I was fortunate enough to come across a new H918 that is still running 10d.
While waiting for it to be delivered, I've been combing the threads on rooting and have seen several methods to accomplish this. My end goal is to have TWRP and root.
The phone was delivered yesterday. Now that I have it in hand, would someone be so kind as to point me to the best custom recovery/root thread to follow?

Hey guys, I'm wondering if anybody knows how you can root the TPT in such a way that after the ICS upgrade, it will still be rooted? I've seen a number of people talking about having done that over at the lenovo forums. I have build 0089_US.
Anybody know if this is doable?
EDIT:
Currently my TPT is bone stock.
Hey there, go to www.thinkpadtabletforums.com
In the root and hacks section of the forum, look for the topic "yet another root exploit for the thinkpad tablet (YAREFTPT)" and follow the instructions in that thread. That is the only exploit that'll work on your current tablet version. And by the way, you will need to be patient to get root to work and follow the instructions to the letter.
After rooting, there is another topic on that forum "installing ota3 with root preservation". Its a sticky, so you shouldn't have problems finding it. Follow those instructions AFTER rooting your tablet. It generally involves temp unrooting before updating and then restoring root back.
Hey folks. I was on rooted pb1 custom rom with unlocked bootloader. Ran into some issues, created a mess, and had to Odin back to rooted 4.4.4 ni2. I'm trying to figure out the easiest way to get back to rooted 5.0 pb1 on my own, and am getting confused. Seems like a lot of folks are bailing on this device, but I can't afford to yet. Can someone be kind enough to point me in the right direction. Any help would be appreciated.
Been looking at many old threads and finding a lot of dead download links. Can anyone just help me get started?
Figured this out a while ago, if mod wants to delete
Does anyone have a link to the best root method for the H918 T-Mobile phone? I found the dirty Santa, but it's not for our model.
Thanks
Recowvery. Its in the forum under developement.
I follwed this http://android.wonderhowto.com/how-to/root-your-t-mobile-lg-v20-using-dirty-cow-0175329/ for my H918 its a basically a fully detailed step by step of this https://forum.xda-developers.com/v20/development/h918-recowvery-unlock-v20-root-shell-t3490594 which is the manual way.
The article made much more sense 'seeing' each and every single step as I was terrified on bricking. I followed it to the letter & put some tips in the comment section (3rd comment). Also make sure you're on update 10D [settings,about phone, software info, software version].
Happy Rooting

Hey everyone ! I've looked at countless threads and youtube videos and have learned a lot already but I admit I'm new to the root process. I joined this forum because I'm an android lover and want to unlock the full potential of my phone (delete unwanted apps, run lineageOS, improve battery life, etc.) and I respect you guys being extremely knowledgeable on the subjects.
However my issue is finding a way to root my phone in a "please explain like I'm 5" process without bricking a brand new verizon samsung galaxy s5 900V.
Currently I am running Android 6.0.1 and from my understanding I cannot root my phone because I have a Toshiba CID 11 which means I would have to flash back to lollipop 5.0.1 first. Unfortunately I have yet to find a simplified up to date thread on flashing my firmware back to lollipop and I could definitely use some better guidance on those steps.
Once I figure out how to downgrade my firmware, my next step was going to be to start the process of rooting the device and then possibly update firmware back to marshmallow once I figure out the necessary steps.
If anyone out there can help "dumb down" this process for me and offer some clear, organized steps I would be forever grateful for your kindness. My end goal is to have an encrypted device running lineageOS and superSU along with any other necessary applications involved with rooting and also to remove much of the "bloat" from my device. Any help is appreciated and thank you for your time !
