TB-8304F1 Tab 8 - Stuck on Android 7.0
Hi, apologies if this isn't the correct way to do this.
I too have a Lenovo Tab E8 which I just purchased and found I cannot upgrade it beyond 7.0
Details are:
Model : TB-8304F
Kernel: 3.18.35
Build: TB-8304F_S000030_190227_ROW
Does anyone know if there is a way to update this to a later version of Android. I have never rooted any of my android devices so this will be new to me.
Thanks, Shane

No, there are no available roms for this device so operating system cannot be updated beyond 7.
The only thing possible is to temporarily root (which resets after each reboot) and install some apps with root access. SetCpu did not work for me to increase speed

Here is a guide to root the Lenovo Tab 8
(GUIDE) Lenovo Tab 8 (Lenovo TB-8304F1) Root Guide
I found a way to root this tablet booted root. However it will tell you it has a red state when you turn it on and stall your boot by 5 sec. NOTE: If you would like to obtain your own boot image from your tablet to feel safer Follow this Post...

Would that be like following the guide on how to install it on the Lenovo essential 7 tablet? I'm keen on getting a custom recovery installed

has anyone had luck unlocking the E8 as the website won't allow me to enter the serial number

[ROOT] How to root Huawei P8 AndroId 6.0 Emui 4.0.3

Hello,
I've been trying to root my Huawei P8 on Android 6.0 and EMUI 4.0.3 on Build B337 (GRA-L09C33B337)
The problem is that I cannot find a root guide for EMUI 4.0.3, the closest guide I can find is for 4.0.1 and I have no idea if it will work smoothly or not. Could someone tell me if this guide (hidden link below) is going to work? If not, is there any working guide out there?
Thank you

Yes, works perfectly, if you follow the instructions EXACTLY and use the latest TWRP and Super SU.
I used method A) Rooting in systemless Mode (by maintaining the original Stock-Kernel).

Thank you, it worked. I have a problem though, my Lastpass app stopped working, re-installing doesn't change a thing. What could be the issue?

It depends on the specific model -- there are many custom builds for various prepaid and postpaid carriers. If you search the forums you may find the information you are looking for.
For example, after reviewing the forum topics, it appears my J7 Sky Pro 727vl from Tracfone does not so far have a root available.
Hi dear
I own a device J7 2017 (j730f) I suggest you use the official ROM Oreo with the root (Magisk)
I use it and it works perfectly, of course. After disabling some non-important applications and for RAM and battery the same efficiency as the previous Android 7.0
There are several explanations on this site for the root

[Q] Galaxy Tab A 10.1 2016 (SM-T580) Root help

I'm hoping to root this 10.1" Galaxy Tab A 2016 model (aka SM-T580) which is running android Oreo 8.1. I can't seem to find a guide that says it will work on these tablets which are running 8.1. So can someone can either guide me themselves or link me somewhere that can. Preferably a no PC method. But methods that do require a PC are fine too. I'm familiar with ODIN as well as Android Fastboot etc.
I found this method but it doesn't specify if it will work on Oreo 8.1 or not -

I made THIS little guide after rooting my T585 running Oreo end of last year. Your T580 is basically the same (just without LTE), you simply need to replace any gtaxllte downloads with the gtaxlwifi versions. :good:
I have since then updated to Pie custom roms and everything is still running fine
Good luck :fingers-crossed:
Is there way to root this tablet without having to flash TWRP?

I guess if you installed the Magisk Manager app it might be able to root your boot image ... you'd have to extract it, let Magisk patch it and then flash it via adb.
Just a guess though, I didn't try it on this device. Flashing Magisk through TWRP is so much easier :angel:

Apparently not. Methods vary according to which version of Android you have. I think eveyone has 8.1 by now, and I'll assume you have it also. So far, the following is the easiest method to follow. Here's the tutorial from You Tube that I know works. You can use Magisk 18 (which I have provided) or 18.1, both work for the device.

That's not even the current version - 19.3 is and can be downloaded via the original Magisk thread.

Have you rooted your device? I don't know if the 19.1 version works. I know the 18.0 and 18.1 do. Try it with the version 19 and let us know.

Samsung Galaxy Tab 4(SM-T530) with Android 5.0.2 looking for newer Android version

Hi, as the title says I have a Samsung Galaxy Tab 4(SM-T530) with Android 5.0.2 and I wonder if it is possible to have a newer Android version installed on it? Or maybe a custom rom?
I have done some searching but I can't find the required info.
Thanks for any help.
I did search but cannot find anything...help is appreciated.
Nobody who knows?

Hi DJABHipHop,
Thanks for all the work you've done.
I have a Sumsung SM-T530 (matissewifixx)
OS: Lollipop 5.0.2
Bootloader: T530XXU1BQB2
After a quick learning curve I've been following the https://www.getdroidtips.com/lineage-os-17-1-galaxy-tab-4-10-1#Pre-Requirements article:
1) Used Odin3-v3.10.6.exe to root my device
2) Installed the latest TWRP 3.0.0-0-.matisse.img <-- It appears you're using a newer version (TWRP-3.2.3-0_matissewifi-180918.img) - question to follow
3) Attempted (unsuccessfully) to install the lightning-17.1-20201012-UNOFFICIAL-matissewifi-Unsweetened-XDA-BUILD
I receive an Error 7 - basically not identifying my device correctly from what the error says
Now the article actually mentions this exact issue...
To install Lineage OS 17.1 on your Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 10.1, you need to unlock bootloader and running the latest TWRP Recovery. If you are on the old version, you will see error 7 warning text while installing the custom ROM on Galaxy Tab 4 10.1 (matisse) device.

Because I'm new to this whole process, I want to be sure I am doing the right thing (don't want to brick the device)
Do I need to use the TWRP version you reference in https://forum.xda-developers.com/tab-4/development/samsung-galaxy-tab-4-light-project-t3877643/post78389814#post78389814?

3.0.0-0 isn't the latest TWRP. Check https://forum.xda-developers.com/tab-4/development/recovery-twrp-recovery-matisse-millet-t4019831 and install matisse version. Then, you can install lfr 17.1 or los 16.
And to get more precise informations, check always XDA, not external bad blogs...

Thanks matteo,
Your tip/link has worked I've now upgraded to twrp-3.4.0-3-matisse and the 17.1 OS install has now been successful.
Good advice on the 'external' blogs... my next step is to install the 'GApps', that 'external' blog suggested some more external links to get the right Apps, more confusing for a newbie that the original article...
any advice would be greatly appreciated.
