After much searching plus trial and error I finally have rooted my Huawei Honor Holly -U19 phone successfully. I installed many drivers prior to it but don't know for sure which one did the trick for me. But eventually I figured it out. Hence, without further delay here is the exact process of rooting this killer phone. :angel:
Make sure you have the original data cable with you, though I used data cable of Samsung Note 2 it worked, hence, any OEM data cable should do the trick to be on the safe side use Samsung or Huawei supplied data cable only. :cyclops:
Steps to follow in the following series: :fingers-crossed:
1. Click on this link.
Here I've uploaded all the software/drivers that you would be needing to root. Hence download all the files in it to your computer.
2. After the download completes, install the apps and driver in the following series. [This is important]
ADB Installer 1.4.2
Handset_WinDriver_1.00.00.31
DriverAutoInstaller_v1.1236.00
Then,
iRoot 1.7.9.10454
3. Connect phone via USB
4. Bring down the notification panel and click on the USB icon
5. Enable USB Debugging and select storage as connect method. (Do not select MTP, Camera or CD Drive mode)
6. After selecting storage mode "Do not tap" on "Mount the storage as USB" button which is at the bottom of the screen. Doing this will make your memory card unavailable and the root process will also fail.
7. Open the iRoot app and let it detect your phone. Make sure you have an active internet connection, so that it can download the drivers and install it automatically. This causes you an additional download of about 30 MB. [Don't worry its all worth it] :good:
8. After that the iRoot will install 3 Chinese apps on your phone. Do not do anything with it, let it complete on its own.
9. If everything goes well you will see the green Root button. Click on it.
10. Make sure the phone is fully charged and you have UPS backup on your computer. Any interruption after you click the Root button in iRoot can make your phone unusable. So take huge precautions during the process. (You've been warned now)
11. Wait for 2 mins now and don't do anything. The phone will restart after the process is completed. You can see the ongoing status on iRoot itself.
12. After successful completion you will see the below screen on iRoot app on your computer screen.

13. Your phone is rooted! :good:
14. Download SuperSU app from Play Store and install. Open SuperSU, the Chinese app will pop up so as to grant SuperSU root permissions or not, remember to tap the RIGHT button in the Chinese app which is a YES.
15. Download Root Cleaner and uninstall all the Chinese apps from your phone, you do not need them anymore now. :victory:
16. Update your SuperSU binaries and reboot the phone.
That's all. Enjoy!
[Showed me VCOM error during the last stage of driver installation in PC but it didn't affect the process. ]
Thank you!
Thanks for sharing this! Seriously. I have tried various other methods but in vain. So thanks a lot

Did the above tutorial helped you to root your phone successfully?
And for the ClockworkMod part, there are currently no ROM for this phone, so better enjoy only the root features for now, instead of risking the bricking of phone. :fingers-crossed:

Welcome dude. It worked for you that was more than enough for me. :good:
Nabakumar.. Awesome man. Thanks for sharing your method with full details and required drivers and software. Really appreciate your efforts to root this device and more over to your share which will help others to root. ?
In my case, phone successfully connected.
After that while root is clicked, a chineese software pop ups on the screen (with the icon similar to google currents) and show a green diagram which shows its connected to PC.
Then immediately it immediately closes with th error "unfortunately 'chineese' stopped working "
I followed your steps correctly, but doubt about the stability of my PCs internet connection( i assume once it download drivers internet is not used)
Will be trying later once i get a new setter.
Can you share your thoughts on this error.
Have you faced such issue while your tries?

Nope, I have not faced this error while rooting and about the chines app which pops up with the mobile and phone connecting diagram, let me tell you that when there comes a popup with a reverse seconds timer, kindly tap the button which is on the right. I don't know what that option is bcz of the Chinese language but it did the trick for me. :fingers-crossed:
Having an active and non broken internet connection is a must for this process to work, since, iRoot does not come with bundled drivers for this phone in the setup.
Make sure about the internet and you will successfully root your phone. :good:

You need to have an active internet connection during the whole process of rooting, so that iRoot can download drivers. This is important. If iRoot can't detect your device, then you can't root it. Have a stable net connection and then try again. It will for sure work.
HI
I have an internet connection, and it is stable too. It connects to USB debug mode but USB Mass storage and MTP notification will not appear when i connect the USB to my laptop.
------------------------
Yaay!!
I did it. It took a hard reset for me.. After a reset i was able to root my device. Thanks mate... I can now use it to the extent..
One more submission, I was in mtp throughout the performance.

This tutorial is for the LG L5 II (E455/E460) and shall work on other LG phones too.
Many thanks to @iulykenoby who discovered this method.
To start, download a KDZ firmware for your LG E460 (and other phones) from here: http://lg-phone-firmware.com/index.php
Be sure to match the phone with the right kdz!!!
1. Download LG_KDZ_FW-Update_OfflineFix.ZIP (attached)
2. Download USB Driver http://algmcdn.lgmobile.com/dn/downloader.dev?fileKey=UW00120120425
If you can't boot anymore, enter into download/emergency mode and skip to step 5.
3. Put your phone in debugging mode (menu-Settings-Developer options-USB debugging).
4. Change your usb connection type to LG Software (menu-Settings-USB connection type)
5. Connect your phone to the PC and install USB Driver. After the installation disconnect and connect your phone again (to make sure it is detected).
6. Extract LG_KDZ_FW-Update_OfflineFix.ZIP
7. Run B2CAppSetup.exe and let it install and update itself. You may be prompted to update your drivers.
8. If you've done everything correctly, you should see this:
{

"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
9. Close the official LG Mobile Support Tool.
10. Open Notepad in Administrator mode. (Go to windows menu, type notepad and right-click and run in Administrator mode)
11. Open the hosts file (c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc)
12. Add 127.0.0.1 csmg.lgmobile.com at the end of the host file.
13. Save the file. If the "Save as" dialog opens, it means you're not running notepad in administrator mode and you can't modify the hosts file.
14. Go to windows menu, type cmd and right-click and run in Administrator mode.
15. Drag Automatic Offline Procedure.vbs over command prompt and hit enter.
16. Click OK
17. Click on windows enable icon in system tray to turn ON then click the dialog box OK.
18. Click Ok.
19. Make sure Type is set to 3GQCT and phone mode to DIAG. Select your KDZ file and click Normal web upgrade test.
20. Click on Upgrade Start.
21. Click on Clear phone Software update Registry and then click OK.
22. Software Update Procedure will start immediately. It will take some time to finish.
After the flashing procedure, don't forget to delete that line you added in hosts or else you won't be able to officialy update (online) your phone and you won't be able to download anything from lg. Also, a factory reset may be needed after flashing to avoid conflicts with the old app data.
Ohhhhhh thx mircea, work for me. The problem was on step 19, now it's all ok.

Try booting again in upload mode. If I remember right it's: phone off and both volume keys pressed then introduce the usb cable. if you manage to boot in download mode, you can try to flash again. you surely didn't select the right kdz for your phone. be sure of your phone model and search for the right kdz for your phone. If you can boot in download mode nothing is lost, you can fix it.

For root, the attached file should work (change it's extension from .zip to .exe). Instructions here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2337802
it will root with a chineese tool, but there you'll also find instructions to change it to supersu/superuser.

you can flash any firmware from any country as long as it is for your phone model. i recommend you flash a firmware that's not branded (for ex branded by orange) so you won't have extra software that will slow down your phone. on that website you will find firmwares for many phones. our phone (e460) received an update, that's why they are called "a" "b" "c".

I suggest you change your antivrus. On virustotal.com out of 43 antivirus apps only 1 found it as malware.

I and others used vroot and had no problem with viruses or such. Stop spreading false information.
Malware
Mircea,
I dont use or trust online scanners I prefer to use IDA and other tools to examine software. If you examine the software more closely you will find that it sends your PC information back to the author. It will also do an update check and install of the latest version automatically. It will also install an apk for a chinese file sharing site and multiple other files that he leaves in the phones system. I also rooted a test phone and it did root perfectly. I was not trying to scare people just give a little warning to be cautious when you install a program that has a primary interface language is not yours. I had no ill intentions just trying to make people aware of what I had found.

Yes, it installs a chineese apk because that's the root application (just like superuser). After installing supersu and deleting the chineese apk I scanned my phone with bitdefender and avg and found no malware.
You also can disable your internet before installing vroot on your computer, root your phone then uninstall it. Then you can scan your computer with any antivrus and antispyware software you want and you won't find a trace of Vroot. Before saying it's full of malware, you should prove it. I just proved with 43 antiviruses that it has no malware and all you're saying is you don't trust them. I also offered a solution to avoid sending information about your computer, IF that was the case. Also, using a sandbox just like you said is also ok.

I have made this tutorial due to me not finding any other tutorials on fixing the problem presented in this guide. Dear admins if there is another guide on how to fix this problem please feel free to do what you must to this thread. Thank You
First of all is if you have the security error problem on your phone I can assure you that it is NOT bricked and can be fixed.
Also I am not and will not be accountable if this guide does not fix your phone. I also will not and should not be held accountable if this guide is to further damage anything of your phone.
PROCEED WITH CAUTION; Please Pre-Read this guide and understand it before proceeding.
Okay so I will guide you through on how to fix the security error problem most people have on their LG devices. I had encountered this problem on my friends LG MS769 (Optimus L9 – MetroPCS). This guide should work for mostly any LG phone.
This happened to me when I was flashing a custom recovery for the phone. I had successfully rooted the phone using a guide located at:
androidforums.com/optimus-l9-all-things-root/759935-how-root-metropcs-l9-lgms769.html
By following the above guide you will be able to successfully root and install SuperSU on you LG MS769. But keep in mind that even though it will root the phone is will NOT, I don’t know how to emphasis this as much, it will NOT: Unlock the BootLoader, Flash a custom recovery, or let you install a Custom Rom.
But let us come back the topic at hand. Okay so to fix this problem we will need the following.
LG Mobile Support Tool -- B2CAppSetup.exe -- Attached
A reliable Internet Connection
A computer with Windows XP/Vista/7/8 – (Untested on Windows 8)
TIME and PATIENCE --- We will be downloading a file about 500MB give or take some.
Okay let us begin in our endeavors of fixing our problems.
First use the below download link to download the LG Mobile Support Tool
After downloading that place it on your desktop and run it as administrator
After you run B2CAppSetup.exe it should automatically open the Mobile Support Tool, if not there should be a new .exe created on the desktop called LGMobile Support Tool just double click and open that.
Let the program update and install any necessary files that it requires. (It should automatically start to update and install, it should just prompt you with a UAC window)
Once you see the program open, click on the Install USB Driver button on the top left-hand side
Then a new window will come up asking for you for the phones carrier and the phones model number.
Once you are successfully done installing the drivers, we can proceed to the restoration process of the phone
Okay now we need to put the phone in S/W Upgrade Mode.
a.Remove phone battery, if it does not have a removable battery make sure phone is off
b.While holding down the VOLUME (DOWN or UP or BOTH) BUTTON(S) insert the microUsb in the phone while also having the USB side connected to the computer already. (To enter S/W mode it varies phone to phone which volume buttons must be pressed, try all three options)
Once the phone is in S/W Upgrade Mode the computer will start to install the drivers and the LG Mobile Support Tool will automatically detect it and start the restore process
a.Keep in mind that this process takes its time and should more than likely complete successfully giving you a working phone
b.NOTE: I have read some people calming that the process gets stuck at 4% and does not go on. If it does happen to get stuck at any percentage let it stay there for a while and see if it does go on, if not I would recommend retrying once on the same computer and if it still does not work I would give a second recommendation to try on another computer. Other than that I would suggest you contact you phone carrier or LG.
If all goes well you should have a fully functioning factory restored LG phone. Congratulations!!!!
Hope this guide was of help and I wish you best of luck in your further endeavors. :good:

Security Error corrected!
Thanks for this info! I was able to update the SW from the LG Support Tool program but I had to switch to another computer to do it, and after several tries it finally took.
For this LG-P769 I had to hold the volume up button with the battery out and it went into the SW update mode on the phones screen. The update stopped after 33% update and I had to disconnect and install the battery, start the phone and let the Security Error extinguish, then plugged the USB cord back in and click the retry button of the tool, then it updates. Yes!
Note, wait until the phone reboots to the normal operating screen even though the tool says its done. This tool approx. 2 more minutes.
The phone is no longer rooted but it kept all the original apps except "Superus".
Not working for me, any help?
I have an LG-LS970, and I've made it to the point where the recovery software was downloaded and extracted, but something is causing an error and not letting the process finish. I assume this is the faulty ROM on the phone, since my phone is bricked from rooting and deleting Google Play apps (I was stupid and thought they weren't important to have). Any ideas?
If you had the recovery software installed you could of installed the gaps. Zip files through it.

Please help i've been at this for 2 days
I moved a boot.img file to my Metropcs LG optimus L9 lgms769 and now I am stuck at the security error. I rooted the phone but did not have the bootloader unlocked. I have tried the update tool and it stops at 4%, when I can get it to work. I haven't either understood the other methods mention or something, idk. Anyway, I would really like to get my phone working. Can someone please give me a good way to do this. I have the V10E_00.kdz file already. Thankyou
I already have the latest version but need to repair
Thanks for the instructions! I followed the steps and everything basically works but once the phone is in software upgrade mode, the LG tool just says "Your device has the latest software available from the LG Mobile Support Tool" and it doesn't install anything.
What happened is I rooted my phone and removed one too many system apps, now it won't boot up anymore. How can I get this tool to reinstall the same software I already have? Do I need to wipe it completely? Please help me out, I'm afraid I'll make it worse if I try anything else.

Thanks for the instructions! I followed the steps and everything basically works but once the phone is in software upgrade mode, the LG tool just says "Your device has the latest software available from the LG Mobile Support Tool" and it doesn't install anything.
What happened is I rooted my phone and removed one too many system apps, now it won't boot up anymore. How can I get this tool to reinstall the same software I already have? Do I need to wipe it completely? Please help me out, I'm afraid I'll make it worse if I try anything else.

I have made this tutorial due to me not finding any other tutorials on fixing the problem presented in this guide. Dear admins if there is another guide on how to fix this problem please feel free to do what you must to this thread. Thank You
First of all is if you have the security error problem on your phone I can assure you that it is NOT bricked and can be fixed.
Also I am not and will not be accountable if this guide does not fix your phone. I also will not and should not be held accountable if this guide is to further damage anything of your phone.
PROCEED WITH CAUTION; Please Pre-Read this guide and understand it before proceeding.
Okay so I will guide you through on how to fix the security error problem most people have on their LG devices. I had encountered this problem on my friends LG MS769 (Optimus L9 – MetroPCS). This guide should work for mostly any LG phone.
This happened to me when I was flashing a custom recovery for the phone. I had successfully rooted the phone using a guide located at:
androidforums.com/optimus-l9-all-things-root/759935-how-root-metropcs-l9-lgms769.html
By following the above guide you will be able to successfully root and install SuperSU on you LG MS769. But keep in mind that even though it will root the phone is will NOT, I don’t know how to emphasis this as much, it will NOT: Unlock the BootLoader, Flash a custom recovery, or let you install a Custom Rom.
But let us come back the topic at hand. Okay so to fix this problem we will need the following.
LG Mobile Support Tool -- B2CAppSetup.exe -- Attached
A reliable Internet Connection
A computer with Windows XP/Vista/7/8 – (Untested on Windows 8)
TIME and PATIENCE --- We will be downloading a file about 500MB give or take some.
Okay let us begin in our endeavors of fixing our problems.
First use the below download link to download the LG Mobile Support Tool
After downloading that place it on your desktop and run it as administrator
After you run B2CAppSetup.exe it should automatically open the Mobile Support Tool, if not there should be a new .exe created on the desktop called LGMobile Support Tool just double click and open that.
Let the program update and install any necessary files that it requires. (It should automatically start to update and install, it should just prompt you with a UAC window)
Once you see the program open, click on the Install USB Driver button on the top left-hand side
Then a new window will come up asking for you for the phones carrier and the phones model number.
Once you are successfully done installing the drivers, we can proceed to the restoration process of the phone
Okay now we need to put the phone in S/W Upgrade Mode.
a.Remove phone battery, if it does not have a removable battery make sure phone is off
b.While holding down the VOLUME (DOWN or UP or BOTH) BUTTON(S) insert the microUsb in the phone while also having the USB side connected to the computer already. (To enter S/W mode it varies phone to phone which volume buttons must be pressed, try all three options)
Once the phone is in S/W Upgrade Mode the computer will start to install the drivers and the LG Mobile Support Tool will automatically detect it and start the restore process
a.Keep in mind that this process takes its time and should more than likely complete successfully giving you a working phone
b.NOTE: I have read some people calming that the process gets stuck at 4% and does not go on. If it does happen to get stuck at any percentage let it stay there for a while and see if it does go on, if not I would recommend retrying once on the same computer and if it still does not work I would give a second recommendation to try on another computer. Other than that I would suggest you contact you phone carrier or LG.
If all goes well you should have a fully functioning factory restored LG phone. Congratulations!!!!
Hope this guide was of help and I wish you best of luck in your further endeavors. :good:[/QUOTE

Hi izhar_ulhaq, if you don't unlock the bootloader, you can't flash a custom recovery nor install a custom rom.
Cheers. Good luck.

Help! The LG Mobile Support Tool is frozen at "Analyzing phone setting..." and I am at the S/W Upgrade screen.
I forgot to unlock the bootloader before installing custom recovery..
how to fix lg security error issue
yup i did just that now my phone works fine i have a metropcs lg ms770 the only thing peoploe should realize is that it takes time the computer tells you its updating and its done but when you check your phone it's really back to the same issue . you guys need to try it couple of times if it dosent work the computer needs to make that connection in order to run perfect if theres no connection theres no udate keep that in mind peace......

Is it working? My phone is in S/W Upgrade mode, but I don't see any upload bar anywhere
Background:
I originally had CWM and custom rom install on my phone. I decided to install a new rom, but the installation failled and Aroma installer kicked me out of recovery. I have no way re-entering recovery, so I used Smart Flasher and the correct ROM to flash the phone back. And now I'm stuck at Security Error.
Hello everyone,
I will share my experience with you, and I hope for a solution!
A few days ago I rooted my Lenovo tab 2 A10-30 successfully using Kingroot. Then, I tried to change Kinguser with SuperSU, which I also successfully did. However, I noticed that although the main root app was SuperSU, Kingroot was still on my phone, so I deleted it using a bloatware removal app and restarted the tablet. Now it won't turn on. It gets stuck at the Lenovo loading screen, and that's about it. When I press the power button + volume down button, it gets me to a Chinese menu that is not the recovery mode (there is no MMC, just options about voloume, colors, mic test etc). If I press the volume up+ volume down + power button, it just brightens the screen and shows nothing.
I tried flashing the stock ROM using the Smart Phone Flash Tool, but the PC does not recognize fully the tablet (it just prompts me to install the Lenovo USB drivers, and I cannot access the tablet's internal storage). Moreover, the Lenovo windows applications do not recognize the tablet when I connect it to the PC.
I really do hope that there is a way I can fix it.. Thank you all in advance.
Hi,
I did almost exactly the same... Kingroot, tried to remove bloatware with another app, and ended up with a bricked tablet I can still access the bootloader, but flashing the tablet from there is to no avail.
I am still looking for the original ROM, which seems nowhere to be found. Did you, by any chance, make a backup first?
Another one here But I'am able to go into recovery and into adb sideload, from there I can view internal memory(/system). And it looks like system is trying to load supersu-daemon which was removed and it can't get past that. I tried to recover paths (to original ones), but it still wont go past loading screen. (it is just restarting the app_process32).
Now if we only could get the hold on original factory firmware... from there one we can sideload it via fastboot.
And for the drivers you need andorid usb drivers https://developer.android.com/studio/run/win-usb.html#top
TLDR; we are looking for TB2-X30F_USR_S000015_1601151950_Q8009_ROW_qpst.zip
So, I have spent about 5 hours attempting to find a way to dump the firmware without first rooting the device, so that I could share it with you guys (and have a backup for myself in case I attempt to root it myself.) Unfortunately it seems like it needs to be rooted before I can create a nandroid backup through adb. Unfortunately the tablet is not based on mtk, and I cannot find any qualcomm utils that can dump the firmware.
The one Qualcomm util I found (QFIL) seems like it is only for flashing, and for backing up some individual data for the tablet (I assume it may contain such as license keys for the commercial features in the recent phones such as Sony Xperia Z3). I also looked into fastboot, and that too can only flash a new firmware.
So, unless the tablet gets rooted I don't see any way to make a proper backup.
I am unable to post links in messages, so you need to do some manual editing.

It might also be available www DOT fars-gsm DOT com/75531-tb2-x30f_usr_s000015_1601151950_q8009_row_qpst-zip.html, at least they list the changelog for the firmware.
Since I have no use for a firmware right now, I will not be buying access to one (unless I at some point manage to brick mine as well). But if anyone decides to do so, please share it so others can enjoy it as well. I also suspect that if the file was available, it would increase the probability of someone attempting to make a custom rom at some point as well, it is a very cheap tablet when on sale, so it should have good potential for a community.
PS: I also stumbled over something called vRoot, that might be an alternative to Kingroot, although I have no idea whether it is as good at rooting and not installing unwanted extra apps. I guess someone who has used it on a tablet/phone that has a backup available might be able to shed some light on that.

This is the QFIL (Qualcomm Flash something system) mode, however I do now know whether that helps anything at all. Since it seems to me it probably wont accept the TB2-X30F_USR_S000015_1601151950_Q8009_ROW_qpst.zip file mentioned in the thread. It seems to expect some xml file, maybe the zip file contains that?
Hi guys i have been strugling with this unit The last 3 days. I have eksakt same problem. I found these files: lenovo-forums.ru/files/category/106-прошивки-lenovo-tab-2-a10-30/
I extracted Them but dont know how to flash Them ?? Hope u guys Can help (sorry for bad english)

[PUT ROM TEMPORARILY HERE: https://www.wetransfer.com/download...024ee2974a44f8aa50e3dcd120160615184237/a84735 ]
Wow, suddenly action! With the help of Dead2 and Andersbp I have made some progress. Here are my steps:
I purchased the ROM from the Iranian site, and downloaded the other from the Russian forum. So now I have 2 ROMs:
65M TB2-X30F_S000015_160115_ROW_TO_TB2-X30F_S000016_160602_ROW_WCA72E4AB5.zip (Russian)
1.1G TB2-X30F_USR_S000015_1601151950_Q8009_ROW_qpst.zip (Iranian)
The smaller one is simply an update, which you could install easily:
1) boot into Recovery Mode
2) select "Apply Update from ADB"
3) run: adb sideload TB2-X30F_S000015_160115_ROW_TO_TB2-X30F_S000016_160602_ROW_WCA72E4AB5.zip
Which works... UNLESS YOU ROOTED THE DEVICE. Then it fails, and does not want to update. Thanks Lenovo
So, the larger one is a different type of ROM. This one will not load with adb sideload (gives footprint and signature error). But it DOES contain all the files to flash with QFIL (Qualcomm Flash something system).
Here I'm stuck. I followed this guide:
http://guidebelajar.blogspot.nl/2016/03/guide-how-to-flash-firmware-lenovo-vibe-p1.html
and tried to install these packages:
1) You must download and install USB Driver for Lenovo on your windows computer or PC.
2) QPST-2.7.422-qfil-qcom-Upgrade-Tool-20140422
3) Download Qualcomm HSUSB USB COM Drivers
(Note that you need to register and log in to needrom.com FIRST. Then click the link, but it will give an access error. Remove all in the URL after needrom.com (so go back to the main site), then go back to the download link, and it will work - the file is there.)
1) and 2) install pretty fine, but 3) is just a zip with a lot of drivers, no installer. I have no clue on how to install the proper driver...
Furthermore, the site suggests to install something on the device itself:
5) Create a folder with the name sdfuse in the root of the SD-card phone
6) Put the qsb-firmware (file with the extension .qsb) in the folder sdfuse.
Here I have 2 problems: First, my device does not boot, so I cannot create/copy files. Seconly: I cannot find qsb-firmware.qsb anywhere...
@ Dead2: How did you go through these steps?

Ok, I used a LenovoUsbDriver_v1.0.12.exe driver installer, and that includes the HSUSB drivers needed, and I can confirm that windows recognizes the tablet as being in HSUSB mode with those. Whether QFIL does I have not tested.

After you get past installing the HSUSB driver, you are officially the one that has gotten furthest on this.

I tried that one too, but to no avail When I try to execute the executable, it ask for administrator permission, and after that vanishes...
I am running Windows 8, 64 bit. You?
Other question: when is your tablet recognised by Windows? Also in Recovery Mode?
Thanks!

Press the Volume Up button and keep holding it while connecting it to the computer/laptop using USB cable.
Lenovo Vibe P1 will vibrate one time, and you will see black screen.
You need to hold in VOLUME UP AND VOLUME DOWN AND POWER button at same time. Until you see

Yep, its at the bottom of my first post also, found that out by accident while trying to get into the normal recovery.
Now, hopefully someone will want to port TWRP and CM13 or Paranoid to this tablet
Doh i did not see that Dead2
Thanks everybody together we defeated the problem !
SUPER! Succes here as well! The trick was indeed to hold both vol UP and DOWN
Now: brand-new unrooted device
Thanks
Btw: I noticed that the rom from Andersbp is a TB2-X30L rather than the TB2-X30F. I used my F file (paid for it, dammit ), and that one also works well.
I am currently checking if I can modify the stock ROM to enable root / mult-user. Any hints?
Nice zwartoog !
I Can root with kingroot.. Are there better alternatives ? Kingroot is Full of bloatware

Noo, no Kingroot. That's where all the disasters began. It is full of bloatware. Trying to uninstall Kingroot lead to bricking the device
Personally I am only interested in re-enabling the multi-user feature from lollipop. WHICH IS FOR SOME REASON DISABLED BY LENOVO Even when rooted and modifying the system/build.prop did not re-enable it.
I'm giving up now. At least I have a workable device. Restored pride. And more important: 3 happy kids
I think the TB2-X30L is the LTE version of the tablet, while the TB2-X30F is the wifi-only version. If correct, then there should be no problem
when using the LTE on a non-LTE model, but the other way around could potentially cause LTE to not work. The LTE firmware might have some
extra apps and settings enabled to cater to this ability, but it might also be completely identical. Btw, what does the model information say
after being flashed with the L firmware? In any case it is useful to know that they are cross-compatible, since sometimes there can be differences
in chipsets or screens that can cause minor or major problems.
As I mentioned earlier, another root alternative to kingroot seems to be vRoot, but I have not tried it myself. But now that it is possible to
recover a bricked tablet, it is also less risky to test such things.
BTW: Please remember to use the "Thanks!" button on posts you find helpful, I have tried to do so myself on the posts that I find helpful

If your problem is not solved try the latest version of kingroot. It should root almost all samsung devices.
Link are just below. Its one tap root app. No PC needed.

Tried it, no go.
I've rooted the s4, the original Kindle fire, some weird Motorola photon, both Nexus 7s, htc 8 & 9. All required unlocking the bootloader. Not sure how to do that with this phone. I turned on adb debugging, oem boot unlock.. I remember with the s4 I had to load a crap ton of stuff in kies... then something else to reset the knox flag.
The phone only has 8 gigs of internal storage, 5 of which is used up by the os. Not all games/apps want to move to the SD card and because Sammy decided that no one would like the option to have s spanned file system between internal and external storage, it has become somewhat useless. Xposed with obb on SD is the cure, but I need twrp and su.
I can't get this thing to even go to fast boot.. that just reboots the phone. Download I'd nominally more useful, but it wants files. Recovery allows adb side load.. that's about it.
It's a nice cheap phone, but I have just been avoiding manufacturers who lock the thing down, so I'm way out of the loop. Any pointers are welcome.

I've tried everything I know of. Thanks for keeping up with this page. Lets keep it alive, this is the only thread in existence that i've seen so far.
Isn't a rebrand of the Samsung j1? Maybe the instructions for rooting that would work for you guys I could be wrong but it was a thought when I seen this thread

I just had to give it a try myself, even though two other people claimed it didn't work. And they are right, it claims your phone is rooted, but it's not. Very aggravating. If it can't be rooted, it just can't be rooted....but why the heck does SRSroot claim their software will do it when in fact it will NOT?
I'm just disappointed if it can't be rooted, but it makes me angry to be lied to. And SRSroot lied. Makes me wonder exactly what their software actually put on my PC....since they can't be trusted. Now I have to waste even more time scanning and scrubbing my PC for whatever malware they wanted to install with their bogus software that does not work. And if it doesn't do what it claims to do, exactly what is it doing? No telling what their bogus software put on my phone, because it sure didn't root it. Despite claiming it did.

Dunno... I've seen references to j100a-h, j120a/sm-j120a seems different (not dual-sim, exynos processor).. dunno if the others are gsm-based.
Haven't seen any firmware replacements in case loading the partitions (or whatever Kies does) above through Kies is flat out wrong and messes with the radio.
My knowledge with Sammy's internals is rather lacking, and until that specific at&t model has a stable root (and twrp would be nice) I'm going to be a chicken about this.
I saw king root had a new release. May try that again. Will message if it's working.
you can try to root it from computer.. i ever heard about geniusroot.. but i never try it, hope this will work for you
i asked my best friend who knows alot more then i ever thought of and he said the best bet with the new samsungs is king root like yall have been trying or a program called iroot he talked about developer settings on the phone called oem unlock and usb debugging and download mode being volume down + home + power in his text message I think if you could get into download mode you should be able to use tools like odin or adb to push a recovery or get root access but that might take a developer or someone with more knowledge to use ota tools and dump a boot image and build a custom recovery or some advanced **** like that if someone hasnt already I'm sure xda university could turn up detailed steps to porting clockworkmod for now I guess its a waiting game for yall till more ppl end up with these devices in hand and some free time i included some files you may need with a grain of salt to get anyone started that turned up from a quick search for your device

Yes, if I could fastboot flash recovery twrp.img/cwm.img that would make life easier. However, the bootloader is locked, and generally one must unlock it... I cant even figure out how to get the phone to respond in fastboot mode.
I turned on adb debugging, and I can adb shell, adb push, adb reboot bootloader (which just reboots the phone), adb reboot recovery (which allows sideloading.. I think), and adb reboot download, which seemed the most useful.
I can't set adb to root, I can't mount system r/w so I can place/flash su/supersu.
Latest KingRoot did not work, havent seen iRoot before, looks like you have an md5 of the boot image in there, instead of the actual image...
Yeah. I'm clueless about this one. I'm sure its something stupidly easy.
i dont have the device so I cant hand it off to my friend or i would also i was wrong about the j1 as someone said but i do belive the amp 2 but searching specs the amp 2 looks to be a sister phone you might wanna keep up with the root options that may pop up for that only thing i was told was enabling usb debugging and the oem unlock option first in the developer settings like in the screenshot from that phone id look into maybe frama or towel that might work from the phone side idk just trying to help

Hey bro we appreciate the insight, we've tried this as a collective but to no avail yet. Our best bet is to keep trying different things until we come up with a working batch file unless kingo comes up with something. Thank you all for keeping the thread alive
Hi there... I just bought an MLS MORE 4G (iQL50) and there is great need of rooting it. I tried Kingo Root with no success. KingRoot too. I do have about a week of returning the smarthphone back to the shop but since its 16GB internal memory is so helpful, it would be nice to keep it, if rooting is possible without damaging something.
Specs for this particular phone are:
OS: Android 6
CPU: QuadCore 1GHz MTK6735P 64bit
RAM: 2 GB
Int.Memory: 16 GB
SIM Type: 2 x micro-SIM
Thanx in advance :good:

This is the url to download cwm+scatter file+flash tool.
Mega NZ folder
You will need also the supersu zip from Chainfire from the site: https://download.chainfire.eu/696/supersu
The procedure:
Backup your data just in case.
Copy the supersu.zip on your internal memory.
Open the SP flashtool and browse the Scatter file on Scatter-loading, click on the recovery image the tick and on the right side it says Location, click on the empty green space on the recovery line and select the morecwm.img
Power off your phone
Press the Download button and connect the phone on your computer, after it completes and you get the Green download ok remove the cable
Press Vol+ and Power buttons and select the Recovery from the list.
Press install zip from sdcard and find the supersu.zip and flash it.
Clear Cache and Dalvik Cache and reboot the phone.
If it says that the device is not rooted when you press the reboot system just ignore it and press No, your phone is rooted.
It might reboot 1-2 times and it will probably take long time to boot.
If you need drivers go over THIS site and download the latest drivers. Install them and you are set.
Ok. Now I am in the middle of the whole process
Press the Download button and connect the phone on your computer
but I am waiting for more than half an hour to see anything. No progress bar or something.
Though, there is a folder on the PC with some logs
BROM_DLL_V5.log keep growing its size...
Now what?
Update: A timeout error came up!

Your phone is powered off right?
Try to download and install the drivers I told you on the previous post.
Yes, phone was powered off. I installed the drivers, rebooted, then did what I did. But strangely, when connected my powered off phone, windows tries to install an "MTP USB Device" with no luck.

Try with the SP flashtool open and the Download waiting connect the phone when its powered off.
Get the battery out and try again, it has to install the driver. When it does it will download the recovery.
When the phones is powered off it shouldn't recognise it as MTP USB Device.
Otherwise, power on the phone, plug it and let it install the first drivers and later power it off and try again.

Hello mate, you have just to enable and connect to a WiFi network and update your device via the "MLS Updater" app which is already installed in your phone.
Otherwise you have to disable chrome from settings-apps-chrome. The push notifications and advertisements are a chrome safety issue because the chrome app was pre-installed and is missing important component updates.
So, try the MLS updader or disable the pre-installed chrome and download again from playstore.
Hope that it helps

The only option play store gives is to enable chrome again, and update it. I don't think this could work...
