADB allows you to open a remote shell on your pc to your tablet using the usb cable to connect them to either. You can use Terminal Emulator in place of ADB. You can also move files and change file permissions with Root Explorer also. You will need a shell to execute some commands and that can be done with ADB shell or a Terminal Emulator shell. Both are ok.
Thank you for this amazing guide!!
Can you help me on step 2?
Installing custom recovery I can't see the option to "Install" I only see Updte from external/adb/cache.
What I did miss?
Thank you!

This means that you may still on stock recovery. Same happened to me, if you want you can follow the steps I provided previously to solve this.
Anyone can please point me to id10terror's twrp thread?
It seems that there are more than one.
I did what exactly is in the first post (although I rooted with towelroot, since ioroot got permission issues), but when I go this step and I expect to see the new "interface" with the install option:
2.8 install -> select the recovery you just moved to the internal storage, swipe to confirm
I just still see the stock recovery.
As a matter of interest, I see the in botton two things:
E:missing bitmap stage_empty
Code -1
E:missing bitmap stage_fill
Code -1
I've 4.4.2 v50020d (just bought it) - any ideas?
If you have ever downgraded your device in order to change aboot and get a working custom recovery, then you can flash this zip in CWM or TWRP to bring your firmware back to 20D.

After installing CM13 (coming from 20H stock 4.4.2 firmware) I somehow ended up in the hard-brick Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 mode.
I fixed this using these steps: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2582142 writing that old 2.6.3.2 TWRP and other .bin files extracted from the .kdz
Phone boots OK into CM13 now, but when I try to get into recovery (either using Power+Vol Down or through Advanced Reboot in CM) I get the error:
Secure booting error
Error: Boot Certification Verify!

Does anyone know how I can fix this, and flash TWRP? Tried TWRP Manager, Flashify etc, but they all give a flashing error. All fixes for this which I have found online seem to be for people who are running a stock ROM.
(I know going into download mode and returning to stock again etc will sort this, but surely that's not necessary?)
As I said the phone works fine, boots into CM ok, I just have no recovery mode.

You don't have to post this twice, one threads enough.
You need to go to stock again, those partitions that you flashed are old especially that twrp image (not supported by LP).
A clean slate your phone needs.

It's alright, you can't delete it. Just write something like "delete" in the title.
Hello guys.
I have successfully ported TWRP 3.0.0-0 for our Smart Prime 6.
It's 100% working !!
There are NO BUGS !! :good:

NEW LINK: DOWNLOAD
________________________________________
How to install
Via app:
1) Download TWRP 3.0.0-0 from the link above and place it on internal storage of your phone.
2) Download Flashify app from Google Play Store.
3) Open Flashify app.
4) Grant root permissions.
5) Click "Recovery image" and then click "Choose a file"
6) Navigate to the folder where you placed TWRP 3.0.0-0 and choose the .IMG file.
7) Press "Yup!" button and wait.
8) After a while the phone will require reboot. So click "reboot" button.
9) Phone will reboot and automatically boot into TWRP, so you can press reboot to system.
10) Enjoy!
Special thanks to Oneb1t for modded .fstab file! :highfive:
edit: you can use Flashfire app too instead of Flashify, but it's not recommended, because the latest version of the Flashfire app is not flashing properly.
Brilliant! Thank you so much! Do you know any custom ROM what is better than the factory ROM?
There is no custom ROM for this phone yet.
But I'm trying to make LITE ROM.

Do you think it's easier/possible to adapt a ROM from a similar device like say, the Alcatel
Pop 2 (5) Premium ? I don't know if there's any ROM for that phone tho, but since it's branded as Alcatel you might get more support from the community here than by using Vodafone's name.
Hello, Demonlord6.
I have tried to make a stock flashable ROM via dumping the system folder and the boot.img file, but without success.
It does not boot properly.. when I tried to flash it without dalvik/system wipe everything was as before.
When I tried to wipe /system and dalvik first and then flash the ROM, it causes bootloop.
So now I'm trying to fix this issue..
I don't know where the problem is.
So when this issue will be solved I will try to build a ROM from Alcatel phones with same specs.

Hey, Andreno306
I don't know much about Rom's in that level of expertise I'm afraid :/ but I did some digging and came across this simple tutorial on XDA:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2387941
I imagine it does not work for every single device out there, at least not with modifying stuff after, but it might be a good starting point I think, in fact I would try to actually make one myself had I a working PC currently at home. But even if I did I had no way of testing it because this is currently my daily driver phone.
Just wanted to say that I'm also very interested in getting a slim ROM for this device. I can't offer any expertise I'm afraid! Just wanted to show that there are people interested in your project.
:highfive:

I have one
https://mega.nz/#!tMJD3B4T!f6m2ELYCVupqGCcN2aGbkrNzEqijLu7au-7usEfeVL0
But I recommend to restore it with the flashify app, because that's how the backup was made.
If, for some reason, you don't/can't restore it, then you can always try Sugar on the PC which basically restores everything to factory settings (recovery, kernel, etc, it all gets reset)

Sorry there about the bootloop but glad u could restore it from TWRP, maybe it was because we have different ROM versions ?

Yeap, that's not the same version as my ROM, mine is not 130FNN etc. Maybe that's why it didn't work

Sorry for the stupid question but... does it works on Smart Prime 7 too?
Has anyone installed that linked ROM? It seems to be what we are looking for... a slim debloated rom.
I presume we need to be rooted, install this TWRP, then flash that ROM?
It mentions unlocking the bootloader, I dont think I've seen any info anywhere about unlocking the bootloader.
Can anyone give a quick lowdown on all the steps required to install that ROM please?
Hi everyone, I discovered that Elephone Trunk and Smart Prime 6 have (almost) identical specs: https://www.devicespecifications.com...ison/c584481c6
So it would be great to "port" (or build ?) the official Nougat-OmniROM for Trunk to VF-895N: http://dl.omnirom.org/trunk/
Last but not least, here's official Vodafone Smart Prime 6 sources: Vodafone_Smart_prime_6_20150413.tar.xz
TWRP for vodafone smart max 4 990N (coolpad 8890u).
I tried this recovery image for vodafone smart max 4 990N (coolpad 8890u).
The phone is in a bootloop state. I think i have usb debugging enabled already.
So, in fastboot mode i can see the device in my pc in adb fastboot cmd.
Im trying to ''fastboot boot recovery.img" but it stops in ''booting..''.
Dont know whats the problem but for sure i can not find a specific twrp image for this device.
If i enter fastboot oem device-info it says ''(bootloader) Device unlocked: true''.
Any ideas ?
hi i was wondering if you could share how you did this or if you can make one for the Vodafone smart n9 (VFD720) it would help a lot of people out looking for this
Needed to root a Vodafone Smart Prime 6 (VF 895N) (got it from a friend because it became unresponsive from all the updated google play stuff ) to get linux-deploy running. Just wanted to leave a big thank you here for Adreno306 for his TRWP 3.0.0-0. it did the job very well!
Only the procedure to get it installed differed quite a bit for me, since Flashify is no longer available.
I wanted to preserve boot and just flash trwp to recover, what worked quite well.
The first thing I did was to boot the phone manually in recovery mode (Power+Vol up) and reset it to factory settings from there. It takes a little while. Then follow the setup, go to phone settings, enable developer mode and set usb debugging. If "unlock oem" is not available there, reboot into recovery again, set unlock there and reboot into bootloader.
The prerequisites are adb and fastboot, both must work. Means adb devices and fastboot devices must show the phone. What can make problems under win10 as it sometimes does not detect the phone in bootloader mode. An actual google usb driver is needed, as provided by google.
For me adb worked well, but when rebooted into bootloader with adb reboot bootloader, fastboot didnt detect the phone. With the phone still connected, the windows device manager showed an unknown device with and exclamation mark (!). Right click, install driver, select driver manually, select driver from device list, mark all devices (first entry) and click "disk", then point to the usb driver director and select "ADB fastboot driver". ( A more comprehensive description is available here )
Once adb and fastboot detect the device, it is time to prepare it. Boot to system (normal operation) first. Make sure that the TRWP 3.0.0-0.img is renamed to trwp.img and then
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot devices
fastboot oem unlock
fastboot boot trwp.img
Now the phone should show the trwp menu, set it up to root the phone and install SuperSU. Reboot into bootloader and
fastboot flash recovery trwp.img
fastboot reboot
Verify with adb reboot recovery, you should see trwp now. Reboot to system.
Now finally go into the app selector, start SuperSU, and root the phone. SuperSu uses trwp recovery mode to install its image and root is done.
Again, big thanks for providing the TRWP image!
