[Completed] [Q] Lenovo K910 Dual SIM (kitonw, not kiton!)

I need help with this very specific model phone:
Unlocking the Bootloader
Rooting
Finding a proper VIBEUI 1.5+ /KK 4.4.x FW that fits this specific model
I went through A LOT of forum pages
translated both chinese and russian forums
but had no luck with this phone.
I also read that VIBE UI 2.0 is about to come out
but the translation from Chinese always mentions something about some sort of "brush" software for upgrading
or the translation might have been off.
please help
it's a great phone but I'm limited here, I need KK to use BT4.0 and other features.
THANKS IN ADVANCE!
Tom

Hi!
I search XDA....heres a thread that popped right up for root.
Please read it all very carefully....and if you proceed...follow the instructions exactly.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2597590
That one may be 4.2.2....tho later in the thread they are talking about 4.4.2...so maybe start on last page and read back. Might be links to newer version.
Edit: posted dupe link.
To unlock boot loader, I saw in that thread you use fastboot and use command...
Fastboot OEM unlock
Its a long thread, but personally I'd skim through it all. You will learn a lot, before you do anything.
Also that's a perfect thread to ask for further help.
Good luck!

Blu Studio 5
Good luck!

firmware
i tried the link for the factory rom and it was a dead link said file was no longer there for download. to be honest since there is alot involved in flashing the phone with the most current firmware available i am going to just pass and just keep what the phone currently has firmware wise. i do not want to by mistake brick the phone. all i really want to do is have on hand a copy of the most current firmware for my phone so in the event i need to re-flash it i can. i have tried seeking the firmware file for the phone but keep hitting dead links. thank you for your time. if u do have a live link so i can download a up to date firmware for the phone i could use that. thank you

[Completed] [Q] Asus T100 TAF and Wifi

Hello,
I need your help guys.
I installed ubuntu on my Asus T100 TAF using the magic stick http://forum.xda-developers.com/win...opment/live-asus-t100-ta-magic-stick-t3091481
Grub and all the booting stuff is ok however.
Wifi is not Working !!!
After looking through this google+ community https://plus.google.com/communities/117853703024346186936
Kernel 4.1 was posted through the community and I installed it hoping my Wifi would work. Nothing. Not working
After, I saw that someone with the same computer than mine posted a Kernel version that would make wifi work.
Here's the link to the github: https://github.com/pinkflozd/T100TAF_kernel/
The thing is that I have absolutely no clue how to install this. It's an uncompiled kernel.​Could you please assist me on the subject ?!
More info:
Before arriving to that point, I tried installing brcmfmac43241b4-sdio.txt and brcmfmac43241b4-sdio.bin according to https://linuxnorth.wordpress.com/2014/08/28/establishing-wi-fi-connectivity-on-the-t100/
But, no sign of wifi connection
According to someone on the google+ community, the right driver for my computer is brcmfmac43340.bin, but I have no clue on how to find the .txt(nvram file)
Also, sound is not working but the previously posted uncompiled kernel apparently fixes all the previously mentioned problems.
Heres the actual Google+ Posting of the kernel version for my asus t100taf, its the second post.https://plus.google.com/112460475763080321634/posts​
All help would be appreciated. thank you very much !!

[Completed] [HELP] How to Root ALCATEL FLASH 2

Hi,
First i would like to give thanks to all the information on this site, so i decided to create an account here to try and share too.
It just happened that I've bought a cool smartphone and tried to Root it, Luckily it went not successful haha my bad.
I've tried using almost all the One Click Rooting Apps (apk) available on here. So I Guess after what I've done with my powers I should ask for a SOS.
infos:
Released on September 2015
Android OS, v5.1, 16GB storage,
5.0", 720x1280 pixels
13MP, 1080p
2GB RAM ; MT6753
3000mAh Battery.
Is it because of the Lollipop v5.1 why I can't root it?? and if i use a computer base rooting will i hurt my Phone?
Thanks for those who will help.

Already done that sir

Hey thanks for the response, yeah but as I have said,
"I've tried using almost all the One Click Rooting Apps (apk) available on here. So I Guess after what I've done with my powers I should ask for a SOS."
I've used Kingroots latest Version so far, Until Kingroot updates its database I guess we have to wait.
Anyway I will keep on trying to gain something too and to Help Others that meets same problem as mine.

Hi sir, Thanks for the link, I've found a Rooting process there but i can't post a Link in here (yet). I'm just afraid to try it because of complicated process, it might cause a Bootloop if done anything wrong.

OffTopic, seems like other reply for this thread is not posting. XDA emailed me that someone is replying on this thread but I can't see it hehehe.

This is taking far too much long, so thread closed.

Simple answer would be no, no one but yourself. Coding a custom recovery require for the dev to have the device in question. Second part of the problem is the incentive. Coding a compatible twrp recovery takes time. What is it for the potential developer? Pay someone to help you and you will get results.

True, true, but I am lost with where to start with this ereader. I would probably have to start with linage OS or asop to figure it out, and perhaps brick the ereader a few times

1. You can't just randomly flash lineage os. You need a lineage os image build specifically for your device. Flashing anything else will brick it.
2. Check this link

Now those threads are quite old. I suggest you read through everything and try to download whatever you can. Most links will be dead, so don't just jump in flashing stuff from the first post.

I'm quite sure after research, I happen to have the OG kobo arc
Which by far is interesting

I don't do much with Kobo.
On a regular Android I usually just start with the stock recovery and add a rooted ADB.
That gives me all that I need. I can manually install updates.
