MS Board. A3500FL
Bar code: this was my device's serial number
SW Ver.: ALPS.KK1.MP1.V2.10

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.

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?

browse to your supersu zip and apply.
Now I also update the first post's guide, so you can check that out too.
Thanks for the help so far. But now I'm starting to doubt that the CWM install went successfully. Let me show you a picture of my screen after a failed install of the UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.02.zip -file.

Then it starts installation, but aborts it in a few seconds. So am I booting to just a normal recovery mode and not CWM?

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.

Twrp updated in the link? I assume so and downloading
Sent from my SM-T231 using XDA Free mobile app
It worked!
My device is SM T231
android 4.4.2
Bought it, didn't update or anything
Downloaded your zip files, and scanned with antivirus (eset)- was clean.
Turned of antivirus and firewall.
Did everything in the post.
Changed the following (guide for extreme noobs)- that's me
Downloaded zip
open odin
Switched off before putting in download mode.
Put Tablet in download mode by Pressing the Home button + Power + Volume Down. Release buttons ,when you see a warning -DON'T PANIC -WAIT FEW SECONDS then press the volume up (vol +) to continue to download mode.
Connect your Tablet to your PC
Now you have to untick the Auto Reboot option in the ODIN. Otherwise the TWRP wouldn't start in the recovery mode.
Copy recovery.img.tar.md5 to C:
There is a option named 'BL' in the ODIN . Just tick that and click on 'BL'.
Now Select the recovery.img.tar.md5 file from the extracted zip.
Press START Button in the ODIN.
Wait till odin software says "RESET"
Press and hold Home button + Power + Volume Up button until your device restart into the recovery mode.
Click reboot
click system
Swipe when it asks swipe to install
Phone will reboot and open normally
Odin software will say "PASS"
ROOTING
Connect Tab to computer and paste SUPERUSER.ZIP into documents folder of Tab
BOOT INTO RECOVERY MODE BY PRESSING POWER BUTTON+HOME BUTTON+VOLUME UP BUTTON
NOW SELECT INSTALL
Select Documents folder
Select SUPERUSER.ZIP
Swipe when it asks (I forgot whether it will tell "swipe to install" or "swipe to flash"
It will say "Successful"
Select Reboot to System
Done

No. I'm glad it worked out for you in this one specific instance, but you should be using the AP button, not the BL button to flash a custom recovery. Please edit this in your post, you shouldn't be giving other new users potentially dangerous and erroneous advice

How to root and flash recoveries!
Its just easy mate, first of all youll need a PC, Odin3, and a USB Cable. Download SuperSU zip file on the chainfire website in youre phone, download TWRP or CWM recovery tar file on a specific thread, install Odin3 on any website (You need working one), so after downloading those youll need to turn off and put your phone in Download Mode or Odin mode which is for Samsung. Connect the phone into the PC and open Odin3, after opening youll see buttons which includes AP or PDA. Select it and choose the tar file and turn off any settings if told on instructions of installation, after setting those flash and once its done and shows "PASS!" remove battery for 10 secs if told and set your phone on recovery. Select install zip and choose the SuperSU zip file on the download location and BOOM! Youre done mate.

You need to flash TWRP first
But there is No TWRP FOR SM-G710K
Flashing will probably Brick your device and/or corrupt your EFS partition
So my situation right now is pretty ****ty, I almost bricked my device, but I got stock firmware form xda and thats okay, I wanted to unroot my phone, opened up supersu but it said that I wasn't rotted, then I went to snapchat it says that oh no your attempt blah blah blah, then I tried to play pokemon go, still same which means that I still have root but I can't unroot, btw I have TWRP installed, what do I do? Oh and my device is SM-G900F.

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.

:fingers-crossed:
Still not working and plus, the link that you sent me will be downloading for 17-10 hours so thats really bad cause my internet speed is way better.

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)

A great guide. This is just a manual for firmware and TWRP update, but to get root you still need to extract boot.img, patch with Magisk and then flash with Odin, right?
It worked for me. I came from BeyondRom 2.1. Thanks for guide.

Flash Magisk (stable)
6. TWRP - Multi-Disabler Firmware
7. Reboot TWRP - Flash Magisk (stable)
or Patching Boot Image
This is required only If you want to root device without installing custom recovery (TWRP).
Here is Patched kernel to root
Unzip the boot.img from AP and copy the file to your device.
Press the Install button in the Magisk card
Choose “Select and Patch a File” in method, and select the stock boot image
Magisk Manager will patch the image to [Internal Storage]/Download/magisk_patched.img.
Now you will have Magisk_patched.img file in download folder - Copy that file to PC.
Rename that magisk_patched.img to boot.img (Name must be exact same).
Make sure your PC have 7-zip installed, If not get and install it.
Right click on boot.img and select 7zip - select "add to archive" - select archieve format as 'tar' - and name it Patched_Kernel (it will be like Patched_Kernal.tar). Don't keep space in name. This will create a Odin flashable patched kernel
Reboot to download mode. Open Odin on your PC, and flash Patched_Kernal.tar as AP.
Reboot and Done !

It´s for exynos? And i need unlock bootloader?
it worked out
I have a question. Does the file "(twrp-z3s-3.5.0_10-A11_x_ianmacd.img) containing TWRP + patched vbmeta.im"g given in 1 post match the newest DUBA?
I already know because I checked. It is possible that I used the latest TWRP IMcd and vbmet from the Beyond Rom thread. I have packed both of these files into a .tar file and it works for DUBA.
