They are not responding

I have contacted several times to the Chinese websites viz. (1) http://bbs.lenovo.com/ (2) http://club.lenovo.com.cn/ and many more I don't even remember also Lenovo China care, Lenovo Hong kong Care / forums etc. not to mention India Lenovo Care/forum.. But my queiry are left unsolved every time and most of times i was left unanswered. Now the only way for further development is to root our devices.. that's it.

I tried doing readback for the files individually i.e boot.img, recovery.img, system.img respectively, using the start address & length.

MTK Droid Tools was unable to produce scatter for my device ( as expected)

As I don't have the scatter of Lenovo A7000a ( Mt6752) is used that of Lenovo A7600m ( Mt6752) i made readback of the recovery.img, boot.img and sytem.img.

Then, I tried to view the Sytem.img with " ext4_unpacker" but for that it showed invalid/bad image.

I would also like to add that different scatter of MT6752 (different Phones) have different partition_size for the system.img partition as I found out lately.

Believe me , I have done ..if not everything then close to everything...... every time i was unsuccessful or disappointed.

Anyway Lets keep our hope alive.

Well done...though it's a fail...?

Developers ....? ✋

being rookies..,we r trying a lot to root our A7000-a which is one of a million models...?

If u people spare some time...it'll be solved with an ease...?
[Lenovo A7000 Guides, News, & Discussion] KangkanD:
OK.. If anyone has downloaded the source code of lenovo A7000 form lenovo support site, will find the boot.img inside the zip file. Now, I not really sure if this will work for our device ( Lenovo A7000) but we can make cwm recovery from the boot.img file.

We can find the tutorial here:

wow you actually gave us a screen shot than a link.
[Lenovo A7000 Guides, News, & Discussion] xyberz09:
Mind sharing the link so the devs could take it apart and do what they do best, like porting Dolby Atmos or figure out a way to root the device?

From what I can tell by the exchange that happened here:

hxxp://bbs[.]lenovo[.]com/vibeui-bug/t553146/

This link to a ROM for Lenovo A7600 might be relevant:

hxxp://club[.]lenovo.com[.]cn/lefen/bbs/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=217640

System Version: A7600_USR_ST1516

Fit models: Golden Gladiator S8 4g (Unicom version)

Device specs: hxxp://www[.]devicespecifications[.]com/en/model/aecd2b75

(you may have to try it a few times. It works intermittently)

A rooting guide that might work?

I was digging around in Baidu and I might have found out something interesting.

According to my understanding (and Google Translate), this is a rooting guide (in Chinese) for Lenovo A7000 that might actually work:

hxxp://www[.]romjd[.]com/jiaocheng/content/11597

It requires a desktop computer with Windows and something called a Brush Master (?) or VROOT. I looked it up and it seems legit, according to XDA Recognized Contributor, zhuhang. More info on that here:

hxxp://forum[.]xda-developers[.]com/showthread.php?t=2434453

According to Google Translate, "Brush Pack can go ROM base download, can also be downloaded directly from the brush master inside". This makes no sense, of course. However, I'm inclined to think what it's trying to say is that Brush Master can download the stock ROM from your mobile device.

The rooting guide is here (in Chinese):

hxxp://www[.]romjd[.]com/jiaocheng/content/11595

If there are any Chinese members in here that could help translate the guide, that'd be awesome! Thanks!

NOTE: I still can't post links, so please remove the [] and replace the 'xx' from the links.

[Lenovo A7000 Guides, News, & Discussion] xyberz09:
I know it's not the A7000 ROM. If you had actually read my post, you'd know that I specifically mentioned that. I also specified that it might be relevant. I didn't mention anywhere that it was the stock ROM for A7000, so nobody's misguiding anyone.

Regarding the rooting method, you wrote that "this doesn't not work" which actually means that it does work, but I assume you were trying to say that it doesn't work? Have you tried the method before making that statement though?

i have done it finally -Rooted Lenovo A7000

earlier i used ADB VCOM drivers, but it was not successful. Later i installed Lenovo P70 ADB drivers, then my PC detected my mobile. but dont pull out battery. you need not remove your battery. just switch it off. it will be installed. finally i got root access and CWM. i removed all boltware but i did not find any improvement in performance. after installing all the apps as like as earlier it is using same RAM as like as unrooted mobile. but it will be helpful to install custom ROM. That is the only advantage to consider this ROOT. Lucky Patcher app is also not supporting to crack any app on my mobile. So considering all these i think rooting this device is not that much recommended.

Help required for OTA update.

I had rooted my Lenovo A 7000 and installed CWM recovery(ported one as posted in XDA forum). Now I came to know that there is a new OTA update available. SO What should I do : (1) Directly accept update the OTA without unrooting, or (2) first unroot through SuperSu, then accept the available OTA, or (3) Should I apply the update( after downloading flashable zip file for this OTA, if available) through CWM recovery? Then, will I lose root and what difficulty may I face in re-rooting it after the update?

I tried terminal emulator to transfer the root app privilege but the SuperSU did not get the privilege n ....... So with this method I am unable to install CWM recovery even I did follow the whole instructions but did not work* bcoz of that kingroot ...... I unrooted phone with the same kingroot n tried accordingly again but that kingroot app is neither uninstalling nor allowing others to do anything....

Beware of Link2SD or other linking apps. Needs experimenting.

After rooting one may get tempted to use linking apps like Link2Sd or Apps2SD or other like that. But from my experience, even if it is small, our Lenovo device being a 64-bit device may not be fully compatible for using such apps. Link2SD (with Plus also) failed to move a single app to SD from internal memory, however it could link internal app to second partition of SD Card. But now I do not see any linked apps in the tab of 'linked' inside LInk2SD, though I saw but using 'Total Commander' app that I do have many apps in the sdext2.

So one has to experiment, before that it is advisable to create a back up like CWM back up or any other, so that if an app seems to vanish it can be retrieved easily.
