Warning: Your Warranty is void. I am not responsible for any kind of bricks or software failure! Only for MTK6752 ! And not for the same Numbered Tablet. this guide is for the Phone.
The Lenovo S8 7600 Golden Warrior is a very nice phone with some quite good specs. Only cons I could find was that it has none of community and tons of bloatware which is unremovable. Yet!
Lets root it, Guys.
You Need:
Model A7600 Only:
1.The Lenovo Firmware including Chinese TWRP which is provided here by me:
(Thats the only one i could find. If anyone is Brave enough to make an English Version and wants to upload it for this thread fell free to do it.)

TWRP Recovery(Chinese):

2.SP Flash Tools. This will be Needed for flashing the Sock Rom Incl. Recovery. Version 5.13xxxx Minimum Requied.
http://www.mediafire.com/download/zx5m9mp3x5p413h/SP_Flash_Tool_v5.1452.00.zip
3. The Meadiatek Driver(Explains itself i think)
http://d-h.st/1PN
4. The SuperSU.ZIP (Thanks Chainfire, we love you)
https://download.chainfire.eu/696/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46.zip
5.(optional) If you want to use the Google Apps i recommend Downloading the GApps Mini for 5.0 from this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software-hacking/gapps-mini-t3089612
Now Lets get Started:
1. Unzip the Driver Package and Run the Exe. After Installation, restart you Computer. If using Windows 8, disable Signaure Driver Enforcement.
2. Turn Off you device. Open the SP Flash Tools Folder and run Flash_tool.exe as Administrator.
3. Now Unzip the VibeUI Firmware Package. In SP Flashtools klick on Scatter Load. Navigate to the VibeUI Folder and choose the MT6752_Android_scatter.txt.
Edt: Some People Including me had Problems with the Scatter File. However, If getting errors, try creating your own scatter file referring this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2151251
4. Check if every Downloadfile exept the System is Checked, else you will get an error.
5.IMPORTANT: Go to settings, Download and CHECK the DA DL All with Checksum.
6. Klick on Download.
7. NOW the Tricky Part. Remove the Battery. Insert it again. Now leave the Phone Turned off and plug the USB Cable in, but holding the Volume UP button.
8. If you get a Red Bar and a Yellow followed by some grey in SP Flash tools you have done it right. If the Flash was successfully, you will get a green tick mark as passed.
9. Now unplug USB and take the battery out and pop it in again. Boot the Phone. Dont get shocked if it doesn't boot up fast, it usually takes about 6-8 Minutes. Be Patient!
10. If the Phone Boots up successfully, configure it and Connect it as a MTP Device on the Computer.
11. Now Copy the GApps.zip and the SuperSu.Zip to the Root of the Phone Memory.
12. Boot into Recovery (Holding VOL UP AND DOWN while turning the Phone on) and flash the two Zips. Its in Chinese but you will
only need to flash it once. Flash Zip is the Upper Left Button. Choose your GappsZip and use the Back Button to get to the main Screen. Now flash the SuperSA.zip.
13.Reboot. If you dont know how to just take off the battery ( Its quite risky so better try using the Buttons. The Layout is the same as in the English Version)
Finished!Now your Device is Rooted and got the Gapps on it. Download Titanium Backup and remove the Chinese Crap Bloatware. You are now the Master of your Device. I would be really happy about Donations, since It was very Hard to get Hands on these Roms and Recoverys.
INFO: Some People Complained about the lost IMEI, Thank you Soyer88 for the fix! Sorry that I was away for too long, I got my finals.
Soyer88 said:
For those of you who lost the IMEI address on this phone, or ANY other, here is simple guide witch solved my problem:
1. Download this http://www.4shared.com/file/aNRAdrvgba/sn_gen.html , or search sn_gen.exe (Dont worry, the program is not translated that isn't a problem)
2. In the ??IMEI 1 field write your original imei address (behind the battery)
3. Click on ??MP0B_001?? - It will create a file on your desktop named MP0B_001.
4. Copy the file in your phone, Install Root Explorer, send the file in data/nvram/md/NVRAM/NVD_IMEI/ and change the permission of the file (check all boxes)
5. Restart the phone.
Thats it ! This phone is very tricky to flash (or recover) , because of the chipset.. its very rare
I had a lot of problems to fix it, You have to use the right version of Sp flash tool !!!
Here is a russian forum with ALL the custom ROM's (including the official chinese) and support for this phone - http://4pda.ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=657464 it helped me a lot!

Hey
Could someone tell me what to do? I flashed a rom and recovery via Sp Tool (not from this guide) on my S8 A7600. It was a custom rom with removed bloatware I found on a Russian site (google translate).
Now I find that my baseband is unknown and no IMEI's either. I didn't notice this in the beginning though, I did root the phone first and cleaned up even further with Titanium Backup, including the default phone and
contact apps.
Don't know if this could have had an impact or not, but my impression is that it has to do with modem driver, which might be a different one (it seems the custom rom was built from chinese rom). Both scatter files (rom and recovery) does not seem to touch the nvram area, although this mtk flashing stuff is completely new to me.
Have any tips? This chipset is new for IMEI repair, so is unsupported from what I gather.
I flashed another rom I found and the IMEI came back, hurray :laugh:
Good to know its not some permanent lame fault the mtk engineers would have missed (unlikely). Well now back to customizing romz, the default lenovo rom is far from what I consider usable.

Actually I think I said that wrong. I am now using this rom: VIBEUI_V2.5_ _USR_ST1524_5.1460.1_1506111858_MP6V3_CU_CN_otafull
This is the latest official stock rom directly from Lenovo. I was referring to one of the rom's that's flashed by those shabby vendors, full of adware, malware and viruses.
I was not aware of this situation as this is my first china phone.
To Op: No I did not use your Rom. I've tried a few others and the *Real* stock ota rom from lenovo was the best for me, also the latest stable build. I found it here btw: lenovo-forums.ru(can't post full link)
Also I'm looking for this: A7600_TWRP2.8.7.0_2015-07-18.7z <--- This is the only recovery I've found that has english language. It was posted on 4pda.ru but link is down. Also seen it on those chinese sites, but requires account to download.

My Suggestion would be: Download and try my Rom and Recovery. Then download SuperSu/.Zip and try to flash it via Chinese TWRP which i am providing. you can locate the buttons from any other TWRP, even from other phones. If done, you could et root uininstaller and remove the crappy bloatware like i did. then install gapps

I already have chinese TWRP, and I'm rooted. The rom I'm using also does not have any insidious bloatware, except a few chinese apps that don't even require root to remove. Besides I seem to remember the system.img file in your rom was corrupt, tried to download several times.
Just saw this at 4pda.ru:

Will upload the File again, sorry to hear that.
where do you download the latest firmware?this phone doesn t have ota?no need to use flash tool if it s the case..you can root it easily with an apk
so i don t understand you manip
Mine was really hard to root, none of Kinroot or any other tool/app worked.
so could you say use what did you use for rooting it?
i just to order one so i would like to erase all chinese apk
are you happy with this phone?
Like I said, the Rom provided here is Pre Rooted and has TWRP included. With twrp you can root any rom, but seems like the file is corrupt so ill have to upload it again as soon as i get home

New full firmware package available: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B5Lqys5p5m_YU2xxZ3d4T0V5WjA
VIBEUI_V2.5_1532_5.1797.1_ST_A7600_CU
I got this as ota update yesterday, on official lenovo rom. Btw, this needs to be flashed with stock recovery (rename file as "update.zip")
Actually, you can flash it with TWRP/custom recovery, just tried it
Also, you should flash Gapps after the initial boot and setup, or it may cause problems.
Here is also the TWRP 2.8.7.0 recovery with English language: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B5Lqys5p5m_YR0VfSXFPZ0RIZEk
The new firmware is good. So far I've noticed it has solved a big bug with launcher. Previously I could not use widgets with 3rd party launcher (settings fc), now I can.
The launcher bug is still present, but not with Google Now Launcher when flashed with gapps.
PS: Is it ok for me to post this here? Perhaps better to make new thread?
Aosp rom
I found what seems to be a recent AOSP based rom: A7600-ZP-15.08.06.zip
Though only so far seen it on Chinese sites, like this: http://pan.baidu.com/wap/link?uk=1393301215&shareid=1110457716&third=0
Don't think I will bother getting account for that, but just letting you know.
Man thank you! If you could download this and pack it in one zip, upload it on your google drive and test it again we could privide yours! Because i sold mine so i cajt test it. Else im still ready to upload it

Hello. This Alcatel Pixi 3 tablet was meant as a gift add-on to an Orange (PL) LG G4c / Spirit LTE phone.
What is really weird is that there is no such model on Alcatel's website. It seems that this version was very unpopular.
It came with Lollipop 5.0.1 onboard. On boot screen it says ALCATEL onetouch Pixi3(8). on the back there is a sticker with Model: 8070 and some other numbers, but the thing is:
I was simply being an impatient one and i wanted to have this white boy rooted so i installed newest KingRoot. And it worked!
But then I've seen there's an app that does the magic and replaces kinguser with supersu. And it was called 'SuperSU Me', kind of.
Unfortunately it must have been a very old version (i tried the newest on my phone and it comes in two stages so it's different). After using it i don't remember if I ran su binary update but i think i did and then reboot. And of course it all went wrong after that.
It was stuck at the Alcatel boot animation, repeating itself endlessly. And instead of looking for solution i did something else. I went to the bootloader mode (vol+ and power) which lets you go into recovery or fastboot and i went to recovery. Where it actually says Android system recovery <3e> with additional line saying LRX21M and options apply update from ADB, sdcard, cache and some others.
So here's what I did: at first I wiped cache partition and then I wiped data ('wipe data/factory reset'). And this is mess.
There is no Alcatel animation, no more. Now it won't go further than this boot screen and it would just display this ALCATEL onetouch Pixi3(8) logo until it runs out of battery power. So i guess, that's my first bricked device for being naughty and too greedy to have some rooted stuff happening.
Please, is there any hope? Help?
Same Problem with Alcatel Pixi 3 (10) Model:8079!!!!
You might be able to restore ROM using Mobile upgrade tool from Alcatel. Or you can flash it with phone flash tool.
Hi @dam85 I found and downloaded "Mobile Upgrade S" tool from Alcatel's server directly (v4.2.8) but I cannot make the tool detect this Pixi 8070 model. The main Alcatel site doesn't have this model, so I got their tool from the Pixi 3 (8) 3G page. However, not sure what is missing as there seems to be a driver needed for the Alcatel tool to detect the table. Any idea? This 8070 model apparently uses quad-core MediaTek MT8127 processor.
I have purchased this device from a local shop, not via operator. Model is "TCL" and "8070" in the menus.
@Bethain: I had a friend who had to wipe and re-install the ROM on an Alcatel D5 phone, due to some boot loop like yours; and he was able to do that using the Alcatel Upgrade tool. Please try this and let us know how you did it and more importantly, which drivers you used on Windows! Thanks and good luck.

It's true that this model is buried for some weird reason. You can't find anything specific for this model (pixi 3 (8) wifi), only for the 3g edition that is totally different hardware if I remember correctly.
I can suggest another option. I've managed to read back the stock rom from mine. I could send it to you and you can try to flash it with SP flash tool. If you're interested, pm me and I'll guide you.
Hi @dam85 thank you for posting back, it's great to hear that someone managed to work on this.
For the sake of information with others, can you kindly share info on the tools, versions (and if not asking too much, links here in XDA) that you used to extract the ROM? There's tonns of crap on the internet and some confusing driver versions found here, too...
I was battling with MtkDroid Tools 2.5.3 but I think I've installed the wrong VCOM driver, not sure if it supports the device (MT8127 processor) or perhaps I am doing something wrong.
The official Alcatel Mobile Upgrade S (v4.2.8 that I've installed) has a generic "One Touch Pixi 8" entry as you can see in the screen shot but I get some error when trying to connect my device. This is supposed to allow a download of an image to re-flash Alcatel devices... Perhaps this tool isn't compatible, as you say.
I have contacted Alcatel asking for support....
I haven't rooted nor I want to mess with that. Just wanted to make a safe backup of the current ROM. When I entered (official) the Recovery menu of the device (POWER + VOLup) there wasn't any entry in the options to "dump" the ROM on the SD, unfortunately.

I'll post a mini guide later on how I did it. Also, I'd like to see a user with a bricked pixi to try and flash back the ROM to see if it can be revived!

Just to make it clear. There is no way to dumb the rom with droid tools or sp flash tool without root. The most easy and safe way to root this tablet is with Kingroot v4.5. It's safe to use because there is an option for unroot inside the app (I've done it several times, it works flawlessly).
I am having the same exact issue and followed the same steps as you to get into this mess! Only difference is i am on a onetouch Pixi 7 i got from tmobile for free. Were you ever able to flash it back to stock and can you tell me how you did it if you were successful?

Hi @waldosdad I suggest you try obtaining the official Alcatel Mobile Upgrade S software from their site, this will hopefully download and restore your device. Please kindly post details on your model, CPU, which drivers you eventually managed to make work, on which Windows, etc.

There's no ROM available for flashing except whatever backups private people do... Haven't found custom recovery either... I personally haven't rooted my Pixi 3 (8) to avoid that exact issue...
IMPORTANT EDIT:
I was browsing through the downloads section of Alcatel One Touch and found that for some reason, they have released more versions of the same "Mobile Upgrade S" for some other devices, rather than keeping a unified version across all platforms/tablets/products.
For example, found versions v4.3.0, or v4.4.1 in other devices, which could imply "newer" database or detection, inside Alcatel Mobile Upgrade S. As @dam85 told me, there may need to be a newer version of this proggie to detect Pixi 3 (8) -- will try it soon...
Hi guys i have the same tablet but i'm having problems rooting it. Tried many differnet apk's with no luck. @dam85 how you managed to root it?

Καλησπέρα @spithash, I suggest you try backing up your ROM now that you've rooted it, as @dam85 did already, as there's no ROM available for flashing back in case of bricking... I personally haven't rooted yet. If you manage to install proper Windows drivers etc. please let us know what you used i.e. SP Flash Tool, Mtk Droid Tools etc. Thanks!

You can flash it with SP flash tool. Read all my post first and then act.
Open the app, hit "scatter-loading" button, choose your droid tool-creater scatter file with the name of the cpu mt8127 (make sure you have the exctracted rom backup with it), then wait a few secs till the app done loading the files, check if the check boxes are checked and loaded with the appropriate image files as shown in the image.
Leave any unchecked box as is. Make sure to rename factory_NONmodified_recovery.img to recovery.img before doing the above process, or else the program won't load it automatically.
Then, press the green download arrow and connect the device switched off and the process will start automatically.
I can't guarantee the success of the process because I haven't try it yet, but I know that this process is correct for this type of devices.
So, you can take the risk if you want (if it's bricked already, you won't have anything to lose I guess) and you can give as feedback.

When i open yours is the same as mine.
Hello! This is just a port from the recovery located here so all the credit goes to the original dev; I'm just porting his work to this device.
As a port, the bugs are the same (USB is also broken here, I'm working to fix it).
Note: this recovery reports the device to be a GT-S5360 just for testing purposes as they're both mostly compatible (just need to fix the kernel side).
PLEASE DON'T FLASH S5360 ROMs WITH THIS UNLESS YOU'RE ALSO DEVELOPING (or want to flash the stock rom after that), THEY'LL NOT WORK PROPERLY (no touch and other things)
This Y variant has almost no development, so I want to do something about it
For now, this TWRP must be flashed with Odin or Heimdall on top of the stock ROM (okay, not that there is another option lol) but IT'S MANDATORY TO RE-PARTITION using the instructions here, else the partition won't fit and then won't flash.
After flashing, just boot the phone in recovery by keeping Volume up and home & releasing the power key after it vibrates, so you'll enter TWRP.

F.A.Q.
Galaxy Y TV? Does that exist?
Yes, the Y TV (S5367) is a variant of the Galaxy Y capable of Digital TV (it also has an integrated antenna!). This variant was only sold on Latin America so almost nobody knows it.
Can I use this on my non-TV variant?
No, as this version has some differences with any other Y version (camera, display, touch and Wi-Fi/BT AFAIK).
Genius, if there's no ROM to flash? :silly:
I'm working on something, but first I need a working recovery and TWRP is pore comfortable to use and develop
Also you can root and test your own things with a dedicated recovery!
How did you port this?
That was pretty easy: just used Carliv Image Kitchen to unpack both stock and TWRP boot.img, replaced the TWRP img kernel with the stock one and that was all!

Hello! This is just a port from the recovery located here so all the credit goes to the original dev; I'm just porting his work to this device.
As a port, the bugs are the same (USB is also broken here, I'm working to fix it).
Note: this recovery reports the device to be a GT-S5360 just for testing purposes as they're both mostly compatible (just need to fix the kernel side).
PLEASE DON'T FLASH S5360 ROMs WITH THIS UNLESS YOU'RE ALSO DEVELOPING (or want to flash the stock rom after that), THEY'LL NOT WORK PROPERLY (no touch and other things)
This Y variant has almost no development, so I want to do something about it
For now, this TWRP must be flashed with Odin or Heimdall on top of the stock ROM (okay, not that there is another option lol) but IT'S MANDATORY TO RE-PARTITION using the instructions here, else the partition won't fit and then won't flash.
After flashing, just boot the phone in recovery by keeping Volume up and home & releasing the power key after it vibrates, so you'll enter TWRP.

Damn there's a lot of Y ?

Hi folks!
Recently I've bought a p40 pro clone that is driving me crazy.
I can't barely use it as all the tweaks to make it look like a better phone are provoking some apps to fail. The about phone screen says that is a p40pro (without spaces), the CPU is a MT6799 when in reality is a MT6580, 12Gb of RAM but is 1Gb, Android 10.1 but it's 5.1, hahaha, it can't be more fake, but no regrets, I have what I've paid for!!!.
My initial idea with this crappy thing was to upgrade the android version to 6.x, but everything is pretty tough, at least with my little knowledge in custom roms, kernel etc.
First of all I'm not able to install TWRP on it. I can't find or make a working version:
I thought that this model was pretty similar and I tried with the TWRP included on the thread about a p40pro+, but the touchscreen after entering recovery was somehow inverted and seemed laggy: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/alps-clone-p40-pro-wish-com.4211591/
With the one at https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/unknown-china-device-p40-pro.4200617/post-85249887 it don't work too.
Finally I came to this thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...ediatek-mt67xx-64bit-new-32bit-phone.3681861/ and I managed to make a custom TWRP which initially seemed to work (the touchscreen was fine) but the sd card data was unavailable, I was like missing but if I reboot the mobile it properly boot. Maybe because I choose an incompatible model to port from.
So, I'm running out of ideas, please can someone give me a hand on that super ultra fake thing?
Here is the full rom dump, preloader and recovery:
https://mega.nz/file/2M80XY7C#0kw7qVQ5498tDrt4UdUNq49lANIO3RvS73ct6DoCPO0
I'll really appreciate any suggestion on getting a new rom for this phone, and obviously how to get twrp on it, root, and if possible a rom which makes this fakephone at least useable.
Zillions of thanks in advance!!! Take care!

Finally I managed to use the lineageos rom following your instructions and files.
It works like a charm, the overall experience with this crappy mobile is way better than using the stock rom.
Thank you a lot!

you need 3 files: scatter.txt , your preloader and TWRP.img (rename it to recovery.img) .... With SPflashtool , flash the recovery in mode Download only ,!
Put only one tick on recovery( untick preloader). Switch off your phone and connect to PC.... then load to recovery TWRP
Disclaimer this is my first time posting here so pls pardon me I don't know how to post and I promise to edit this post if there is something wrong.
Information about device is in the attached pictures.
What I am Requesting:
Can someone teach me how to install Android 8(Oreo) Go Edition on my tablet please.
Why am I asking help and not researching and do it myself:
Because it is a unknown brand so I dont have any references and I very scared of bricking the device I spent my college savings on.
Back Story:
Bought a cheap tablet from China which turned out to be fake in many ways than one. Its running on android 5.1. It has a ton of bloatware just to keep up the scam of being android 11. Instead of going through the hassle of returning product I decided to just make it better and install Android 8(Oreo) Go Edition to get some new features and remove all the bloatware while I am at it.
What I know about the device:
(Additional information, Not including IMEI, is in the attached pictures.)
It uses a octa core MT6592 32 bit CPU Android 5.1
Why Oreo Go:
Go is a stripped down version of android and since the tablet is kinda *JUNK* I figured its perfect to use Go edition on it.
Why Oreo, because I couldn't find a 32 bit version of android 9 to 12 Go. I assume bit version is important
What is the source of the Android Oreo Go rom:
Its the Wiko Y50, because it seemed close enough in specs and I was able to download the .pac file and extracted the boot.img file from it.

In my opinion, it is a waste of time and health for such an experiment. You must accept the failure of buying a fake device. This will be your experience for the future.

I don't mind wasting my time. I am in college learning technical skills are useful. I like to learn the skill for the future. And I honestly almost had this covered using tutorials but I got stuck at finding my original stock rom and fastboot loader rom for this specific device.
Can I use this?
How to Go Back to Stock Android From a Custom ROM: 3 Ways
Want to remove a custom ROM and get your Android phone back to its original state? This is the easiest way to get your phone back to stock.
www.makeuseof.com
I got the stock rom of the Wiko Y50 which is the Wiko Y50's boot.img file, couldnt I simply switch out my original stock rom from this instruction to that of the Wiko Y50's?
Im not trying to download a non custom firmware like lineage so wouldnt it just work if I used the method of flashing stock rom when the firmware I want to to install is a stock rom of another phone?
First you should:
1. make root (if possible) to make a full backup of all partitions and learn about partition organization.
2. learn how to restore the system from the backup done.

Thanks used your advice. Heres an update
I was able to root using kingroot it was a pain looking for the real legit one.
next followed this vid to install twrp
it ruined my recovery mode. well the tablet still works but recovery is dead.
I followed it because the title mentioned same kernel and same cpu but it was a scam. the part where he was using twrp was fake...
well regardless tablet is rooted and still works just need to find a way to repair recovery mode.
next i downloaded official twrp recovery from playstore. saving boot keeps failing any advice?
I was thinking of using the recovery.img of the symphony h300.
because same cpu, kernel, and android version.
i found a source here

Somewhere on the XDA forum I saw a thread about how to make TWRP yourself based on your own boot.img.
Other than that, checking if TWRP is working is done via adb. Your screen may show the result of not working properly in graphics mode.
[GUIDE]Porting TWRP without source
Yes, I know XDA is filled with such guides. But you can only port a TWRP if you implement parts of all the guides. This guide is a summation of all those guides. NOTE: I would be using AIK-Linux in this tutorial, since I don't recommend Windows...
