Installing ClockworkMod Recovery
- To be able to install ClockworkMod Recovery on your Galaxy Gio, your phone must be rooted first and must be running Android 2.3.3 Gingerbread or higher.
- Download the ClockworkMod Recovery update package from here. http://www.mediafire.com/?p7r2bcn9447bpc8
- Copy the ZIP file into the root of your phone’s SD card. Do not place the file inside any subfolder.
- Reboot the phone into recovery mode by holding down the Home/OK (middle) button as you turn on the phone using the Power button. In recovery mode, use the Volume buttons for navigation and the Home/OK button for selecting.
- Select “Update from SD card” from the recovery menu.
- Look for the ClockworkMod Recovery package file from the list that appears.
- Select the ClockworkMod package file to start installing CWM
- Reboot your phone.

Kernel version: 3.4.67
Build number: A3500FL_A442_01_25_140823_SE
BB Chip: MT6582
MS Board. A3500FL
Bar code: this was my device's serial number
SW Ver.: ALPS.KK1.MP1.V2.10
Custom Build Verno.: 1408775889
Managed to get cwm and root with this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/and...vo-a3500-h-t2879208/post55491817#post55491817
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.
Thanks and credits go to: @Koli96 and @bobais
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.

Hello, guys this is my first post but i am quite sure that my methods work.If there any problems then u can surely ask in the section below. This thread will be a GUIDE TO ROOT AND INSTALL CUSTOM RECOVERY FOR MOTO G 1st Gen users.
Some prerequisites are:
1. Motorola drives (https://motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/88481)
2.Fastboot and recovery files (https://www.dropbox.com/sh/9jf2va51ffg0pzq/AAAxDT-ETf7AESIcHGnfEgv7a?dl=0)
[ Let these files be downloaded and kept in Cdrive of ur pc and and place them on the desktop.. Please name this folder MOTO FILES]
3. SuperSu files https://download.chainfire.eu/696/supersu/ and[/url] paste it in ur phones internal memory and please do this after unlocking the bootloader cause bootloader unlocking will delete everything so its better to do it after unlocking bootloader
Download these files and ur done... Now lets continue to the fun part
This process involves three very simple steps :
1. Unlocking the Bootloader:-
This process is infact very easy to do. There are several guides on the internet regarding this process but the one that i suggest is by High On Android/ Max Lee . Follow his method and u can very easily unlock ur bootlader. Copy this url and see it for urself fellow guys...http://highonandroid.com/android-smartphones/how-to-unlock-bootloader-on-motorola-android-smartphone
2. Erasing ur previous recovery and installing a new one and rooting ur phone all in one process
Some users have been reporting that even after installing custom recovery , whenever they go into recovery they enter into stock recovery. The actual problem is that the stock rom of the Moto G rewrites over the new custom recovery installed.
So we have to install the recovery actually twice but it only takes a few minutes
i) Firstly be sure to have lots of juice in your phone
ii) Boot ur phone into the bootloader by power offing ur device and then pressing the volume down and power button together for 10 seconds and then leaving both of them together.
iii) Now connect ur device to ur pc/laptop
iv) Now open a cmd and enter the following commands(press enter after every command)
- cd Desktop
-cd MOTO FILES
-fastboot flash recovery Recovery2.img
-fastboot reboot-bootloader
[MAKE SURE NOT TO REBOOT UR DEVICE ]
v) Now ur phone has custom recovery installed in it and u shud now enter into recovery mode by choosing the option from the bootloader, by pressing volume down and then volume up while in bootloader mode.
vi) This will open the Philz recovery that i have provided with. I prefer the philz recovery over the cwm one. Now go on and install the SuperSu update zip file. And BOOM ur Device is now rooted !!!!.
vii) Now reboot ur phone and u must install
-ROOT CHECKER (to check root)
- and most importantly ROOT EXPLORER
viii) After following step (vii), now if u try to go into recovery, u will be booted to stock recovery. So to prevent that use the ROOT EXPLORER app and go to the root \system\etc and delete the file named install-recovery.sh .
ix) After deleting the file u will once again have to follow step (iv) and install custom recovery this will ensure u having custom recovery even after rebooting ur device and u will have ROOT access as well
On which android version , were you on before rooting . 5.01 or 5.1 .
This method works for both 5.1 and 5.01
Hi am new for this platform I don't know anything about it... Plz help me out my what's up number is 9901146849

Follow the steps and be happy.

Remember: In some marshmallow ROMs (e. g. CM 13 and CyanPop) flashing SuperSU causes some trouble!

if u want to install twrp recovery and u have its file then i will suggest u to use my method that i have given above and instead writing the command
fastboot flash recovery Recovery2.img u can change it to fastboot flash recovery [name of the recovery file, dont forget the .img at the end]. Thats all u have to do. I saw that video prior to installing custom recovery in my phone too and noticed that his link was broken thats how i figured out my method of installing custom recovery. Its very easy. just follow the steps. :good::good::good:

Once i finished steps all, When i open SuperSU, popup window says, "There is no SU binary installed, and SuperSU cannot install in it. This is the Problem!
If you just upgraded to android 5.0, you need to manually re-root - consult the relevant forums for your device!

Sorry! Root access is not properly installed on this device

Thanks for this useful post. I've just followed the instructions to root my XT1032 Stock Lollipop 5.1, and they work. However, I have a few comments:
[1] I had already installed Motorola Device Manager on my (Windows 7) PC, plus 'Minimal ADB and Fastboot'. This was sufficient – I didn't need to download the files in your prerequisite 2.
[2] You can use any compatible recovery image. I prefer TWRP, so downloaded openrecovery-twrp-2.8.1.0-xt1032.img.
[3] The SuperSu zip file you've linked to is out of date. The current one is version 2.46 (for Lollipop).
[4] After flashing SuperSu it's advisable to wipe the cache and Dalvik cache.
[5] Root Checker showed that BusyBox wasn't installed, so I downloaded Stephen Erickson's BusyBox installer from the Play Store. This is an essential step, as most programs requiring root won't work without BusyBox. Perhaps it could be added to the OP?
[6] You don't need to use Root Explorer – any root-compatible file manager will do. I prefer Total Commander.
[7] Having deleted (or in my case renamed) install-recovery.sh and then rebooted, I didn't need to go back to step iv and reinstall the custom recovery; in my case TWRP was still there. I think your step ix is unnecessary; at least it's worth checking which recovery you have.
I hope these points are useful and not too nit-picking!

Reinstallation of custom recovery is not must its just for safety precautions and I have finally updated the SuperSu link. As far as Busybox u will have to install it customly only.

Make sure you have installed Samsung USB drivers
https://developer.samsung.com/galaxy/others/android-usb-driver-for-windows
Odin
https://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=4431597&d=1519662712
Twrp
https://dl.twrp.me/klte/
Switch phone off
Put phone in download mode (hold Vol down home button and power button)
Connect phone to PC via USB USB
Push Vol up to start connection
Put twrp image.tar in the AP section of odin
Begin flash
As soon as the phone restarts enter recovery mode by holding Vol up home button & power button.
Failure to immediately enter recovery mode will mean twrp will not stick & you will need to reflash
If it's not flashing change usb cable & try again
You also may want to update your firmware if not already on the latest version - you can either download the entire firmware from sammobile.com or if you are planning on using a custom rom & don't want to download the entire stock firmware you can just update the bootloader and modem

https://duromaticspares.uk/lineageos/G900FXXU1CQK3_G900FXXU1CRH1_Baseband_Firmware.tar
Again put in AP section of odin and flash
I have samsung drivers installed, I'm going to try and change the usb cable, and what is that download link that you sent me? Is it stock firmware?
So ok TWRP worked, but when I try to flash it I get this error:
! Boot image patched by unsupported programs
! Cannot uninstall
Thanks for the help wiith odin :victory: !

What are you trying to flash? Magisk?
Sounds like you have previous kernel mods that are not allowing magisk to flash
Best thing to do here is flash stock rom via odin and start again
Goto sammobile.com and download the latest firmware and flash via odin
Once flashed goto recovery (it will now be stock recovery) and perform a format data/factory reset
Obviously backup any files to pc before you do the above
The other link was the update for modem & Bootloader which saves downloading the entire latest firmware
Flash in odin - place in AP section
However since you are going to be downloading the entire firmware as long as it's the latest version you don't need this

The thing it doesnt let me download the latest firmware, it says that free download is not avaible, and I need to buy premium but I I am not doing that.
Oh and does it matter what country I choose?

Sammobile.com free servers keep going up and down like yoyos
Use this one (choose slow speed for free download)
https://samsung-firmware.org/download/GALAXY__S5__/1l88/BTU/G900FXXU1CRH1/G900FOXA1CRH1/
So I flashed this rom with ODIN now I am going to try and install twrp then try to flash magisk uninstaller.

Most free servers are offline for maintenance - when they are back up I'll download it & upload it
The thanks button is below each post (don't think it shows on the app but I don't use it)

Custom rom based on the latest Android source code (although Los 16 based on Android pie is still in beta so stick Los 15.1 based on oero) - no Samsung bloat and more customized features
You can find more details on the lineageos website
I am sorry if this is not the correct forum for this question, I'm not sure where this should go.
I have the Samsung Galaxy Tab A 10.1" (SM-T580) & I want to delete/remove some apps from it that are Built-In & don't have a removal choice to them. Can someone point me in the right direction to get this accomplished?

You have to flash TWRP and then flash Magisk/SuperSU in TWRP. You can find TWRP and flashing instructions here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...-official-twrp-gtaxlwifi-galaxy-t3437666/amp/

Thank you for the link.
The page came up fine, but when I click on the links http://teamw.in/devices/samsunggalax...1wifi2016.html & https://idlekernel.com/flash-tools;
I get: "This site can’t be reached teamw.in took too long to respond." & "This site can’t be reached idlekernel.com refused to connect."
This happened on both my desktop computer & Samsung tablet .

1. Do I need to download both TWRP & Odin? To my Samsung tablet or desktop computer?
2. TWRP states 'Root Required', how do I do that?
3. Odin states 'No Root Required', so is Odin easier & doesn't need TWRP?

1. Put both TWRP and Odin on your computer.
2&3. You don't need to be rooted to flash TWRP with Odin.

Hello. I've downloaded both me.twrp.twrpapp-26.apk & Odin3_v3.13.1_3B_PatcheD.zip, then used WinRAR to extract the .zip files. What do I do now?
I've never done this before & would appreciate some instruction.

1. Download the latest TWRP .tar file not the .apk file or the .img file from the link posted before.
2. Boot your phone into Download mode by either pressing power + volume down + home, or if you dont have a home button hold the bixby button instead.
3. Connect your device to your computer using a USB cable and run the Odin executable.
4. Load the TWRP .tar file in the AP tab of Odin.
5. Disable Auto reboot in the options section.
6. Click on start and it will flash TWRP recovery.
7. to boot into TWRP recovery hold power + volume down + home/bixby and immediatly when the screen goes black hold the power button + volume up button + home/bixby button.
8. You should be in TWRP recovery
9. Make a backup of your important partitions by clicking on the "Backup" tab in TWRP and selecting the boot and efs partitions, then swipe to backup the selected partitions.
10. Now click on "install" and browse for the Magisk zip file and tap on it.
11. Then swipe right to flash it.

Sidetracked, but I'm back & have a few questions before I start to follow your instructions.
1. I download the latest Magisk zip file (v20.4.zip). I keep it zipped, not extracted; correct?
2. Where do I download the latest TWRP .tar file? I only find the .apk files.
3. Do I still need the Odin3_v3.13.1_3B_PatcheD.zip file?
4. Would the program: KINGROOT be a little easier & safer for a beginner as myself?
