Guest Mtman1 Posted July 23, 2012 Report Share Posted July 23, 2012 Can't you just put the superuser app and binary in the update before flashing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted July 23, 2012 Report Share Posted July 23, 2012 This xolo rom is much better, smoother, no bloat, it has notification toggles too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest PaulOBrien Posted July 23, 2012 Report Share Posted July 23, 2012 remember that test ics rom that paul uploaded i think i saw a recovery.dat in that with i think is a un secured recovey so if we flashed it we mite be able to root this thing The recoveries (and everything else) in the test updates are unsigned and therefore unusable. Paul where are you ?? Here, watching. :) I realised we'd be able to use Xolo updates when the boot.bin fixed my dead phone (as mentioned above) and while this is good news for a more unbranded experience, it doesn't help root unfortunately!

Guest The Soup Thief Posted July 23, 2012 Report Share Posted July 23, 2012 This may not help with root, but it appears to help with simlock - jikobutsu, do you have a non-orange / t-mo sim to confirm this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest shootomanUK Posted July 23, 2012 Report Share Posted July 23, 2012 (edited) This may be nothing but ive been googling how to root the lenovo k800 as it uses the same cpu, anyway i came across a discussion on some chinese forums which i translated in google. anyway someone asked lenovo for root help and they sent them a guide which i downloaded (in chinese of course) i also translated with google. so if someone with the knowhow could try this and let us now if it works it would be great . not sure if im allowed to share the link but here it is: other link: http://www.sendspace.com/file/6679dz Edited July 23, 2012 by shootomanUK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest The Soup Thief Posted July 23, 2012 Report Share Posted July 23, 2012 (edited) @shootomanUK - that has to be the sketchiest place to upload those files I ever saw - felt dirty just accessing them... I virus checked them obv and couldn't find anything unpleasant - they are a couple of identical word files (one is .doc , the other .docx) which contain a series of screenshots explaining how to use the HTC Android Kitchen 1.69 by dsixda There is what appears to be a Chinese translation of this, with directions on how to apply it I used Word to give a rough translation from the Chinese script in the document and it simply was a set of simple directions to use the program I'm assuming you need the kitchen software which is probably a hacked version of the original HTC version The website it all comes from is www.fengbao.com - they do a lot of HTC stuff and support a few other brands, but I didn't see any coverage of Lenovo stuff there In the word files I didn't see any reference to Lenovo or any mobile devices other than HTC Home I'm proven wrong but this doesn't show any signs of having anything to do with anything here!

Guest Posted July 23, 2012 Report Share Posted July 23, 2012 Is it possible that htc kitchen may do it I wonder.......I said before that it is possible that intel approached one of the others like samsung or htc on how to lock bootloader, maybe using the same methods?
