Hello, I have just recently received a second lenovo k3 note phone, the first one I was able to root and install a custom recovery and rom using Jin Lins guide on youtube using king root and flashify without any issues:
The second phone I have received has given me a few problems. At first I tried the same simple guide above, but as I opened the file browser software to install flashify and king root, all the file explorers gave me errors that they couldn't find an application to open the apk files etc.
I then decided to install custom recovery and root the phone through the more traditional super SU guide by root junky on youtube.
Everything worked fine, I rebooted into CWM, I went into the install from zip option, here I was supposed to find the super SU zip that I had placed in the internal storage of my phone, but I didn't find it and CWM kept giving me a can't mount SD card error.
I then decided to try TWRP instead by flashing it img file through command line, and again, when I goto the install section, it lists a bunch of folders but I cannot find the rom and super SU zip files I had uploaded to the internal storage which are visible through file explorer. When I try and back up the device, I recieve various can't mount errors of storage and sd card. Also I actually ended up running the application check root and it seems the phone might already have been rooted.
The native software on the Chinese phone is horrible and I would love to use some faster stock rom, any help would be greatly appreciated.
I have screen shots but XDA won't let me post them so early.

I've gone through every guide I could find for rooting my Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus.
I followed the guide in the official XDA thread, and I even followed this excellent guide posted by ShinTenKen here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1841107&page=2 - But cannot get proper root access.
My GT currently has Clockwork Mod recover, ver. 6.0.0.8. This is the only version that will actually see my internal SD storage to run the zip files I've placed there.
I have the GT7+ root.zip file on my SD root, and I can access it through CWM, and everything appears to go well, but upon reboot, I fire up RootChecker and it says that I do not have root access.
I also tried to run Tegrak overclock and it also confirms that there is no root access.
Any help is appreciated!

Thanks for the reply.
I have followed this guide.
Using the temp CWM, I am unable to browse the SD to launch root.zip.
If I use the current version of CWM that I have permanently on my tab (6.0.8.0) I can follow this guide, access root.zip on my SD and run it, but I still do not get root access. I don't even get errors. Everything looks good, but a check of my root status comes back negative.
Kinda crazy.

With stock ICS 4.0.4, load CWM.zip from recovery. This is the temporary, touch screen enabled CWM. meaning, you can drag the options up and down and tap to select.
select the root.zip to flash, then also flash the p62_cwmr_20111214.zip file.
that's the old 5.0.xx version of CWM. Flash the latest one later, after you have ensure proper root.
BTW, most cwm version point the "internal sd" as your sd card.
good luck.

Thanks for the awesome reply.
I'll give this a try shortly.
I've been through these steps before, and for some reason the touch-based CWM was unable to see the root file structure (only sees a "\clockworkmod" directory)
Would this still work if I placed the root.zip on the micro sd expansion card?

I'm rooted! Here's how:
- I followed your steps using the files you linked above.
- I ran into the same issue of not being able to see the zip files that I placed on the root of my SD card.
- Reconnected my SD storage to my PC and created a directory on the root, then placed root.zip, CWM.zip and the CWMR zip in that directory.
- Upon booting my tab into CWM again, I was able to see the new directory I created, and navigate to the root.zip to run it.
- After running root.zip, I rebooted and ran the Root Checker app (from the Play Store) and it verified that I have root access.
Thanks again for taking the time to respond on such a relatively old topic! If I could "Thank" you 100x I would.

Hello XDA Devs!
I have recently bought a DOOGEE DG310 and i have a problem. I searched on the forum and on google but got no answer.
I installed Complete Linux Installer but I can't start debian or any other OS. It says: Image file not found. I confirm that the file is there with ES File Explorer. The path is mnt/sdcard2/debian/debian.img I also tried other places like storage/sdcard1/debian/debian.img and many others, includind internal and external (sdcard) memory.
Interestingly, I noticed something weird. In terminal emulator, I can browse to the file BUT, when i become root with su command, I can't see the entire sdcard/internal memory. I am running android 4.4.2 rooted (with SuperSU)
Any suggestions?
Please post in [Ask Any Question][Newbie Friendly] so that the right experts may be of help.
I'd think, the sdcard2 in the path is not what it'd expect. Try identifying path through /storage folder to your file.
I fixed it. If you have the same problem, here's how I did it:
First I installed latest version of supersu (2.25 beta in my case). It did work one time but the problem got back in no time Then i found solution: in supersu APP there is an option you must disable for many root apps to work. You must disable separate mounting points!

Hello,
I recently was having major issues with my os., so I wanted to just share some of the information I found that was scattered all over in several different places. First of all, I had TWRP custom recovery and super su installed. I don't know how to do the following process without it. If you have root, GET TWRP NOW!!!!!! You will hate yourself if you do not have a backup.
In twrp app, under install twrp there is no lg tribute. I used the ls-990 when selecting my phone. It worked for me and looks like ls-660 upside down anyways. I picked the build 2.8.5.0.
Ok, so I downloaded the stock rom. Jmurphy posted in tribute development thread for a virgin mobile stock rom on page 125 (cant post links here yet due to newness.)
When my phone went bad, I booted automatically into recovery. I still have no idea how to get in there when all is well, but an internet search might prove useful. I booted in TWRP automatically.
Ok, one thing to mention about TWRP, It makes recovery folders when you do a TWRP backup. Do a backup on the sd. Even if you lost your os. If just to get the folder structure it makes. I went ahead and put my sd card in my laptop chip reader and navigated to the folder that had my recovery. I unpacked the zip files and overwrote the files with the same names on the sd card in the TWRP backup folder that was created when doing a backup. I then put the sd back into phone and did a recovery after wiping my os (while making sure to mount all the directories in TWRP.)
Afterwards lo and behold, I was into my os again. My phone was harassing me to make an update. I listened and updated. Then I got stuck in a TWRP bootloop.
The cure for this bootloop is a script from twrp terminal.
Carefully enter
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/fota
then hit enter
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/misc
then hit enter
this got me out of the bootloop. I hope it will work for you too. Good luck
Is there any way I can get TWRP 2 for my LG tribute?? I'm on 4.4.2 Kit Kat. Boost Mobile. Ty in advanced##???
I'm trying to get twrp for the lg665 Boost mobile. I rooted on dev with king root but I'm not sure it did a complete root. Root Checker basic says it does but the root Explorer in es file manager won't activate and when using a root Explorer in 3c tools I ran into an issue.
I was trying to replace the platform. xml file to fix the lollipop write to sd issue. I renamed it to platform. old and now I can't rename it again or copy a new xml file to the folder
Do you have SuperSU installed? You would need something to give the root permissions to your file explorer. Also, don't forget to allow access on the Developer Settings.
equitube said:

I'd make sure to use the version from the KingRoot site: http://KingRoot.net/wap

Update:
I replaced the Kingroot with a different root method, an app I found but don't recall. I did put super su on. All worked fime, but I sold that phone a few weeks ago

I also have SU super user and TWRP recovery installed, in fact, I've been stuck at TWRP recovery with no OS installed ever since I installed one of the updates on my device. I have an Lg Tribute 1 with an SD card slot. It was (before the OS was wiped) running on v 4.4.2 Kitkat. I've heard that if you have a SD card slot, it should be pretty easy to reinstall your operating system, but so far all the sites I've seen show complicated ways of doing it without using an SD card slot. Do I actually have to bootload my Lg Tribute to install another rom even with an SD card?
By the way, I've already installed the .zip file for Kitkat v 4.4.2, I would really appreciate it if you could show me how to install the operating system using this rom. Thanks!
So.. After a whole week trying to find a succesful way to root this f***ng phone, no success has been found.
I couldn't find this phone's section on XDA so I'm posting this on the general section...
If anyone could give me the link to the section, it would be very appreciated.
This is the phone:
Samsung Galaxy Trend 3 - SM-G3502C
Android Version: 4.3
Build Number: JLS36C.G3502CZCUAOD1
I have tried a number of on android apps, windows software, and even tried rooting manually by adb and linux. But couldn't have a single successful attempt or any signs of progress made...
Can anyone help me out with this phone, the reason I need root is because this is a chinese phone and doesnt have Play Store installed, and I need root access to install Play Store on /system/apps/ and give R+W permission...
Apps tried:
Saferoot
Kingo App Root
iRoot (vRoot/Root Master)
OneClickRoot
TowelRoot
A bunch of .bat rooting scripts
Baidu in-app Rooter
Rooting through ADB (everything was going fine until I had to access Ubuntu's Nautilus, to move the files to /system/ but the device wouldn't mount by MTP on download mode, and I couldn't access the files) link to the guide followed: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2684210
Any help would be truly appreciated, and If there is a way to install play store without the need of root access, or even a good replacement for play store would be really good.
Also, I have 0 experience on custom recovery, so, If any developer out there could create a custom recovery for this phone, I could give them the recovery.img from this phone and modify it to work on this phone. If that's the way it works, idk XD.
P.D. I already opened a thread on XDA-Assist but sorry, I had to move it, I saw that every post on that section had little views and replies and I was worried that this would happened to me on that section to me too. I'm ok if I need to erase it from there but I would like to leave it there for some time if there is any replies.

Hi, still you right~ looks like your are really can't to wait to root your device. Just try KingRoot, we just release new version which can root device from Android 2.x to 5.0. I can't give you promise, but just have a try~ good luck
I have an Acer Iconia One 7 B1-760HD that I just rooted with Kingroot, then useing SuperSU Me I installed SuperSU and replaced Kinguser. When I was looking in the settings I decided to install SuperSU as a system app, because I have multiple accounts on my device, and don't want people to be confused. Once I rebooted, it booted past the "powered by Android" screen, but freezes on the boot animation. I have waited 10 minutes and no boot, tried wiping user data, nothing happened. I really need help with this, as I haven't even had the device 24 hours, and had little to no time for using it.
The system it was running was Lollipop 5.0.1, if that is any use. If anyone has a stock image (.zip) of the /system folder that would be very much appreciated.
(P.S. When running the root integrity check there was 2 files labelled as modified)
Hi,
Thanks for using XDA Assist.
Please check this thread to return to stock: http://forum.xda-developers.com/general/help/acer-iconia-one-7-b1-730hd-qa-t2908845
I guess you can manually remove SuperSU through a adb shell. Remove SuperSU folder into /system/app and the following file into /system/xbin:
• su
• sugote
• sugote-mksh
• supolicy
Good luck.

Thanks for your reply, but the link you provided is for a different Acer Iconia Tablet, and how would I be able to access the ADB shell if a) USB Debugging is disabled and b) No CWM or access to Android past the BootAnimation.

Sorry, I didn't see that it was for the 730HD model.
You don't reach the bootanimation when entering into recovery mode.
There's no dedicated forum for your device so you may ask in the general Android Q&A forum: http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/help
I didn't find an official firmware but some experts or 760HD users will be probably able to help.
