Can someone direct me to a tutorial on how to change the boot animation either from modifiying the .zip file ROM or just doing it after installing the ROM?
Instructions are available for nearly every phone if you search your device's specific forum. This one is for the (g2 and desire z) basic idea. I'd do some searching in your thread though.
**ROOT Is Required**
For BootAnimations:
The usual notice i am not repsonsible if you brick your device but this is pretty easy to do... follow the instructions below:
1. Follow the link to download.
2. Download and rename the file to bootanimation.zip
3. Put it on your sdcard
4. Open terminal enter these commands: (for Cyanogen and Stock Rom)
su
cp /sdcard/bootanimation.zip /data/local/
For those of you who have it the root explorer.apk also works to install
1. Same as above
2. Same as above
3. Same as above
4. Open Root explorer
5. Select bootanimation.zip from sdcard
6. Select move
7. Find Data folder
8. Find Local folder
9. Paste into Local folder
SENSE Roms Instructions: (Absolute System.apk Needed)
1. Download and install Absolute System.apk
2. Select download bootanimations
3. Press Menu
4. Change Install Location
5. Select EVO4G
6. Download Bootanimation
7. Use a File Manager to move Bootanimation into sdcard/goodies/bootanimations
8. Open Absolute System.apk
9. Select Downloaded Bootanimations
10. Select the Bootanimation you just placed in the file

Hello everyone
I've recently bought a Lenovo Tab4 TB-7504X.
This Tablet has a MT8735B SoC. I absolutely need to have root since i need to edit a few system files.
However everything i've tried so far didn't work.
I tried a few one-click-root apps, like Framaroot. After everything failed i tried kingroot and kingoroot (didn't want to use them because of all the negativity they have regarding sending IMEI to their servers etc.). But even those tools failed. I also tried the pc version of kingroot since they say that it has a higher chance, but it also failed. I have also read that the MT8735 is just a rebranded MT6735, but frankly i'm too scared to try and flash a custom recovery for that chip, considerin i don't have a firmware file in case the tablet bricks.
Has anybody found a method to root this chip? I don't really need a custom recovery (altough it would be nice to have), and i don't need the firmware either since i'm planing to stay on stock (again, would be nice to have to clean flash after all the crap i've installed and tried).
Tl;Dr:
Has anyone a working root method for this chip?
@yewoni
did you manage in the meantime?
I'm planning to buy a TB-7504X and also need root to access some secure settings (air plane mode) via tasker...
@yewoni, @pipipde

Root Lenovo Tab 7 TB-7504X Systemlessly
Root Lenovo Tab 4 7 TB-7504X Systemlessly!!
Hello all!!?
Here I will guide you to root Lenovo Tab 4 7 TB-7504X with the chipset MT8735B and Android version 7.0 that also systemlessly!! So let's get tuned into the Step by Step Guide...?
Firstly, I am not responsible for any kind of demage caused to your phone!!
Actually there are two methords of doing so...
Moving on to first one (Simplest),
You need to download latest version of MTK Easy Su v1.0.6 and the Magisk Manager specifically v7.1.1 I will provide link for both of them below...
Install both of them...
Now Firstly open the MTK Easy Su apk and just tap on 'Activate Bootless Root' if it says 'Exit value 0' in the Log section that means you have Root access on your phone...
Note:- Don't try to update Magisk or Magisk Masnager or Set environment for modules to work properly in Magisk Manager, else you will brick your phone
- Don't update Magisk Manager Directly from the apk
- The following process is done on lock bootloader so be carefull.
- You will have to Open the MTK Easy Su apk and tap on 'Activate Bootless Root' each and every time you Reboot your phone...
Pros:-
- Systemless Root
Cons:-
-Will not be able to Update Magisk Manager or Migisk itself
- Will not be able to install Magisk Modules
Second Method:-
For this to work on your phone you need couple of apks and Files...I will provide all the links at the end of this post...
Again, I am not responsible for any kind of demage caused to your phone!!
- Firstly, You need to download an apk named 'init.d Scripts Support' and also need to know your phone's architecture i.e 32 bit or 64 bit if you don't know just download any apk like CPU-Z or anything like that and note your phone's architecture...
- Now, you need to create an folder named 'init.d' in your phone's internal storage and again create another folder named 'bin' inside the 'init.d' folder
Now, you need to move some files in these folders to gain Root access...So let's move on...
- Firstly, Unzip all the Files...
- Open folder named 'magisk-boot' and copy the file named 'magisk-boot.sh' and paste it in 'init.d' folder
- Moving on to next file, then open folder named 'mtk-su_r22' then open the folder based on your phone's architecture i.e 'arm' or 'arm64' (For 32 bit architecture open 'arm' & For 64 bit architecture open 'arm64') and copy the file named 'mtk-su' and just paste the file inside the 'bin' folder of 'init.d' folder
- Moving on to last file to copy, open the folder named 'Magisk-20.4', then open folder named 'arm' there you will find 3 files here, we are just conserned about 2 files named 'magiskinit' & 'magiskinit64'. Just copy one of the two files based on your architecture (If 32 bit then copy 'magiskinit' & if 64 bit just copy 'magiskinit64') and paste it in 'bin' folder of 'init.d' folder. The one who have 64 bit architecture need to make a small change in the file 'magiskinit64' we just copied to 'bin' folder. Just rename the file and remove '64' written behind the file name.
Now your 90% of work has been completed!!
Now install the latest version of 'Magisk Manager' currently v7.5.1 is the latest.
- Now open 'init.d scripts support' apk and check the 'Run scripts at boot time' option.
- Then set 'Execution delay' to 'No delay'
- Now tap on 'Selected folder' and just locate the 'init.d' folder and select it.
Note:- Please let be the option 'Try to acquire root privileges' Uncheked!!
Lastly Reboot your phone and after Rebooting open the 'init.d scripts support' apk and just tap on 'Run scripts now' it will show 1 File selected and then it will Show 1 File Executed'!!
Then just tap 'Show last execution results' (You may need to watch an add every 24 hours) and if it shows 'client: launching new main daemon process' at the very least of the execution results...Congratulations!! Now you have got Systemless Root on your Lenovo Tab 7 TB-7504X successfully!!
Note:-
- Don't Mess around things you don't know on a locked bootloader or you would brick your device.
- Don't update Magisk via the apk itself
- Be Carefull while installing Magisk Madules on a locked bootloader
- You will have to Run the init.d scripts support apk each and every time you reboot your phone to have root access enabled

Hello
I was wondering if someone found any working root method for this tablet. This is the only new 7" tablet i've found with decent hardware, so i'm kind of surprised this tablet has such a small community.
Anyways, has someone managed to root this tablet? I've tried popular apps like Kingroot, Kingoroot etc. but none of them worked.
Thanks
Please make twrp recovery for my lenovo T- 7504x

Hey guys have you tried this? anyone can help with the location to all these files mentioned?
Got success using excellent OpenJDK / Amaze file manager by dongfangxunel - https://github.com/dongfangxunlei/openjdk/wiki/How-to-play-with-apktool-on-android - but, original instructions wouldn't work for me on eXistenZ Pie. I didn't try on straight stock, but I would guess it's the same: jdk downloads, but won't install to /data/data/per.pqy.openjdk. I tried with root, SELinux permissive, changing folder permissions, etc., and no luck. So here's what I did:
- Download openjdk and Amaze from links on github page
- Install OpenJDK installer app and Amaze app one after the next,
* original instructions are to install OpenJDK installer, then set it up, then install Amaze, but I got SHARED_USER_INCOMPATIBLE installation failure when I tried to do that. Just install them both first.
- Open the OpenJDK installer, and click 'check' button on jdk tab, then 'download'. A file called 'OpenJDK (whatever)', with no extension, will be downloaded to your internal storage root.
* normally, here, you would be able to click 'install', and the installer will extract the contents of the file to /data/data/per.pqy.openjdk/, but I couldn't get it to work
- Add the .tar.xz extension to the downloaded file, and extract it there. You will get 'OpenJDK (whatever)' with .tar extension. Copy that file to /data/data/per.pqy.openjdk folder
- Reboot to recovery, and go to terminal, and do
Code:
cd /data/data/per.pqy.openjdk
and then
Code:
tar -xvf OpenJDK (whatever).tar
A new folder called 'openjdk' will be added to that directory.
- Reboot, and open the OpenJDK installer app, and click 'verify' button on jdk tab, and you should see a message on the bottom about the jdk being installed, "...blah blah mixed mode blah blah..."
- Switch to Apktool tab, and click 'check'. tap the drop-down box to select apktool version 2.4. Then click download. Switch to Tomcat tab and download it too, if you want, (not sure what it's for).
- All set up; now, open Amaze app, and use it for Apktool functions. Apktool commands are built in to context menus, (e.g. go to /system/framework/framework-res.apk and tap 3-dot menu, and click 'install framework', etc.).
Hey everyone,
UPDATE: WORKS WITH ANDROID 13! You can now use the more stable verison!!
Thanks to the people at github, yujincheng08 , updated one of the github commits and was finally able to root this device.
How to unlock:
Should be the same as any other samsung device. Follow my S6 Lite guide.
How to root:
1. Download the firmware for your your tablet, i dont know if i can link the sites but you can google it. (frija is recommended and is the fastest)
2. Extract only the AP portion of the firmware.
3. Open up the AP portion with 7-zip or winrar
4. extract the boot.img.lz4 out of the AP file
5. Download Lz4 https://github.com/lz4/lz4/releases to your pc corresponding version.
6. Extract the LZ4 to the same area where the boot.img.lz4 is
7. Open command prompt in that folder and then do
Code:
lz4 boot.img.lz4 boot.img
8. Download this magisk version from github
Release Magisk v24.3 · topjohnwu/Magisk
For those coming from v24.1, check the full changelog for changes introduced in v24.2. [General] Stop using getrandom syscall [Zygisk] Update API to v3, adding new fields to AppSpecializeArgs [App...
github.com
9. Extract the app-release.apk
10.. Connect your tablet and put it in your downloads folder
11. Install it via th My Files or use a file explorer.
12. Move the boot.img into the tablet and use the magiks that you just installed and patch it using that .
13. Move the magisk_patched version back to your pc, rename it to boot.img and create a tar version of it (i used 7-zip)
14. Open up odin , put your device to download mode and then patch the AP using the boot.tar you just created.
15. It should reboot, wait a few seconds and it may reboot a couple times. Then it may ask you to factory reset and just reset.
16. Once you setup your tablet again, connect your pc and do all that usb setup agagin and then move that app-release.apk again.
17. Youre gonna have to install the app-release again but uninstall the magisk already installed on your device first then install it via the apk
18. It should say additional setup required so do that, reboot and you should have root!
Has anyone else tried this guide?? Not trying to brick my new tablet so would like to know if it works for anyone! Thanks in advance!

This site is don't work. Can you share this file?
Thanks for the notice. Just rooted my device successfully using the latest Magisk build from the master branch. Works great!
@ahrmakrm1235 The github artifacts link will only work if you are logged into Github (create a new account if need to, it is free).
first time rooter here. do you mind specifying what you mean by opening command prompt in the folder? i extracted the contents of the Lz4 application into the folder containing the boot file. when I open command prompt, i drag that folder there and then enter the code, but it's not doing anything.
Thank you so much. I success to root sm-t733

Use 7zip zs, free and works just like 7zip , easier method than the lz4 extract.
@Flaccthehawk I'm going to try it out now and see if it makes a difference. If not, I'll edit and add pictures or a screen recording of what I'm doing wrong.
Edit: I did everything correctly, but I'm having trouble flashing the tar file. It keeps failing. I've already tried updating to the latest odin version of 3.14 & I know the firmware is correct because I downloaded it using frija. Any suggestions? I've attached what the error looks like below and my tablet in download mode in case there's an issue there.
In step 13 when creating the tar file for the boot image, what did you use for this? Did you use 7-zip? And did you select the tar option in the archive option in 7-zip (or another program)? Note that it must be a proper tar file. If the file created is a zip or 7z file, it won't work even if you rename the output file as a tar file.
Can you open the tar file using 7zip. Provide a screenshot of what is displayed here. Also within 7-zip after opening the tar file, click into File - Properties and provide a screenshot of this also.
FYI: I actually removed root for now. I noticed the battery was draining a lot quicker than before with Magisk (I did a clean format/flash too when rooting the device). Removing root, battery life is back to normal.
I'm new here, do I need to unlock bootloader before process this?
Yes, the bootloader needs to be unlocked. Note that the device will be erased when unlocking the bootloader so backup any data that you need before doing so.
@1987tlz Yes, I used 7zip to to open the boot file and selected tar as you can see here.
Thank you so much, success to root (SM-T735).
Hi again, I have problem about SafetyNet test failed (basicIntegrity -, ctsProfile -, evalType BASIC), also I cannot enable MagiskHide (after I enable and back to Magisk home, it's change back to disable). Does it possible to bypass SafetyNet test and enable MagiskHide?
Many Thanks
@zriw It wasn't clear from the screenshots, but for the file patched by Magisk, did you rename this to boot.img? Once the file is named as boot.img, then you create the tar file as boot.img.7z. Now you should be to flash it again using Odin.
@imjizho It looks like you are not using a recent version of Magisk, as MagiskHide doesn't exist anymore. On the latest release, Zygisk needs to be enabled and then you can enforce and configure the DenyList.
For passing SafetyNet, the latest version of this module will do the job:
GitHub - kdrag0n/safetynet-fix: Google SafetyNet attestation workarounds for Magisk
Google SafetyNet attestation workarounds for Magisk - GitHub - kdrag0n/safetynet-fix: Google SafetyNet attestation workarounds for Magisk
github.com
All done! Thanks a lot @1987tlz
I found that the problem occurred when I try to hide the Magisk app, it will installed previous version and cannot change back when restore.

Can others confirm the battery drain with root?
Rooting was the first thing i did with the tablet, i have no reference if it is really draining the battery.
//edit:
removing some bloatware (netflix, chrome, and so one) lead me to a bootloop
Im not finding bootloader unlock and am not sure if i have done it correctly on this samsung device.
This is what i have done,
1.Settings>About Tablet>Software Information
2.Tap Build Number repetitively until Developer Settings Enabled
3.Settings>Developer Options
4. Turn OEM Unlocking on
Is this all there is to it? I feel like im missing something.
*** EDIT
Found that if holding both volume down and volume up while plugging the tablet into my PC i was able to find more options to bootloader unlock as well as warnings. After accepting those it did a factory reset. I hope this is all i needed to do.
Thank you, i have successfully achieved root!

Have you tried freezing the bloatware apps with Titanium Backup located in the Play Store?
