Please help. I rooted my evo last yr but have now switched to verizon and need to root my revolution.
I have read many of the threads on this site as wel as others. It seemed that z4root would work and be the simplest way. But now I hope i didn't screw up my phone. Heres what I did:
enabled USB Debugging
downloaded z4root.apk from 4shared onto my SD card
downloaded astro file mgr from the market
started z4root, selected permanent root
it said running exploit in order to obtain root access
then installing shell
then it crashed
i tried again but the z4root app wouldnt open
I uninstalled z4root app, the reinstalled it
Selected temporary root this time
it says running exploit in order to obtain root access but its been like that for about 40 mins.
The circle in the center just keeps spinning.
Should I let it continue? Close it out? Pull the battery?
Thanks for the help
Also what is the simplest was to root my revolution? I have a mac.

Hello my dear friend.
You may redirect this Q to Lenovo A5500 as THAT thread is regarding YOUR tablet, not HERE. Full model name of your tablet is probably either A5500-F (wifi only ver with MT8121 chipset) , A5500-H ( wifi+3g but no call functionality) or A5500-HV ( tablet that you can make call with it)
Be precise which type you have.
This was sent from my Lenovo A850 via XDA mobile app.
I used KingRoot (ver 4.8.2) to root my Lenovo Tab2 A8-50F Tablet.
I used KingRoot as part of a SuperTool. The SuperTool, using a batchfile script, also removed KingRoot after the tablet was rooted and then installed SuperSU.
The SuperTool (April 6, 2016 version) was created by xda's RootJunky for the Amazon Fire 7 5th gen tablet, using KingRoot and SuperSU, but it rooted my Lenovo Tab2 A8-50F Tablet, uninstalled KingRoot and installed SuperSU, all with only a couple of mouse clicks.
Even if you are already rooted with KingRoot, you can use this tool to uninstall KingRoot and install SuperSU. (Just run the tool, let it re-install KingRoot, don't run KingRoot but hit Enter on the SuperTool to then uninstall KingRoot and install SuperSU).
Lenovo Tab2 A8-50F Tablet info:
Model Number: Lenovo TAB 2 A8-50F
Android version: 5.1
Kernel version: 3.10.65
Build number: A8-50F_S000037_151023_ROW
Software version: A8-50F_151023
Hardware version; LenovoPad A8-50F
The SuperTool batch file script rooted the tablet with KingRoot and then uninstalled KingRoot and installed SuperSu.
I have since installed ES File Manager, Titanium Backup, Link2sd on the tablet. Root is totally working. Rooted with only a couple of clicks!
Just enable Developer options on Lenovo Tab2 A8-50F (by tapping tablet Build Number 7 to 10 times [Settings, About Tablet, Build Number (tap 7 to 10 times)]), enable USB debugging on Tablet in the Developer options settings.
Connect Tablet to Windows 10 with a USB data cable (I used the USB 2.0 port). When screen message on the Tablet mentions connections, make sure it is in the MTP mode.
Extract RootJunky's SuperTool Zip file to the Windows 10 desktop.
Run RootJunky's SuperTool (Amazon-Fire-5th-gen.bat) You may have to read the instructions on the pages below and install adb drivers. Pick option #6 Root. Choose Option #3: version 5.1.2. This will run a script that installs KingRoot, allows you to run it manually, and then removes KingRoot and installs SuperSU.
Press enter and KingRoot will be installed on the Tablet from the SuperTool. (approve any messages that appear on Tablet screen) Now don't touch the PC SuperTool until the Tablet is rooted.
Open KingRoot on the Tablet and run it. You may have to run KingRoot several times and the Tablet may reboot. Just keep running KingRoot until the Tablet is rooted. After KingRoot reaches 100%, then press ENTER on the PC.
The SuperTool will now uninstall KingRoot and install SuperSU on the Tablet.
Choose NORMAL SuperSU install on the Tablet when prompted. When SuperSU is installed, reboot the Tablet. Disconnect data cable.
After reboot the Lenovo Tab2 A8-50F Tablet is rooted. There will be a request by SuperSU to upgrade. Approve it. You can now install Titanium Backup, Link2sd, ES File Manager, etc. Your Tablet is rooted. As easy as that. THANKS ROOTJUNKY!!!

Hey devs this is my first thread on XDA. I rooted my hp slate 6 voicetab dual sim using baidu root, now I want to switch to Super SU root manager. I'm familiar with rooting and modding, but I never been switching root manager before, also I don't know Chinese so I can't find the cleanup option. I though I should uninstall baidu root then install super su, but I'm not sure about this.
