Note: This Tutorial is for the Lenovo S8 A7600(M) MOBILE Only! Theres a Tablet named the same, dont get confused.
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.)
Firmware:

TWRP Recovery(Chinese):
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0Bzt5QqUHjbg3aXRTMkFSczZoZWM/view?usp=sharing
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:
Port of K3 Note VIBE 2.8 1530 A7600 5.1】 【07/15/25

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

Just got a new Lenovo s5 (k520 running ZUI 3.7.177 ST) but can't root it (tried KingRoot and Root Genius so far).
It has a nasty little OS (ZUI 3.7) which keeps killing apps it doesn't like. It took me two days to find an adblocker which would work (AdClear) after trying Dns66, Blokada and a couple of others which I can't recall. It's tightly locked down.
* Anyway, my question is... Has anyone had any luck with rooting this phone or OS?
* Or, has anyone any suggestions for apps or rooting options which might be more successful?
If there's any other people out there with this phone, I would seriously consider chipping in to buy one for a dev to work with... give me a yell if you're interested.
Cheers,
Specs:
OS ZUI 3.7 (based on Android O)
CPU Qualcomm Snapdragon 625 2.0GHz Octa core
ROM 64GB
RAM 4GB
Edit: Hmmm, I was hoping that the latest Magisk beta (16.6) might help, but no luck. It does seem to get further along but fails with an 'unable to find boot image' message (my apologies for not being able to quote that accurately). Nothing seems able to find that .img. Can't back it up either as no app can find it. Yes, I need to brush up my adb skills ...my last effort ended in an error reporting lack of appropriate key, as I recall (sorry, have a bit of a flu just now). Anyway, has anyone else been able to look at this phone? Anyone have any ideas (or just thoughts) about what I can do here?
Thanks.
Just to update.... I have tried every simple rooting option I can find -with no luck.
I have found one reference to installing twrp & rooting this phone, but I'm unsure how legit it is ...it just looks a little like its put together by a script; but maybe they just copy/paste a lot when writing tutes? (I have written to them but have had no response from them in a week). The tutorial makes reference to a dev/group in China successfully installing twrp, but only on a Chinese release, not international.
Anyway, I'm wondering if anyone knows of the group or people referenced at
http://tutoraplikasi.com/cara-root-lenovo-s5/
or if anyone might have an idea of the dev(s) in China working on twrp & lenovo?
Just a shot in the dark, really, but I thought I'd ask anyway.
Cheers.
OK, looks like time for some more serious reading and brushing up of old, much neglected skilz... I will probably close this thread and open another ( if there's no objections) in the xda twrp forum.
If anyone is interested, I'm looking to compile twrp for this device with a view to flashing magisk. Hopefully, it will work. Seems that adb & unlocking the bootloader is the only way I'm going to get to actually see the partitions holding the IMG files etc. (Though I do have one or two ideas about escalating privileges/permissions, but that's a whole other bunch of research -and time which is always short.)
Anyway, if you have an interest in rooting this phone have a look for a thread under twrp Q&A.
Cheers.
Seems like it was just a matter of waiting... XN Logos has come up with a solution, it appears --
https://www.stupdroid.com/2018/07/root-twrp-lenovo-k520.html?m=1
At least I managed some in depth reading in the meantime. I'll report back on success of the procedure.
Hi I have also a Lenovo s5. I hated zui 3.7 too and I succeded in installing Lineage OS 15.1 by phh using only fastboot mode... I tried rooting It but unsuccessfully. Now I want twrp and if it would be possible even root. Did you succeed with XN Logos?

Haven't actually tried yet. After all that looking for a root solution I now have been too busy. Will probably do it this Wednesday. I'll keep you posted. Did lineage work well? Any bugs or other issues? ZUI is a dog.
Yeah everything is okay... In the previous updates there was a problem with the audio in ear but now is solved. The only thing that is a little (but not dramatically) worse is battery life because in zui the fact that the os kills every app in background makes the battery last longer.
Hey guys, I know it is no the perfect thread for this yet this phone almost doesn't exist anywhere on the internet. I have the same issue with apps closing as you do. I wanted to install Lineage OS yet as there is no official release for lenovo S5. I would really appreciate some guidance on which release would I install and how. Would it be via the twrp? Thanks in advance.

Hello, I'm a lucky owner of this beautifull beast, the Lenovo S5 K520, but with the horfull ZUI3.7. I always have been using Cyanogen and after lineage OS.
It did not luck for me to install it on the Lenovo S5.
I manage to install TWRP-3.2.2-0713 with the help of the S-Droid toolkit for Lenovo S5.
From there, I did try every rom from phh on this page : https://forum.xda-developers.com/project-treble/trebleenabled-device-development/lineage-phh-treble-t3767690
but the best I did get is the first logo of lineage OS going on and never stop for hours. I also did try AOSP treble Rom from this site : https://forum.xda-developers.com/project-treble/trebleenabled-device-development/experimental-phh-treble-t3709659, but there I'm getting the Android text changing of ligth theme, but bothing more.
Could you please tell us the procedure and the version of the software you are using so that you are able to use Lineage OS on a Lenovo S5 K520?
Thanks a lot.

Hi i did in this way...
1)fastboot -w
2)fastboot erase modemst1
3)fastboot erase modemst2
4) fastboot erase system
5) fastboot erase boot
6) fastboot erase recovery
7) fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
8) fastboot flash boot boot.img
9) fastboot flash system {systemname}.img
The only thing you should do firstly is download the firmware from a video in YouTube whose name is like "ROM Lenovo s5" or something like that and extract the firmware in order to have both boot.img and recovery.img. Hope I could help
P.s. I used phh lineage latest build
Lenovo S5 global version stock rom
Hi everybody!
I was wondering if any of you have a copy of the original ZUI 3.7 non-Chinese stock firmware. I had trouble with my phone and contacted the customer service. Unfortunately, they've sent me the Chinese version (K520_CN_OPEN_USER_Q00011.0_O_ZUI_3.7.355_ST_180412_qpst) and now my phone is almost unusable as the rom only contains crappy Chinese stuff... :crying:
All apps are Chinese and it contains no GApps... I cannot even restore previously save config.
Please help me and send me a backup or the original non-Chinese firmware.
Thank you very much
I didn't even know the existence of an original firmware for non Chinese phones indeed when I bought it it came with a horrible chinese firmware with few translations. Did you find it? Because I want to try it too. If you didn't find it I'm also going to look for it

Hi,
I am new to this forum, so may have missed the obvious ..
I have a Samsung Galaxy J5 Pro (SM-J530Y) and am looking for a Lineage ROM for it. I have found one for other versions of the J5 Pro (specifically [ROM][UNOFFICIAL]LineageOS 15.1 [8.1][J530F/G/S][10/05/18] - I would add a link but for some reason my system no longer copy and pastes .. )
I have used TWRP and set up the phone, and tried to load the ROM listed above, but the install ends with the message:
"E3004: This package is for device: j5y17lte, j5y17letub; this device isj5y17ltedx.
Updater process ended with ERROR: 7
Error installing zip file '/external_sd/lineage-15.1-20180510-UNOFFICIAL-j5y17lte.zip'"
I read this as I have got the wrong ROM zip file to load onto this phone. Can someone confirm this?
Also, can someone point me at a ROM image that will work (or more than one if there are more than one ...)
Thanks,
Tony

For 8.1 ROMs you need a newer TWRP version , take the latest one and I think you won't have this problem anymore

Hi,
Many thanks for the reply.
I downloaded TWRP a few days ago, at the same time as I downloaded the .zip image, hopefully it is recent enough. It is version 3.2.1-0.
Is this recent enough? If not, can you point me at he latest suitable version (I tried looking around but as I am not familiar with the various sites, it still is a bit daunting.)

Hi,
Sorry for the confusion - that is the version of TWRP that I used and it gave me those error messages.
From your reply then, it looks like the TWRP version is not the issue.
Can you suggest anything else?

Ok , it look like your device isn't the right one , because the codename verification revealed that the ROM you've flashed isn't for your device's variant.
I don't know why I didn't think about it earlier, but now you have the right answer .
If you want to flash something , you have to know what's your phone's codename , now you know it's "j5y17ltedx".
Try to find the zip file for your variant.
And also press the thank button if I helped you
Download Device ID from the Google Play Store then it should reveal the code name of your device. It should be the same as TWRP shows. You should only flash ROMs that matches the device codename on the device.
The application lists out your registered email account on this device, the device codename, and your Google Services Framework ID. The one you should be looking for is Device Codename.

Hi,
Thanks fro looking at this.
From the error message I get, I assume that the devicename is: sj5y17ltedx
Is this correct?
Note that I have got rid of the default Samsung operating system so cannnot boot it anymore (Since I had a ROM I thought would work I decided to bite the bullet and go for it. I may have been a bit hasty ...)
I have tried to search for that name (sj5y17ltedx) but there are no hits in this website (xdadevelopers). Does that mean no one has built a ROM for my version of phone yet?
Thanks,
Tony.
There are currently no ROMs that supported your variant instead of the stock deodexed version of the Stock ROM.

Hi,
OK - thanks for that. I have downloaded and installed the Breeze+ ROM you pointed to.
It looks like it is running OK. I will see how it goes over the next few days.
Many thanks,
Tony

Hi Tony
Looking in to this device for lineage os and found this post
was wondering if this was a good substitute and if you had any feedback regarding the ROM after a few months (potentially) of use?
Cheers mate
Here is the LATEST Official Stable Global ROM of Miui 10.3.4.0
Download:
miui_POCOF1Global_V10.3.4.0.PEJMIXM.zip
In order to install it, just copy it to your phone, go to your phone settings, then About phone, then click on System update, then click on the huge logo of the number 10, click on it 10 times, then it will say something like more options unlocked or something, then click on the 3 dots on the upper right hand corner of your screen, and select Choose update package. Then navagate to the file and it will do it's thing, and it will tell you when it needs to reboot, then when it reboots it will update per usual. This is for anyone who wants to update but hasn't received it yet automatically. This is for those of you who are on the Official Global version. I'm not rooted, don't know what will happen if you try this with a rooted phone.
Global stable will replace TWRP with stock recovery, no big deal just reflash TWRP in fastboot after updating. EU Global stable does not replace TWRP recovery?

Hi im just new in this kind of stuffs and i dont know where to start.
Base on others said that its better to use custom rom than miui
I am afraid that i might brick my phone thats why i afraid to do it.
Im currenty playing wild rift and so far, for the past weeks im experiencing FPS drop which is so annoying.
So whats the most stable custom rom you can recomend?
and just in case something wrong happened. can i still revert it back to miui?
any topic or thread you can link in comments would be really appreciated.
thanks
I haven't done that for long so I can't give you an accurate answer, but if you brick your phone you should be able to unbrick it using Mi FlashTool. Example here: https://www.technobuzz.net/xiaomi-unbrick-guide. I've never had completely bricked a phone even though I did take very very bad decisions. And yes custom roms are lighter than MIUI. Try to find a step by step tuto.
so where should i start?
any thread you can link?
Some will say this is outdated, but I still find it a good starting point: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/4196271/ (especially this step-by-step guide: https://telegra.ph/How-to-install-Poco-x3-ROM-10-14; unless your preferred ROM developer tells you otherwise -- if unsure, always follow dev instructions).
After that, you could maybe proceed with the Index: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/4176491/.

Just tried it, works fine from here. Try a webproxy, maybe.

custom rom don't destroy/brick your fone, its
a) wrong kernel or right kernel taken from unpopular source (telegram groups etc)
b) flashing error due to cable or otg failure!
where to start?
1. download miui unlocker, on windows pc/laptop
2. from developer option miui12, link miui account (which you must've already signed in to, )
3. don't use wifi, use 4g sim to link account in developer options
4. shutdown device and goto fastboot mode by pressing volume downd+power button for 10+ seconds untill u see fastboot and BOT
5. runn miui unlocker and attach cable, sign in to your miui account. it will verify and give you one week waiting time! , DONOT TOUCH ANYTHING IN THE SETTINGS OR MIUI ACCOUNT NOW. after one week, unlock the device (take backup before)
6. flash recovery
7. flash rom ( i would suggest RR8.0 or HAVOC) , if you want android 11, then go for Crdroid!
8. flash google apps / or nick apps IF the rom doesn't have it!
9. keep oem firmware 90mb file handy! sometimes o translate programming language the script requires latest Fw. , you can download it from xiaomifirmwaredownloader site!
10. flash magisk if you want rooted poco
11. reboot!
