We read this topic about getting root on Lenovo ThinkPad Tablet:
Brief instructions for those who are too lazy to translate:
1. Check if you have the latest ADB driver installed and that the device has USB debugging enabled.
How to install the driver and enable debug mode is written here .
2. Download to the PC root exploit from here .
3. Verify that the Lenovo ThinkPad Tablet is turned on, connected to the PC via USB and its screen is unlocked.
4. Unzip the archive on the PC and run “run.bat”. Follow the instructions on the screen and do not press anything on the tablet until the installation is completed.
Voila!
From myself: during the installation segmentation fault occurs, but there is nothing to worry about, as indicated in the batch file:
echo [*] Note: a segmentation fault is supposed to happen and should not be ignored.
As it turns out, installing root is not enough. We must still be able to save it with future system updates!
If you, after installing root, perform a software update on the version ..0039_0089_ROW, then you will lose root.
To avoid this, read carefully the topic , and do everything that is written there.
Brief instruction:
1. Install root on your ThinkPad Tablet using an exploit as described above.
2. Check that the Superuser application is installed ( download and install )
3. Install the Voodoo OTA RootKeeper application ( download and install )
4. Start RootKeeper and create a superuser backup.
5. In the same RootKeeper execute “Temp. un-root (keeps backup) ”(Temporary unroot) and you will receive the Restore Root option.
6. Go to Settings / About Tablet / Check for Updates, check and install the update ... 0039_0089_ROW. The update takes about 7 minutes.
7. After the update, check that you have the Superuser application installed. If not, install it from the Android Market.
8. Open RootKeeper and select Restore Root.
9. Congratulations. If you did everything right. then you have the latest update (the so-called OTA2) and running root.
2. If you have already updated to ... 0039_0089_ROW, but did not have time to root, or forgot to do ...
... then the above installation instructions for root will not work, because Lenovo has eliminated the hole.
But it does not matter, there is still an opportunity to install root!
Carefully read this topic , but rather this one at once .
For the most unreadable in English:
1. Downloading.lenovo.com/slates/think/tablet1 download the OLDEST update (for TPT with ROW firmware this is: ThinkPadTablet_A310_02_0024_0065_ROW.zip )
2. Write it to the SD card and shove it into the tablet.
3. In the settings, we enable USB debugging: [Settings-> Applications-> Developmnet-> USB Debugging]
4. Download the archive from here and unpack it.
Attention!
There should be a small digression. The original patch works not quite right. It really allows you to get root, but does not allow it to be installed permanently due to an error.
Carefully read this topic , especially page 4, there is almost the correct file pwn-in.sh, or download the archive from here (there is a corrected pwn-in.sh). All corrections come down to replacing mv src dest with cat src> dest , and properly replacing mv /system/app/Superuser.apk / data / local / pwn-bak with cat /system/app/Superuser.apk> / data / local / pwn-bak / Superuser.apk .
I did all the commands after getting root just stupidly manually typed in the adb shell.
5. Install (if not already done) Lenovo device driver
6. Connect the tablet.
7. Boot into Recovery mode for what:
- turn off the tablet, turn it on, and start pressing the “Volume up” button 1-2 times per second several times.
- as soon as a white inscription or an android icon appears, we stop pressing and wait for Recovery mode to load
- Navigate the menu using the volume buttons. Item selection - Power button
- if everything worked out, we reboot into normal mode.
- go to the PC in the directory where the exploit is unpacked, run run.bat and follow the instructions.
The instruction is the simplest, in the style of "press Enter, reboot the device." You only need to perform it correctly.
At the end of all actions, you get root on the latest software version (the so-called OTA2), and for the future, do not forget to use Rootkeeper before installing updates .
Successes!
PS: And yes! Everything that you do - you do at your own peril and risk.
