I'm brand spanking new to rooting and I'm trying to learn to root my IdeaTab S6000-F. The XDA start guide said to read, read, read but where's the first chapter? Everywhere I go they're already throwing words like apk, exploits, xposed, modules, superuser, su binary, etc. What the hell are those things?
I wouldn't mind having a step-by-step to rooting my tablet to an android 5.1 but I guess you guys don't have my tablet supported? I see Yoga and ThinkPad but they're not compatible with IdeaTab. Yoga has similar specs but there was a post that said rooting via the same way as Yoga failed. ThinkPad have different processors than IdeaTab so I don't think any of those guides help. I did find this link (primehowto.com/root-lenovo-ideatab-s6000f-running-android-4-2-2-jelly-bean/) but there's been a couple of threads saying any outside help threads are fake so I don't know who to trust.
Hi

Hi Guys
I have been following these xda forums for a while now but never registered until now. Please forgive me if this is the wrong section to post this under, any moderators feel free to move if need to, I am fairly new to android, I have an android tablet Asus TF101 and used a guide on here to root. a while back.
After a long wait I have finally gotten a new phone after having an old nokia 5800, well still waiting for it to be delivered, the new Padfone Infinity a86 I have searched and searched for methods to root the device, but can not seem to find any, at least any that seem legitimate does any one know if there is a root method available for it?
Second after looking into and rooting my tablet I would quite like to get into custom roms, but not quite confident in that area yet as I do not have the know how to fix it incase I brick it, Is there any youtube videos/channels anyone can reccomend I can watch. and rom manager is that worth looking at as I did hear some decent things about that.
Thanks in advance for any help you can give.
Kind Regards
Majon.
You could lookover there

Rooting für das New Padfone Infinity A86
But This page is in German language.
The tool itself is in chineese, even. But there is only One Button, so no way to be wrong
thank you for reply, i ended up using kingoapp after i read that the threads were reopen because kingoapp had been working with xda
thanks again

Working root for The New Padfone Infinity a86
For all users, who don't want to use Kingoapp, take a look at this Thread.
hey so ive never rooted an android device and the shield tablet root thread is kinda dead and i didnt understand it. so can anyone give me a really thorough explanation on how to root my tablet, also ive already installed lollipop.
Hi,
I am assuming you men shield tablet, not 2.0 version?
It would be best to ask for help in the thread you are trying to follow.
Is this it?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/shi...t-root-nvidia-shield-tablet-lollipop-t2972316
I will say this.... It should be as simple as following the instructions one step at a time... Exactly as they are written. If you don't understand it, you likely should read up on this some more. Before you do anything. Asking people will just lead to them quoting the same instructions to you.
Doing this stuff to our devices is dangerous if we are lost. If you value your device and don't want to ruin it, I'd read as much as you can from your device section and learn about the things you don't understand.
Just my 2 cents. ?
Good luck!
Hi,
I recently bought an Acer A1-840HD (not the FHD model). As the reviews stated, it does come pre-loaded with a lot of software you can't uninstall. I rooted the device using some instructions in the XDA forums and then uninstalled a bunch of that stuff.
I'd really like to install a clean build of Android 4.4.4 (which is what it ships with) and/or if possible Android Lollipop (maybe not since its still fairly new). While there are a couple of guides to root the device, I couldn't find much in the way of installing a clean OS of any version.
Thanks in advance for any links you can provide!!

Hello, and welcome to XDA! I cannot see any rom for your device here on XDA, but you could try to ask in the discussion forum dedicated to the Acer A1 840HD, here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/t/iconia-tab-8. You will need to register in order to post.
Good luck!
Thank you very much.. I will give that a go!
Hello Guys, First time poster here. I have been scouring the internet for the past few days looking for some solutions, and found that XDA was the best place for android users to congregate and give help and opinions.:highfive:
First off, let me start off by saying that I am a complete android noob when it comes to messing around with rooting and flashing. So pardon if some of the things I say come across as foolish.
My girlfriend bought me what she thought was an original iphone 5s on her recent trip to China where she was teaching English. Little did she know that she got fooled into buying what I now found out is a Goophone i5s MF353zp/a. :crying:Since I want to keep the phone since she did get it for me as a nice gesture, I am trying to get it to run a regular android 4.2.2 jelly bean or better, without all the iphone icons and iphone crap. Also the phone did not come with playstore so I cannot download apps that I would use on a regular basis. Also most of the stuff is in Chinese and I just want to be able to use it as a regular android phone. I read up on roms, and rooting and flashing, but if someone could tell me the best way to go about getting a regular android version on the phone along with google play store, It would be much appreciated.
Thanks for reading my long post. Be Safe. Cheers :good:

Thanks for your reply. Are you sure about this? Because it is currently running 4.2.2 with an ios skin from what I could read on the internet.
Hi, thank you for using XDA Assist. There is not much information about your device on XDA but I did find these which may help:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2449981
http://www.xda-developers.com/goophone-i5-unboxed-the-xda-way-xda-developer-tv/
I'm not that familiar with the Goophone but I believe you'll want to know the what I believe is the processor number, it starts with MTK followed by 4 numbers. Before you do anything see if you can find that and then ask in the threads linked. If all else fails ask in this forum, http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/help
Good luck!

Thanks buddy. I'll check out the links you gave. :good: I might have come across the links before, but I was too scared to try something since I did not want to brick the phone. As for the processor number, I came across MT6572, if that's the one. I can't find anything with MTK. Appreciate your help in this. :fingers-crossed:
Yes, it was my mistake on the MTK. It's MT. I'll close this thread then.
I am trying to install a custom ROM on this old tablet Lenovo B8080 which also goes by a really confusing name Lenovo Yoga Tablet 10 HD+.
However, the few forum posts I find are outdated, or the resources download page are expired, or the tablet is confused with Yoga Tab 2 or 3.
This model cannot even be found on the XDA forums.
In short, does anybody know what customs ROMs are compatible with this weird tablet B8080?
up,
searching also newer rom for this.
Since there are similar models to your device, you can try porting a ROM for it. Porting is basically editing a ROM made for another device to fit your device. Know that it is dangerous, and could potentially brick your tablet. Be careful, and good luck!
