I give up. Click on the recovery howto in my signature and flash custom recovery. After that, flash a rooted ROM. If you dislike this advice, then kindly search harder. People generally get irritated when then are answering the same questions 10 times a day because people are too lazy.
superoneclick (gingerbreak exploit) work for me on stock V20c, check this thread:

Hi guys, regarding the problem about rooting the original GB, it can be done, and it's not that complicated.
First of all there are a couple of things that you have to consider before starting to root.
1. Be sure that you have installed the original V20G GB ROM.
2. if you have it installed and tried different methods to root on it do a factory reset before trying this one.
3. Be absolutely sure that you have all the drives installed when working with the phone in USB debugging mode, if not install them.
4. Download SuperOneClickv1.9.5-ShortFuse, after download extract the files into a folder with the same name as the archive.
5. After you extracted the files, go to C:\Windows\System32 and copy the cmd.exe to the folder where you extracted the files, in my case C:\Users\myuser\Desktop\SuperOneClickv1.9.5-ShortFuse\ADB.
6. Connect the phone to the PC with Debugging mode (Enter the phone settings menu, to the Development and tick the USB debugging mode)
7. right click on cmd.exe from the ADB folder, Run as administrator, than write:
adb devices (after this command you should see your device id)
adb shell
echo 1 > /data/local/lge_adb.conf,
Do not close the window, live it like that.
8. Start SuperOneClick.exe, leave the settings to the SuperOneClick as they are when it opens, click on ROOT and wait, it will say Starting ADB server..., than it will do it's job and than it will appear Waiting for device... it will say ok and that if it freezes while running psneuter do the following:
a. Turn USB Debugging OFF wait until it will appear in the window again Starting ADB server..., after that,
b. Turn USB Debugging ON, and after this trick it will start rooting.
This is the method that i did twice and it worked like a charm.
After this it will ask you to reboot the phone, DO NOT FORGET, and after the reboot click on the SuperUser icon in the phone's menu. it will aks you if you allow or deny it's access. click allow. After this you must connect to the internet via Wireless or a apn, click on the superuser icon again if you exit it, go to settings, scroll down and you will see Su Binary v.XXXX, click on that to update it, than go to market and search the super user app and update it. Also update busybox. After this you have root access and you can install a custom recovery. Also you can install your preferred Kernel if you don't like the stock one.
If you do not get the Allow Deny message the root was not completed successfully. do a factory reset and try again the same steps.
see images attached as proof.
Well, I installed V20 C via doktornotor method but couldn root it by flashing the signed su binary via recovery.
So I tried the above mentioned method and it worked. But every time the Superuser Force closes and its too buggy.. Any solutions. ?
Yes, same here, i tried doktornotor's method both 20C and 20G and didnt work, this Super1click works but su force closes everytime Any ideeas??
====================EDIT============================
I managed to root gingerbread with doktornotor's method V20g
Just use his image, BUT dont use su-2.3.6.3-cd-signed.zip
Download from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1110733 su-2.3.6.2-efgh-signed.zip and install it wia clockworkmod recovery zip installer and works like a charm
omfg! plz make Zroot for 2.3.3

Should I type the comma at the end on cmd? Can you please explain what exactly the above command does? Does it create the above file on the above filepath on device? If I typed both
echo 1 > /data/local/lge_adb.conf
and
echo 1 > /data/local/lge_adb.conf,
should I erase one of these files?
Without comma.

Hi,
Actually I want root my LG Optimus One .I have INDIA phone with official V20c Rom. Can anybody help me how to root my phone without any risk of bricking it. I have also read many thread about rooting 2.3.3 through super one click {like this one h**p://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1200167} but people were saying something about force close errors... So can anybody provide me a successful and error free method of rooting it. and Please also share me the method to unroot it.
Thanks in advance.
I've read in a topic that I can't find, that after rooting usb debugging should always be on and disabling it could cause problems. I can't remember what kind of problems. Is that true? Should I keep it enabled?
Ok im pretty sure my phone is rooted coz it said in the superuser log root-allowed so yes thnx for helping me root my phone, now install custom recovery bla blah and then rom install
Which Drivers? From where?
[QUOTE=
3. Be absolutely sure that you have all the drives installed when working with the phone in USB debugging mode, if not install them.
Thanks for the post. But i want to know which drivers? People like me do not know about this so please help. I can connect my phone via usb as i downloaded lg support tool and it installed the driver or drivers. Is that enough?
Awaiting response desperately as i am eager to root now, thanks a lot.
I've just rooted my Nexus 5 but when I open apps like Superuser it displays the following issues (see attached files). I verified my root status with the Root Checker App as well and it shows roughly the same problem. I've have attached some screenshots. I'm sorry but my language is Italian.
How did you root it ?
Perhaps you missed something

I hate Superuser personaly and would advice you to unroot and uninstall the superuser app and flash the superSU.zip 1.94 in recovery. Link http://download.chainfire.eu/supersu.

I don't like at all that in stock android you have only a certain number of toggles, so I've searched the web in order to find a way to add more of them. I've found first the Cyanogenmod, then the Xposed Framework. I've read that I have to root my device to do that, so I've searched the web again in order to find the easiest way to root it without strange methods. I've found a post in the CM forum which explained to me how to root my Nexus 5 with terminal commands, so I followed it.
I can't post links yet, so here's the content of the CM forum page:
Configure your computer for fastboot.
Enable USB debugging on the device.
Connect the device to the computer through USB.
From a terminal on a computer, type the following to boot the device into fastboot mode:
$ adb reboot bootloader
Once the device is in fastboot mode, verify your PC sees the device by typing fastboot devices
If you don't see your device serial number, and instead see "<waiting for device>", fastboot is not configured properly on your machine. See fastboot documentation for more info.
If you see "no permissions fastboot", try running fastboot as root.
From the same terminal, type the following command to unlock the bootloader:
$ fastboot oem unlock
A disclaimer will display on the device that must be accepted. Use the volume keys to cycle through the options. Pressing the power button should confirm your selection.
If the device doesn't automatically reboot, reboot it from the menu. It should now be unlocked. You can confirm this is the case if you see an unlocked icon at the bottom of the Google boot screen during reboots.
Since the device resets completely, you will need to re-enable USB debugging on the device to continue.
This is my first post here, i never registered and posted so far because im aware that my english sucks and my skill are really poor.
But now this is my last chance to recover my new tablet (2 days lifetime!)
I will try to explain the problem in the best way possible.
I have a Chuwi vi8 dual boot, and i needed root access to fix the sd card write restriction of 4.4.
After some search i was able to root it. Then i screwed up when i edited the build.prop to change the dpi from 160 to 200. I have touched the permission not knowing it would screw up the boot.
Now my chuwi is stuck on the android boot logo.
Im able to enter the recovery mode (power + volume -)
In the recovery menu (stock recovery menu) i have the following option:
reboot droidboot
reboot
recovery
power off
and this message in the lower part of the screen:
FASTBOOT INIT...
E:installer device ignored
E:failed to mount device '/dev/block/sda1 as installer partition using fs_type..
E:installed device ignored
E:installed device ignored
E:No valid installer medium found
FASTBOOT CMD waiting...
Then i enter recovery:
reboot system now:
apply update from ADB
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache partition
apply update from internal storage
offcourse wiping everything doesnt solve the problem as the issue is in build.prop
then i try to use ADB:
i have the driver of this device installed in windows, im sure that USB debug was on on the device.
I tested various version of ADB from my pc but no one was able to let me use the vairous command (pull,push etc etc)
Im only able to "ADB devices" and see the name of the device + sideload, any other command will result in error: closed
Im trying to find someone whit a working build.prop, but while doing that i really like to try to pull,edit and push back mine.
I dont even know if there is a way to manual boot windows and try to do something from that side because i dont know if there is a manual way to boot into that.
Any help is appreciated, and again please forgive me if my first post is like this.
Thank you
Im going to reply to my own post
i abandoned the ADB method and went whit another strategy.
I was able to boot windows bios, change boot priority back to windows.
From windows i installed a tool to mount and browse android partition. Edited back build.prop.
Quick reboot and back in android!
Lesson learned. Thank you anyway and please forgive me for this post!

Hi,
Sorry for bothering, I have the same tablet, and would like to root it. Can you help me in this with a link to the right method or something? The reason is the same, to use the sdcard normally, and maybe ntfs.
Thank you in advance!

Changing DPI is for display scaling, but on your device hard editing the build.prop makes the device not booting!
Make sure to enable "USB debugging" before you try to root your device.
If Kingo still fails, you can try iROOT (former VRoot)

Make sure that both partitions are "primary" 1. Partition "fat32" 2. Partition ext4 (MUST BE PRIMARY NOT LOGICAL!!!)
Aha... Finally found a place to discuss this chuwi vi8, a super cheap but amazing tablet LOL ?
Ok this is what've done to my vi8 tablet [emoji111]
A. Root
1. Install pdanet+ from pdanet.co, when it asking to choose phone manufacturer
choose "Others" then it will waiting your tablet to connect
2. Before you connect the tablet make sure that you have the developer menu enabled so you can make usb debugging mode enabled, then connect your tablet.. Wait until the device installation finish, then it will asking to choose after installation... Choose usb mode ignore other option then press finish, then you'll see that your device connected the taskbar
3. Install KingoRoot, launch it, wait until the KingoRoot appear on the tablet, on the computer choose remove root, wait till it succeeded
4. Install iRoot (VRoot), launch it, then root it... On the tablet you'll see a blue lion logo written Superuser
5. If you don't mind with Chinese root app then rooting finish on step 4, but if you do you can replace the root using another root app, in my case I use SuperSU from chainfire.
B. Xposed Framework
1. Download/Install Terminal Emulator from play store
2. Download/Install Root Explorer from anywhere LOL ?
3. Download/install Xposed Framework 2.6.1, install the framework but don't reboot
4. With root explorer go to /system/bin/ rename app_process to app_process.xposed-bak, then rename rename app_process.orig to app_process
5. Open Terminal Emulator
type "su" without quote then execute
type "echo 0x98 > /data/data/de.robv.android.xposed.installer/conf/jit_reset_offset" without quote then execute
type "chmod 664 /data/data/de.robv.android.xposed.installer/conf/jit_reset_offset" without quote then execute
6. Reinstall the framework then reboot
C. Link2SD
1. Prepare the micro SD partition (I'm using mini tool partition), 1st Partition is FAT32 (Primary), 2nd Partition is ext4 (Primary and make it active)
2. Download/Install Link2SD from play store
3. Choose ext4 wait until it success and ask for reboot, then reboot.

Hi, looking at the above and had a question. That seems like a longer process than on "normal" devices, ie the Terminal Emulator steps. What is the purpose of those steps? Does this mean I will have to repeat this any time I upgrade Xposed? I am curious as to why it differs from a normal install on a rooted device.

I've just bought Lenovo A5000. It's a new device. So i dont know how to root it. Are there any apps to handle this problem? i cant stand to not root my device. i cant make it easy to use.
What about "framaroot"? Can this app do it?

I'm not sure whether or not Framaroot is effective. But I am sure that a good way to root a device is to unlock your bootloader and use ODIN. There are various instructions on how to install it on different devices.
Just got mine too. Love this phone! I can get 24 hours of usage in one full charge! Unfortunately still no tutorials on rooting this device
yes ! still waiting for the root tools ...
This site says it's just done via app? Not sure how legit this is. http://www.how-to-root.club/2015/04/lenovo-a5000-7167.html

Hi, now i've root my device Lenovo A5000.
I've used this tool with my pc. Success 100%.

use the pc to root your device!
after root success, use CH Play to install SupperSU
Good luck!
sucesfull root
Today managed to sucesfully root the phone so no more ads or camera shutter sounds.
You need to use kingroot apk (framaroot didn't worked). I know, it is chinese stuff filled with all sort of additional apps that are installed during rooting process but you have to bear with them for a few minutes.
I downloaded it from here: arykblog.info/2015/04/how-to-root-lenovo-a5000.___html (remove the ___ from link)
After installing the kingroot app and rooting the phone with it, I followed this tutorial
w0lfdroid.com/2015/05/How-to-Remove-Replace-KingUser-KingRoot-with-SuperSU.___html (remove the ___ from link)
you have to extract the Replace_Kingroot_With_SuperSU.zip into your "\sdcard" folder (when browsing phone in windows explorer, you are by default in \sdcard folder)
It will look like this \sdcard\mrw\root.sh
Use the mentioned console app on your android
First start root shell by calling "su"
Then you have to make system read-write, by calling "mount -o remount,rw /system"
Then enter that mrw folder "cd \sdcard\mrw" and run "sh root.sh"
After a few seconds it should start SuperUser app and it will prompt you to replace binaries, use the "normal" way.
After success, reboot the phone and SuperSU should be still working and no kingroot app present.
(reboot also restores mount status of system folder)
PS: make sure you do not have installed the SuperUser app before using this process
PSS: make sure you place the mrw folder is in correct directory and that you succeed in one run, or you have to repeat it again from installing kingroot
Important note: DO NOT INSTALL FIRMWARE UPDATE WITH ROOT. You will brick the phone, tested :crying:
If you brick the phone, you have to flash official ROM.
You will have to install latest SP Flash Tool and drivers for your phone bootloader (that unknown device which appears for a few seconds after connecting you turned off phone to PC)
androidxda.com/smart-phone-flash-tool
mediafire.com/download/g4dn7yh54savq90/Lenovo_A5000_usb_driver.rar
Then download from a russian site the official ROM (warning, it contains additional russian apps that you will have to remove)
Can't post the links, so google "A5000_S025_150121_ROW" and look for lenovo-forums.ru and bymobyle.by (1+GB files)
Then extract the ROM somewhere, open flash tool, click on scatter loading and find the "MT6582_Android_scatter.txt", open it and click Download.
Now connect your phone when turned off via USB and it should flash the ROM. Afterwards your phone should be able to start.
PS: It takes quite a while after the flash to start.
I hope you find this tutorial useful.
There is a very easy and simple way to root your lenovo a5000 By using king root app See here How
what is CH?

i have a carrier-modified lenovo a5000 and i want to return it to stock. which files should i check on spflash tool to make it stock?

After i have flashed it back to stock version, do i need to reinstall custom recovery or is it still bootable?
Root & TWRP Lenovo Tab 2 A8-50F (MT8161)
Ok so this is a in depth tutorial on obtaining root and installing twrp for the device in the title. Anything in "quotes" eg, type in cmd "adb devices" quotes should be ignored. This guide is for those who know what root is and know there way around windows and Linux. If you did something wrong i am not liable and maybe you should have read things before trying.
EDIT: for those of you who want to root in one or two clicks i have added support for this device in the ZEUS TOOLKIT wich will root without installing custom recovery.. LINK >> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2644166
REQUIREMENTS/DOWNLOADS:
-Windows PC & Linux (Ubuntu. virtual box would be fine although i have my pc dual booting both os's)
-Driver Signing Disabled on Windows 7 and above
-Device Drivers
-SpFlash Tool (including scatter file)
-Adb Tools
-TWRP + SuperSU Files
-Insecure Boot.img
LINK FOR ALL REQUIRED FILES >> DOWNLOAD << DOWNLAOAD AND EXTRACT TO DESKTOP
Downlaod all of the above and extract/move everything to a folder which for this guide i will assume will be called ROOT on your DESKTOP
SOME READING:
The Lenovo Tab 2 A8-50F is a rather locked down device with the ability to reflash the stock rom on every reboot if required. In this guide you can only do things in a specific order to be able to get it rooted and stop the stock recovery reflashing. It took me a few times of (soft)bricking my device before i could get it sorted to a stable rooted system with twrp installed. TWRP recovery was not built from source by me personally (it was obtained from a russian website) although i have had to modify the TWRP image as it was boot looping but its sorted and working now. So roughly this is how things are going to go, we will use SpFlash tool to readback the system partition, then use linux to modify a file in the system.img the use SpFlashtool to refalsh the modified system.img. Then we are going to unlock the bootloader and then flash an insecure boot.img along with twrp and then root using chainfire's latest binarys.
THE GUIDE:
STEP 1 - installing the drivers
For this i will assume you you have already got adb driver installed if not please google it i personally used googles generic adb driver.
Please make sure you have disabled driver signing for windows "GO HERE". Now open device manager and right click on your pc's name at the top of the list and select add legacy hardware > click next > check "install the hardaware that i manually select from a list (advance)" and click next > highlight "show all devices" and click next > click "have Disk" > click "browse" > browse to the desktop\root\MTK Drivers all windows\ and choose the folder to match your windows installation and then choose the 32bit or 64bit driver file depending on your windows install > click open > click ok > highlight "MTK USB PORT" > click next > click next > if a warning pops up click install anyway > click finish. Your drivers are now installed for spflash tool to recognise your device.
STEP 2 - backing up system partition
Make sure your device is truned off and disconnected from your computer. Open SPFlash Tool form "Desktop\ROOT\SPFlash_tool\flash_tool.exe" > click "scatter-loading button > browse to "Desktop\Root\ and open MT6735_Android_scatter.txt > click the readback tab > click add > double click the entry which is now listed >browse to "Desktop\Root" and in the filename box type "system.img" > click save > check "HEX" > for region select EMMC_USER > for start address type "0xb000000" > for length type "0x74000000" > click ok > click readback. now with your device turned off connect the usb and the SPFlash tool will begin to backup your system partition to "Desktop\Root\system.img" wait until its finished and continue to the next step.
STEP 3 - editing the system.img
Now we have the system.img transfer it via usb (or whatever means) to your ubuntu machine place system.img in your ~/Home/ folder eg. ~/Home/System.img now open a terminal by pressing CTRL + T > type "mkdir output" press enter > now type "sudo mount -t ext4 -o loop system.img output/" press enter > type your sudo password > press enter > type " cd output" press enter > type "sudo mv recovery-from-boot.p recovery-from-boot.bak" press enter > type "cd" press enter > type "sudo umount output/" press enter. The system.img has now been modified and can be transfered back to windows. Goto next step.
STEP 4 - unlocking bootloader
With device booted to android and usb debugging enabled open cmd prompt and type "cd C:\Users\robert\Desktop\ROOT\adb" > (replace "robert" with your username) press enter > type "adb reboot bootloader". Your device will now reboot into fastboot mode when it displays "fastboot mode in the bottom left of the screen type into cmd "fastboot oem unlock" > press enter > screen will change and ask you to confirm do this by pressing vol+ > wait and when a screen with three boot options appears DO NOTHING and go to next step.
STEP 5 - flashing insecure boot.img
Now you should have the ability to flash the boot. Type into cmd "fastboot flash boot boot.img" the device will let you know it is done and when it is done flashing just type into cmd "fastboot reboot" and let the device fully boot and goto the next step.
STEP 6 - flashing modified system.img
now open SPFlash tool again it should have remembered the scatterfile if not reload the scatter file. In the main window of the download tab make sure ONLY system is checked then in the location colum click the space in line with system and browse to your modified system.img and click open. At this point before doing anything make sure your device is turned off and not connected to the computer in any way. Now click Download in SPFlash tool then connect your device via usb while turned off and the tool will begin flashing the system.img wait until it is finished and a green tick appears in flash tool and if your device does not boot automatically then unplug it and reboot it wait until it fully rebooted and goto next step. You can close flash tool for now.
STEP 7 - flashing TWRP recovery
with your devfice now booted with a custom boot and system image open cmd prompt and type "cd C:\Users\robert\Desktop\ROOT\adb" > (replace "robert" with your username) press enter > type "adb reboot bootloader" > press enter your device will boot into fastboot mode again when it has type "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" > press enter > when its done type "fastboot reboot" > press enter now wait for the device to fully boot and goto next step
STEP 8 - flashing Supersu by Chainfire
Now your device has rebooted it will be missing the super user app and all binary's so open file explorer on your computer and copy the SuperSU-v2.46.zip from the ROOT folder on the desktop to the download folder on your device after doing that open cmd prompt and type "cd C:\Users\robert\Desktop\ROOT\adb" > (replace "robert" with your username) press enter > type "adb reboot recovery" > press enter. Your device will now reboot into TWRP recovery check the little box and swipe the arrow at the bottom to continue now touch install > touch Download > touch SuperSU-v2.46.zip and finally swipe to install. when it is finished reboot. Hey presto one rooted device with a fully working twrp. reboot and download busybox from play store and install as some programs like system app remover need some binarys from busybox.
After following the above steps you will have a fully rooted device wich can be backed up via twrp and flashed via twrp. now i have figured this out, i think its someone elses turn to build a rom for it preferably Cyanogenmod Thanks for reading this guide and all the best luck with your new rooted device. please remember to click thanks.
Have you found a way to root it without the need for Linux?
Hi
I would like to know if this guide will work for MT-8735
Thanks in advance,
Dimitris
Anyone found a way to root MT8735 version A8-50L or A8-50LC?
The files seem to be missing...
Any help would be much appreciated. I used the guide fine up until the Step 5.
Now I'm a bit stuck.

I used something called Kingroot along with the info and files found here https://forums.lenovo.com/t5/Androi...-to-root-TAB2-A8-50-WiFi-version/td-p/2181021 to help me root without using linux. There is a ROM listed there. If you use Kingroot.apk, you'll have to run it 2 or 3 times to get the ROOT to stick, then you can enable debugging, and oem unlocking in dev options. Afterwards, you can use fastboot to unlock the bootloader and once that's done, use the SP Flash tool to download Max Choen's rom to the device, install SuperSU and Busybox and your gravy!!!
what files? that post does not have any files provided and could someone upload the files that are missing from the post so we could also use them?

If you guys read the entire post in the link I sent you might be able to get where I got. I'm not a dev and not much for writing tutorials but my process went,
1. KingRoot
2. Unlock boot loader
3. Flash twrp via fastboot or flashify
4. Factory reset
5. Reinstall King root and re root.
6. Format and partition memory card
7. Install apps2sd
8. Install Xposed
9. Install obb to SD module
10. Enjoy tablet with 64gb of space with tons of large data games installed!!!! (Note that this step requires you own a 64 gig memory card)

I will post it in the morning, I think it's on my wife's laptop. The link I posted USED TO lead you to a post that had the files I mentioned and the process I followed. Now they are just suggesting you simply root using Kingo... Which is fine and dandy but does not give you the ability to format your memory card. I will post my recovery image for yall in the morning. You would just have to use KingRoot and then flash TWRP using Flashify once you have a successful root. Then you can format your card and install apps2sd of your choice and xposed with the obb2sd module! That's what I got going on, got TONS of large data games on the tablet cause I installed a very fast 64gb memory card, and BIGGITY BAM!!!! Turned this little budget tablet into something decent for the kiddos! Just wish we could do something about that terrible 1gb of memory, but hell, I was able to get this far so I'm pretty happy!:laugh::good:

Here it is!
Had some things to take care of first. Got a wife and kids to care for before I do my geek stuff. This is not a flashable zip! You must unzip the .img file and use Flashify after a successful KingRoot.
P.S. all credit goes to the original creators of this build of twrp I originally obtained in This Very XDA post we are conversing in! All I did was download this file, I am not a dev andi do not take credit or responsibility for any of the files I've used to root this device! Cheers!!!!
Okay... Thanks. I have SuperSU installed and working. TWRP installed and working, but I haven't unlocked the bootloader.
Will this prevent me from installing xposed framework, do you know?
And the which apps, by which developers, do you install to move apps to SD card?
Thanks for your help!

I am using Link2SD, Xposed OBB2SD module. That's about it. Not sure if bootloader unlocking is even necessary for anything.

Can you flash supersu from stock recovery or do i have to flash twrp first?
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!!!
