LENOVO A8-A5500HV S029 Update (Final official update from Lenovo)


My favorite Tablet with 3G Voice/SMS/Data /WiFi but too bad it stopped at Android 4.4.2 KitKat updates only. No hope for Lollipop unlike ASUS models that came out the same time as this model.
Powered by MTK8382 QuadCore 1.3Ghz SoC is sufficient for its task. But it has decent specs unlike the later model Tab2 A7-30 which has poor camera specs even though it is on Lollipop now.

Lenovo A5500-F - Wi-Fi only (Mediatek MT8121)
Lenovo A5500-H - Wi-Fi + 3G (Data only)
Lenovo A5500-HV - Wi-Fi + 3G (Voice)

                             Recovery firmware SPFlashTool+ TWRP / HV only plus update S029

A8-5500F only KitKat firmware MT8121 cannot use on HV

A CHEAP BUT POPULAR MODEL ! LENOVO A369i Dual Core MTK 6572

Not to be confused with the clone A369 (without the "i") that is a clone phone having only 256Mb RAM as reported by some users. This original Lenovo phone has a small 512Mb not enough by todays power users standard but  good enough as gift for grandmothers/mothers/grandpa for their use. With root access some of the apps can be removed. Done that with the ROOT.zip for A369i.
This is an original ROW/WW version S201. in SPFlash Tool format and have to manually root by Vroot before installing TWRP and then install Root package and it will remove the Chinese Root.

LENOVO A880 _A889 MT6582 JellyBean 4.2.9


Both model are nearly identical in the firmwares with only a small exception the A880 has a 5Mp main camera and  A889 has 8Mp main camera the rest are the same and the TWRP can be shared between them and also the modem files can also be shared. The A889 factory ROM modem file has the tendency to loose IMEI/Baseband after flashing so it was swapped with the A880 modem file to ensure that it doesnt loose IMEI/Baseband.
This is an updated version update to SuperSU2.48.
