Hi @MidoTayel i have also bought a Lenovo a3500-HV less than a week ago i know of two goo tools that can help you root they are:-
Farmaroot- http://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/framaroot/root-framaroot-one-click-apk-to-root-t2130276
ROOT Genius- http://www.shuame.com/en/root/
But i would recommend that you WAIT A FEW DAYS as you know that after rooting the system can get corrupted (Based upon the app you install) thus you would send it to the service center and they would charge a lot of money(root void your warrenty). Apparently i am researching how to create and flash scattle files (Backup images of all system files,recovery.img,boot.img........) in Lenovo a3500-HV(Companies use this method to install android after the tablet is made).
Also i am researching how to create a clockworkmod recovery which will help in flashing updates and flash.zip modification and will also create nandroid backup of your entire system
If you can wait a few more days (5-6) days i will email you a set of tutorials from backuping imei numbers to creating scatter files(Right now i am sorting the best tutorial and good information from the junk in the different forums and blogs). With this information you do not need to go to the service center for any software issue anymore all you would need is an computer and a OTG cable (the cable used to connect phone to computer) and if you install custom recovery you would not need that also (Saved over Rs6000 in my previous tablet software problems)
I am also planning to make a thread upon the LENOVO a3500-HV
Also i have a few QUESTION i want to know if you are facing these problems as i want to know if it is only in my tablet or the entire firmware
-Does the tablet restart between every 4-5-6 hours
-The GPS does not work Test using GPS TEST app ( https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.chartcross.gpstest&hl=en ) Already found some fixes but it needs root
-Can you boot into recovery mode or does it get stuck in the boot logo
-Can you install CPU-Z ( https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cpuid.cpu_z&hl=en ) and check if the hardware is the mt6582 model (Picture given below)
LAST of all can you give me your email id as yau are the only other Lenovo A3500-HV (Model is new) member i could find and i will first email all the tutorials i.e. doc,vedios,pdf to you and help you through email and chat
And if you only want to root and don't care it goes to the service center please atleast tell me if the root is working or not THANL YOU

Thanks for reply and that's my email [email protected]
GREAT !!
I finally found other guys having Lenovo A3500-HV
@MidoTayel
I guess you can use vRoot to root this model of lenovo (A3500).
But as @anandisrocking007 mentioned, I also recommend that you wait. Because the root may be dangerous without CWM recovery to make backup image of your system.
@anandisrocking007
I am happpy with your researching and waiting you…
I have some answers of your questions:
1- My tablet doesn't restart automatically ever from I bought it.
2- You can boot into recovery mode by holding the three buttons together (Vol. up + Vol. down + Power) after shutting down the device.
Other problems I will check them later.
Thanks.

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU i had thought that i had bought a tablet with a corrupted recovery as the previous model a3000 had a different set of command to go to recovery take a look at it yourself
http://forum.xda-developers.com/lenovo-a3000/general/lenovo-a3000-startup-modes-t2656140
So are you rooted by vroot
ok and one more thing power+vol up =Factory mode(Dangerous if you do not know what you are doing)
and if you can not understand the chinese this is the translation

and again thank you also tonight/tomorrow morning i will send a set of ussd(you just have to press call after typing the code) code to check if the bootloader of the phone is locked like asus(Then i can not flash and root as it will brick th phone[though the chances of this happening in lenovo is 2% as all the previous model's bootloader is unlocked but better safe than sorry])

Hi @ibraheem_alex so the USSD anomaly is not only for my phone its ok not to worry i am 95% sure that lenovo does not have locked bootloader also did you check the GPS is it working also use CPU-Z to check the chipset model mine is MT6582 when everything is over i would be uploading the scatterfile backup for everyone to use i just want to know if more than one type of model is released as different countries have different chipset but the same model (Pss..It won't have an impact on the tutorials that i shall post as you shall make a backup of your own phone :highfive
Tutorial Update- i have managed to download some vedios from sites and found a lot of tutorials that i have saved in .docx format just 1-2 more sites are left i shall then sort out the best one and if require will merge some to make a better one all and all i shall post it within a few days the tablet is an huge investment i think its fine to be a little patient....... (Pss...i shall be uploading it in google drive and will publish the link...:good

Hi @MidoTayel let me put this in simple words take windows for example where there is a guest account and there is a admin account in guest you can use the software but can not write anything in the C Drive(Also can't install software which are stored in C Drive) in that way Windows's C Drive=System Partition on android so when you get a phone its always in guest mode when you root it it gives you admin access. Some apps require to write or change file for it to work eg ROMtoolbox , Xposed module etc when you are not rooted the apps save all files into the data partition and if any problem occurs you can do a factory reset (i.e deleting the data partition) and it will be the same but if you are rooted and have some problem in the system partition even factory reset won't it goes to the service centre and they charge. Scatter file backup and nandroid backup are ways to backup an entire android OS ie system,data partition along with others its like you are creating an entire android installation setup and when your phone is bricked you can reinstall it. Overall i can tell you that the privilages of root outweigh the risk a lot what every you do try to research a little (I took 2 months to root my last tablet) and always make a scatter file and/or nandroid backup as soon as you root (First backup then check the cool device i.e ASAP) you root to be 100% safe
I am making tutorial to hep you root or create a backup....
Hope this helps i was confused for weeks thinking what is root when i started android..hope you don't face the same problem
PRESS THANKS IF IT HELPS.....:victory:
My chipset model is MT6582 .. It is same as your chipset.
I couldn't determine if my GPS working or not...
I used the GPS Test as you mention but also I can't know if it working correctly or not .. May I will make another test while moving in car.
But I captured this photo from the app .. May it help you.
See the photo in attachments.
Hi, I have a model A3500-FL (without back camera).
GPS works, locks in about a minute out in the open. Tablet lacks AGPS (no data connection). It's MT6582 which can use Mediatek's proprietary EPO to speed up positioning, but due to no root I cannot verfy if it is working or not.
Anyone tried backing up A3500 via SPFlash or MTKdroid tools or rooting?
Hey i wanna install the kali linux on my tab so if there is other way to do it without root it pls tell me
Hi
Me to .. I need to run Linux Ubuntu on my tablet.
But I think NO way to run linux without rooting your tablet.
This is how I rooted my A3500-FL under Xubuntu 14.04 (i have win 7 in VM):
1. install Virtualbox, not the OSE edition - get the full version from Oracle website and also the extesion pack (it enables direct access to USB devices)
2. Install windows (XP or 7, don't know about later versions)
3. Grab a copy of RootGenius from here
4. Enable usb debugging on tablet Connect your tablet via usb, make sure it is recognized by ubuntu, there is no need to mount it
lsusb for my device:
Code:
Bus 002 Device 004: ID 17ef:7738 Lenovo
5. Start your windows installation and mount the USB in virtualbox (there is a button for that at the bottom of a windows running your VM), make sure windows sees your device, it will probably fail to install the drivers
6. Start RootGenius, it should download and install drivers for this phone. Tutorial including usb debugging here. Click root a wait for a minute. Done
If yu are running windows skip steps 1-2.
Optional: make full system backup here
I did a backup before rooting. MTK tools somehow sneaked su binary past the android defences and got shell root after backing up.

How did you upgrade? OTA updater shows me only some minor version upgrade.
(First of all, although I have been reading XDA forums for years, this is my very first post. So, I apologize in advance for any mistakes.)
FULL DISCLAIMER: This ROOT method isn't for novice users. You will want to be familiar with things like ADB, custom recoveries, and phone system partitions before beginning. Also, do all of the following AT YOUR OWN RISK. It's not my fault that you turned your brand new phone into a beautifully colored brick.
If you've found this post, then you are like me. You just got this great new Blu Color phone, and you want to root it. But, all you can find online are posts about failed attempts to root it. Well, thanks to a guide I found online, we can all now have ROOT. Hooray!! Using the guide, I was able to get both a fully functioning CWM and an easy ROOT. To find the guide, just Google "100% Working ROOT + CWM - Readback your ROM with SP-Flash Tools," and click the first link. This method should (in theory) work for all of the "Blu C" (aka Blu Color) Android 4.4.2 phone variants. But, I can only VERIFY that it works for the Blu 5.0 C HD.
That's really all I have to say. Just follow that guide in order to get CWM installed, and then flash a SuperSU zip from recovery to achieve ROOT. I will say that watching the YouTube video is probably more helpful than reading the guide, just FYI. The ROOT sticks for me even after reboot. I've included some screenshots to "prove" that I have achieved ROOT on this device.
However, if any of you are brave enough to use them, I will give you the custom recovery file and scatter.txt file which I created. These files should save you some time and effort, by allowing you to skip forward to the last two steps (i.e. installing recovery and flashing the SuperSU zip). I've attached these two files to this post.
Quick note: In order to access the "download mode" needed for the SP Flash Tool, you need to remove the device's battery, then connect the device to your computer while HOLDING the Vol+ button. Once you have CWM Recovery installed, you can boot into recovery mode by either pressing Vol+ AND Vol- AND Power while the phone is off, then pressing Vol+ again. OR, you can enter recovery mode using the ADB command "adb reboot recovery".
ONLY use the files attached to this post IF you have a Blu 5.0 C HD. You will likely BRICK your device if you have ANY OTHER phone. Even the Blu 5.0 C Mini is probably too different.
Someone in the Google+ "Blu Development" community asked me a really good question, and I just wanted to post the reply here as well.
QUESTION: I tried this, but I never got the "read back" to work. How do you do it?
ANSWER: In order to get "read back" to work, you need to:
1. Unplug your phone and remove battery
2. Open up Windows device manager
3. Plug in your phone while holding the Vol+ button with battery still removed
4. Click on the new device which appears in the device manager (named "MediaTek Preloader," or something similar). Right click properties and then update the driver... Manually install the driver provided in the guide I referenced. Also, the video on the guide has a good walk through for this step, at around time 5:50. You need to be quick for this step, because the new device only appears in the device manager for a few seconds after the phone is plugged in.
5. Remove device again, start up SP Flash Tool, and get everything set up.
6. Click the "read back" button THEN reconnect phone to computer while holding Vol+ with battery removed. The read back process should start. It took my phone 22 minutes on my kinda slow laptop.
Hope this helps someone!

Reasonz20,
I'd love to post the link. But, I XDA doesn't allow me (as a "new" member) to post links yet. But, the YouTube video is embedded in the guide I provided, which you can find by searching for "100% Working ROOT + CWM - Readback your ROM with SP-Flash Tools," in Google.
And, for posterity's sake, you can find the YouTube video directly by searching in Google for "How to Root every MTK China Phone - Readback With SP-Flash - Root + CWM on INEW V8 [HD]," and clicking the first link.
Hope this helps!

I root my BLU Studio 5C HD by using Kingroot (super easy one click in 30s), then use MTK tools to flash CWM Recovery (done in 1 minute), then flash SuperSU and safety delete Kingroot.
hi, i need stock rom for studio 5c hd d534
I used Kingroot to root my phone, but I don't have a Windows computer so I'm not able to install CWM. Is there any way of installing CWM in linux?
Blu 5.0 C HD software update
Hello guys, I am new to the forum, but I was keeping an eye out for this thread, I tried everything on my Blu except the procedure mentioned above as I was too afraid that I might brick my phone. So recently my phone came up with an update available and I installed OTA. I tried again with kingoroot and now is working. I have a rooted phone after the update!!! I hope this help users get their Blu phone rooted.

Well, yes. But going into the specifics it perhaps beyond me. But I did install CWM in a kindle fire once through linux, because the driver wasn't working in Windows for me. However... For you... The easiest solution may be to download an illegal copy of Windows and run it in a Linux virtual box. Maybe? Or research how to do it in Linux. Sorry that I'm not more help.

I'm glad that you were able to root so easily! King root never worked for me, unfortunately. However, I am curious about your OTA update... My phone never got one. The wireless update page says my current version is BLU_D534U_V07_GENERIC. What's yours?
Extra info:

Android Version: 4.4.2

Has anyone tried any of the custom ROMS out there, for these other devices? Here's a link, with several, that could be interesting, if not as a daily driver, as a starting point to make more:

I'm glad that you were able to root so easily! King root never worked for me, unfortunately. However, I am curious about your OTA update... My phone never got one. The wireless update page says my current version is BLU_D534U_V07_GENERIC. What's yours?
Extra info:
Model: BLU STUDIO 5.0 C HD
Android Version: 4.4.2

5.0 C (not HD)
Hi everyone, well i recently purchased a BLU Studio 5.0 C (not HD) so can i install the recovery from the 5.0 HD in my phone? i don't want to brick my phone
Thanks in advance for any answer =)
The process should be the same, regardless of the model, for any of the phone with MTK chipsets.
That said, this SHOULD work. Be sure to follow the instructions exactly, and take your time. If you follow all the steps, and something goes wrong, the backup you do at the beginning can bail you out.
Use rom manager. Download it from play store and select your device and flash CWM custom recovery.
Not for my Blu Stdio 5.0
I few day ago i ask if i can used this recovery for my BLU Studio 5.0 (not HD) and apparently couple of people say yes... well, my phone is brick... i took it to where i buy it cus it have warranty and i told them that is just stop working lol, they give me a new one with no question about it. Awesome!
So don't use it in your blu if is not BLU Studio 5.0 HD.
Guys can someone please provide stock ROM for studio 5c hd

Hi all,
So I tried to do the clever thing and read how to update my P10 Plus from vky-l09c432b120 to latest.
I tried and failed.
Now I cannot load from Recovery, but I can get the Team Win Recovery Project to appear and go through options. I have no OS apparently. Oops!
I've tried looking for answers, but it seems either people are unanswered, or the step by steps aren't apparent to me, so I apologise if I'm being slow to discover the solution!
Can someone help me?
I suggest to follow the instruction in the thread for rebranding. Just download the latest version of the firmware for your model and flash it
Hello,
I accidentally hard-bricked my OP5 yesterday (interrupted an accidental reboot - yikes) and managed to unbrick it using the MSMDownloadtool from one of the threads here (thanks!). But I realized afterward that the MSM I used was an old one, and that I have Android 8.1.0 installed and no way to upgrade it (the phone doesn't find any update, and flashing the zip from the official website, I think there is a compatibility issue and it doesn't work...). As I'm really annoyed with android 8 and liked android 10 so much more, is there any way to upgrade it back to android 10?
My question might have already been answer, but I really don't understand most of the things that are said in here...
It might also be important to point out I have some issues with my drivers on my laptop. Windows wouldn't find the ADB driver from Android Studio (while virtually every tutorial said it should work...) and fastboot couldn't find my device.
I hope someone will read this haha ^^'
I'll be forever thankful if someone finds the solution...
edit: The solution was pretty easy actually. Use the "Oxygen updater" that will gradually update your OS until it's recent enough that the phone automatically finds the last update

Great to know you were able to unbrick your device.
I have a similar situation, have bricked my device and tried the MSM download tool to flash, but could not get my device to boot (I get the black screen - blue led on boot).
Could you please share the link to the MSMDownloadtool with the Android 8.1.0 image (let me try with this to see if this can work).

I can't get mtk client to complete handshake.. so far as I can tell I have the proper drivers, etc installed - any advice? I saw something about disconnecting the battery?
Edit: ok I got it running via live cd so I assume I did something wrong with the driver's in Windows... I've got the phone all connected to the mtkclient and tried to just write the partitions from the modified backup onto the device... But once I do that the phone won't restart until I put my original partitions back.. any direction on what I'm actually supposed to do appreciated

I was just about to ask if you were using Linux, Windows doesn't really play well with MTK Client. I'm glad you got it sorted!
Hello friends . Could someone help me with a criket dream 5g model ec211001. I have the ROM. But I don't know how to install it on my phone. I want to install it because the phone turns on and stays in a red sign that says it's corrupt. Greetings

Any plan to update it with the latest TWRP 3.7.x to support Android 12?
In this thread, there is a working Android 12 for Dream 5G.
