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

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 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])

Bootloader unlock allowed - Yes << this means that your Bootloader is Locked
Bootloader Unlocked - Yes << this means that your bootloader is unlocked
Please give me a feedback... i can make the tutorials and instructions but i also need you the give feedback and help it can incrase my work speed i shall try to publish everything by this wednesday-thusday......

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.

[Help]Root ZE550KL

Hello everyone =)
First, sorry if my english is bad, not my native language =)
So, i'm kind of a newbie in rooting stuff. I had a Galaxy S2 some times ago and I rooted it easily at the first try. Luck I guess
Two days ago, i've bought a Zenfone 2 Laser ZE550KL and yesterday, I tried to root it with Asus Zenfone method (i'm not allowed to post link for moment :/ )
Very very bad thing happened. The last command "fastboot oem reboot-recovery" (or other form of this command) failed in cmd program as "unknown command", still don't know why and my phone was in a bootloop.
After 9 hours this night to try to recover it with differents system.img, I've finally restaured it, and it works ! (pheew ! ). But I still want to root my device, but my knowledge in this is very low :/ and I don't want to do stupid sh** anymore, I'd like to know how to do to avoid any brick or nightmare bootlop of the death (NBOTD haha)^^ so I hope find some help here for root my ZE550KL =)
(Just in case, i'm on Android 6.0.1, WW_21.40.1220.179420160722)
I've read a lot of post in this forum, but I don't know which ways are safer for my version ^^'
Thanks for reading, waiting for replies

Asus Z300M (Mediatek)

I'm trying to root the brand new model with MediaTek processor (Z300M) but nothing has worked so far. Any suggestions?

I'm surprised there is no root for this ?? I'd love to get rid of all the ASUS bloatware??

any luck?
for any mt8163 devices anywhere?

Damn, hoped by now there would be something... oh well... back to the cave.

Asus ZenPad 10 Z300M (P00C) Android 6.0
Has Anyone had any luck finding a way to unlock the bootloader on a Z300M (P00C) (marshmallow 6.0, Android security patch level 1 December 2016)
I'm trying to root it so I can change the ROM on it to the new Android 7.1 . I've been reading all the post in hear about it, Tried all the intel stuff (no joy) KingRoot doesn't work, Won't pay OneClick.. Came across some dodgy webpage with a program called Autoroot tools V3.0 Which wants you to install some software first before it lets you download the program....... very suspect.. so no. Back to square one No Unlocked Bootloader, no root....... can anyone help ?

You may find this useful ..
https://forum.xda-developers.com/an...d-10-z300c-t3214802/post65188654#post65188654

Asus have released their bootloader unlock tool, it may be somewhere to start. I'd suggest you check the support section of the asus website for the Z300M. I've downloaded, installed and tried to run however it failed. I've updated the tablet to android 7.0 and made no other modifications, tried on the home WiFi and hotspot through my phone. Failing them two I attempted to reflash 7.0 in the hopes that would help... The tablet doesn't pick up the files. Possibly because it isn't so much an update?
Either way I've become stuck on this whole situation too. It's quite a pain and I don't have the knowledge to start from scratch, I'm not even sure where to start.

Guys, I'm pretty sure you don't need to unlock the bootloader to flash anything to that tablet. The Z300M and the Z380M are basically the same tablet, just with a different screen size. I've had a fully working TWRP custom recovery posted for the Z380M since April. There's also a version of Mediatek Smartphone Flash Tool that lets you flash it without any bootloader unlock. So here's what you need to do, in a nutshell, to build and flash a custom recovery for the Z300M:
Make a scatter file for this device. The partition layout may be the same as the Z380M, in which case you can just use mine (just change the project name). If not, you can build one from the GPT by reading off the first 4 or 5 sectors from the flash ROM with Flash Tool's readback function and converting the LBA addresses to byte addresses.
Take my recovery source code and import the compiled kernel from the Z300M.
Change TWRP's theme layout (e.g. to landscape mode).
Change the model/device names to ones corresponding to the stock names.
Compile and flash it with SP Flash Tool
I'll be glad to help build the scatter file, etc. Just PM me the GPT.

Removed all information due to the wrong process being used.

Upgrade ALE-L21FRAC530B181

Hi everyone,
I'm trying to updgrade my P8 from emui 3.1.1 to at least 4.0,
I'd like to finally get Marshamallow ?
Did you figure it out ? I'm not comfortable rooting etc without being sure !!
Thanks in advance !!

Assuming you have the ALE-L21
Download the over for your device:
Single SIM: http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/data/files/p3/s15/G1084/g104/v88493/f1/full/update.zip
Dual SIM: http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/data/files/p3/s15/G1084/g104/v88317/f1/full/update.zip
- Extract the UPDATE.APP somewhere.
- Inside the root of your SD card create a folder named "dload" (obviously without the quotes) and put the UPDATE.APP file there.
- Go to Settings > Software upgrade. Tap the menu button, select Local Update and click the UPDATE.APP shown.
A reboot prompt will come up, I trust you know what to do

Test
Hi,
thanks for the info but I got the error message "Software install failed".
I already tried with a few downloads from the official website.
Seems like nothing is working.
I've read somewhere that the B181 is harder to update..

you must change vendor/country first with Huawei Multi tool

Yeah, you need to change vendor to europe.
Get the tool from here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-8/development/tool-huawei-multi-tool-team-mt-t3523923
And follow this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JyRCqO8BPgs (but choose the stuff needed. The device is p8 lite and europe region (hw/eu)
then update will work.
The thing is that it needs unlocked bootloader and stuff, it seems. Maybe you're stuck if you don't want to tinker
You can do it without ROOT with the TWRP method. Search the forums for unlock bootloader and TWRP

UPDATE; Get the latest full from here: http://hwmt.ru/hwmtsite/firmware-database/?firmware_model=ALE-l21fra&firmware_page=0 and then do the OTAs

Hey thank you so much, I'm gonna try this as soon as I can.
I gotta admit I was beginning to let go --'.

If it's not Marshmallow the only other way is to install TWRP. Honestly there are no real dangers to it if you know what you're doing.

Well that's the thing I don't know anything about Android ? . I have to take some time to really get into it

You don't need to actually understand the internals, it's not like you're developing for it. Just look online for articles and esoecially on XDA. Basic terms like rooting and the partitions of an android device e.t.c. The basis of tinkering is flashing zips and images in TWRP and knowing how to recover with a backup. Goodl luck

huawei p9 lite VNS-L31C440B392 Root - Complete noob

Hello everyone, this must have been answered a million times but i am struggling with things from the get go....
1. From what I read I need to get the unlock code in order to unlock the bootloader right? but it seems huawei stopped giving out these a while ago so.... what the heck do I do???
2. I cannot find the firmware (ROM?? OS?? is that all the same thing?) for my particular device. I do find some for huawei p9 lite VNS-L31 but the rest of the reference is different (e.g. instead of C440 I find C436 or instead of B392 I find B396 or whatever)
3. Most times I find the software I need, I click on the link to download it and.... 404 page not found
4. I don;t know what the heck TWRP does? why do I need this?
Has anyone managed to get this particular device rooted???
For reference, the reason I am doing this is to simply be able to use my 64GB SD card as internal storage (I currently have 16GB only) because, as you can imagine, I am struggling with space... The options to use SD card as default storage don't work (or at least for most and larger apps). If there is another way to accomplish this at all, I am all ears!
Thanks in advance!
Edit1:
I installed https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=me.twrp.twrpapp on it and it doesn't work at all. After I agree with the T&Cs and click 'Agree' the app closes...

once bootloader unlock it will boot into Bootloader mode ..adb command agin with
fastboot reboot
Wait for finish booting up....thats all

Hi. thanks for this: I managed to get an adb software and it works until a point (albeit i have to use .\ before the first command keyword). I type .\adb reboot bootloader like you said, then the phone does NOT ask me to authorise and then I type .\fastboot flashing unlock and I get the following:
PS C:\Users\-------\Downloads\platform-tools_r31.0.2-windows\platform-tools> .\fastboot flashing unlock
FAILED (remote: 'password wrong')
fastboot: error: Command failed
Any ideas?
thanks!!
