Hi guys,

Just got this tablet yesterday. Should I update to lolipop or stay with 4.4.2 ? My goal is to have root + xposed and best battery life.

What did you use to remove all the blootware ?

Thanks by advance
[General Questions and Answers] Su712:
2 questions

I just bought this tab (Lenovo Tab 2 A7-10F) a couple of days ago and its running the stock out of the box firmware and Android Kitkat version. I want to root this tab so can anyone tell me if Kingroot Android version is compatible with it? I wanna refrain from using PC apps if possible. Also since I'm still kinda new to the whole rooting scene, is it safe to accept and update the tab's software through official OTA updates from Lenovo after rooting? I've read about people getting stuck in a bootloop or No Command error after rooting /updating the software /both. So just want to be sure. I don't wanna brick my new tab :(
[General Questions and Answers] Su712:
Hello, is this thread dead? If not then can someone please reply? Much thanks :)
[General Questions and Answers] Thomas !:
If you want lolipop do the update while it's stock.

I will explain you how to root later, I have to go. If you're hurry I already wrote a tutorial but in french here (Thomlas post) : http://www.dealabs.com/forums/le-ba...ons-et-autres-trucs-techniques-/12861?page=20

Tutorial for root is same for lolipop and kitkat (I have tested myself on both). Xposed tuto is for lolipop stock. If Kitkat just download xposed installer and install it, then go in the app and press install framwork.
[General Questions and Answers] Su712:
Thanks man. That's the confirmation I needed. I will root with Kingroot later then. I don't plan to update to Lollipop so hopefully it'll all go good :D

I used Google Translate for your website (I don't speak French XD) so correct me if I'm wrong, but it says to use an older version of Kingroot. Any specific reason for that? And if not then can I update to the latest version ( I think its 4.5-something) after rooting or stay on the older one only?

Sorry for asking so many questions!
[General Questions and Answers] themref:
4.5 don't work on our tab, i think that's the main reason [emoji14]

I got this tablet yesterday, it has 4.4.4 installed. Was thinking only to root it and maybe xposed.....It has Lollipop update notification, but i`m afraid it will slow the device.

After optimization i had 0.1%/hour when screen off with lolipop.
[General Questions and Answers] nikolaf7:
So I should first update to Lollipop then root with kingroot?
[General Questions and Answers] Thomas !:
If you want Lolipop + root + xposed

I - Make the Lolipop OTA update. It's more safe if you didn't modify the ROM (no root).

II - ROOT

1 - Download and install Kinroot 4.1.0.249 : http://xdaforums.com/devdb/project/dl/?id=12586

2 - Launch Kingroot and press "root". You're tablet will reboot during the process. Don't worry. Kingroot will start again when tablet is rebooted and it will finish the root.

3 - (optional) Replace Kingroot with SuperSu : http://www.w0lfdroid.com/2015/05/How-to-Remove-Replace-KingUser-KingRoot-with-SuperSU.html

III - XPOSED

1 - Download xposed_fwk_installer : https://mega.nz/#F!2hBQBbpQ!eqzTzH4RMK82oxAR8zdPcA (thanks to StfMod and pix106)

2 - Download framework Xposed arm (xposed-v71-sdk21-arm.zip) and xposed_installer (XposedInstaller_3.0_alpha4.apk) : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=3034811

3 - Install Busybox and a Terminal : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=jackpal.androidterm&hl=fr and https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=stericson.busybox&hl=fr

4 - Launch Busybox and install it

5 - Copy the script (xposed_fwk_installer) and xposed-v71-sdk21-arm.zip to /sdcard

6 - Launch the terminal app and type :

- su

- cd /sdcard

- sh xposed_fwk_installer

7 - Reboot and install xposed_installer.

If you want KitKat + root + xposed

I - Root : same as Lolipop

II - Xposed

1 - Download and install xposed installer here : http://repo.xposed.info/module/de.robv.android.xposed.installer (the first one is experimental version maybe you should take stable version).

2 - Launch the app and install the framwork

3 - That's it

I'm not responsible if you dammage your device. This method worked well for me and others so you shouldn't have issue if you follow everything.

And is there any way to recover my dear tablet if something goes wrong during this process?(seeing that we don't have a working recovery yet)
[General Questions and Answers] Thomas !:
Why do you say you don't have a working recovery ?

If you're recovery is the stock one, I think yes and there is no reason it goes wrong if no modification.

I have read some people saying they can't boot anymore and finally found a way to get it work back. So there should be a solution.

[General Questions and Answers] mayank22:
can some one please answer my question: will i get ota updates after rooting the tablet?

i have updated to lollipop but i am talking about small incremental updates.
[General Questions and Answers] nikolaf7:
I rooted lollipop with kingroot, without xposed.

It's rooted, only thing that bothers me is titanium won't backup to microsd card, only to internal storage.
[General Questions and Answers] Su712:
Yeah I rooted but I'm still on the out-of-the-box firmware version (minus the bloatware) as I did not want to upgrade to Lollipop. I'm still getting the OTA update notifications though... Small 30-35mb upgrades that are supposed to fix bugs, improve system stability etc etc. So yes I suppose if there are further bug fixes in Lollipop you will get the notifications too although don't update if you modified your ROM and definitely don't update without removing root or you'll risk bricking your device.

Storage is giving me trouble too. Less than 6GB is available for the user. I installed two games and its already full. Since its emulated storage I can't even seem to be able to move the files to my external sd card- be it obb files for games, backups from Titanium or videos put together by Kinemaster. I've already tried Link2sd, Obb on SD (xposed module), apps2sd.... But none worked. Any suggestions?
[General Questions and Answers] mayank22:
Should I not even try incremental upgrades? Do this small updates too check for root integrity?

[General Questions and Answers] Androloid:
Is there any easy, or not so easy way to root directly with SuperSu installation? I couldn't install any application which is not on PS, after I unsuccessfully tried to replace kinguser with SuperSu. Method with first kingroot, then re-root with vroot leaves kinguser on tablet and it is impossible to remove it.

I have bricked it with this method. After successful root I removed Chinese apps with Super Su ME, but tablet wouldn't boot. I had to flash it again.

I didnt flash Chinese firmware, but I did flash European ROW sw with format+download and I probably deleted some partition and messed up something.

CM 12?

Unless you are paid to do it only then there will be CM 12 if not "Dream ON" This Tab2 A7-30/10 is only for childrens play toys. I mean it! So there is no incentives to work on CM 12.

I am buying the Lenovo PhabPlus (currently own 2pcs A8-A5500/ Tab2 A7-30/ PiPo M9Pro/ Onda V975m/Zenithink Tabs and a few other Lenovo phones) between the A8-A5500 and the Tab2 A7-30 the A8 is the better Tab with 5Mp/2Mp camera versus 2Mp/0.3Mp camera.

And among the aforementioned Tab the PiPo M9Pro is the better one because it has Camera flash/GPS/Compass/32Gb storage from 24 months ago and support Forum. I am upgrading the A7-30 to Philz Recovery and S000126 Lollipop and thats it for me as far as the A7 is concern. (Phab Plus or the S8-50??):p

So, Splashtop 2, lets you control your PC from your tablet/phone...this is great....

However, if you had a OTA cable connected Mouse or a bluetooth mouse, you'll notice it's impossible to game using splashtop because, whilst a mouse is connected, it's seen as trackpad movement, so the PC decides to go mental if you're playing an FPS game with a mouse on your tablet/phone.

Yes the OEM Qi charging works fine as does NFC with UAG case.

NO.. the UAG case does not fit with the wireless Qi back. So either take off the back of the Qi wireless plate, or take the Qi wireless receiver out of the OEM note edge wireless back plate, and place it inside the OEM non-wireless back plate, and fit in the UAG, and it will both fit and work.

[Verizon LG G3] iBolski:
There are two methods to go back to 10b: the KDZ method and the TOT method. Just to give you some info, if you go back via the KDZ method, you won't be able to accept OTAs from what I've read. This is because the KDZ image is based off of a pre-release version of the software for the G3.

The TOT method, which is more involved but still easy to do, uses an official 10b version that will accept all the official OTAs.

Just my 2 cents worth.

Love the phone. I am not disappointed in it at all.
