I used KingRoot (ver 4.8.2) to root my Lenovo Tab2 A8-50F Tablet. I used KingRoot as part of a SuperTool. The SuperTool, using a batchfile script, also removed KingRoot after the tablet was rooted and then installed SuperSU. The SuperTool (April 6, 2016 version) was created by xda's RootJunky for the Amazon Fire 7 5th gen tablet, using KingRoot and SuperSU, but it rooted my Lenovo Tab2 A8-50F Tablet, uninstalled KingRoot and installed SuperSU, all with only a couple of mouse clicks. Even if you are already rooted with KingRoot, you can use this tool to uninstall KingRoot and install SuperSU. (Just run the tool, let it re-install KingRoot, don't run KingRoot but hit Enter on the SuperTool to then uninstall KingRoot and install SuperSU). Lenovo Tab2 A8-50F Tablet info: Model Number: Lenovo TAB 2 A8-50F Android version: 5.1 Kernel version: 3.10.65 Build number: A8-50F_S000037_151023_ROW Software version: A8-50F_151023 Hardware version; LenovoPad A8-50F The SuperTool batch file script rooted the tablet with KingRoot and then uninstalled KingRoot and installed SuperSu. I have since installed ES File Manager, Titanium Backup, Link2sd on the tablet. Root is totally working. Rooted with only a couple of clicks! Just enable Developer options on Lenovo Tab2 A8-50F (by tapping tablet Build Number 7 to 10 times [Settings, About Tablet, Build Number (tap 7 to 10 times)]), enable USB debugging on Tablet in the Developer options settings. Connect Tablet to Windows 10 with a USB data cable (I used the USB 2.0 port). When screen message on the Tablet mentions connections, make sure it is in the MTP mode. Extract RootJunky's SuperTool Zip file to the Windows 10 desktop. Run RootJunky's SuperTool (Amazon-Fire-5th-gen.bat) You may have to read the instructions on the pages below and install adb drivers. Pick option #6 Root. Choose Option #3: version 5.1.2. This will run a script that installs KingRoot, allows you to run it manually, and then removes KingRoot and installs SuperSU. Press enter and KingRoot will be installed on the Tablet from the SuperTool. (approve any messages that appear on Tablet screen) Now don't touch the PC SuperTool until the Tablet is rooted. Open KingRoot on the Tablet and run it. You may have to run KingRoot several times and the Tablet may reboot. Just keep running KingRoot until the Tablet is rooted. After KingRoot reaches 100%, then press ENTER on the PC. The SuperTool will now uninstall KingRoot and install SuperSU on the Tablet. Choose NORMAL SuperSU install on the Tablet when prompted. When SuperSU is installed, reboot the Tablet. Disconnect data cable. After reboot the Lenovo Tab2 A8-50F Tablet is rooted. There will be a request by SuperSU to upgrade. Approve it. You can now install Titanium Backup, Link2sd, ES File Manager, etc. Your Tablet is rooted. As easy as that. THANKS ROOTJUNKY!!!

Kingroot is needed to root the tablet. Then SuperSu is used to manage the rooted tablet, granting root status to other apps that require it. But you need to run Kingroot to get the tablet rooted.
Install adb on your pc, and download twrp from forum.androidurdu.net/thread-674-post-2222.html#pid2222 Then run these commands: adb reboot bootloader fastboot flash boot "" And then hold power+volume up You can install the img in twrp to permanently replace stock recovery Most things work, I wasn't able to flash a rom tho, but it just could be that the roms don't work with this specific model
If you have probs like me try version 4.5.0 of kingroot
Thanx my man..this 4.5.0 really works on my stubborn unit..forget others method...

Can you make a video, please!? 😃😃😃

Kingroot is needed to root the tablet. Then SuperSu is used to manage the rooted tablet, granting root status to other apps that require it. But you need to run Kingroot to get the tablet rooted.
it's now rooted but I tried to install supersu it says failed to install what did you do to get it working?
On XDA Forums they have a utility that removes KingRoot and installs SuperSu.
it worked! thanks
You could've just shared the link. The rest of the video is complete nonsense.
bro 😑 i dont like sharing my voice and i didnt know why it didnt show the link First weeks it did
This video is outdated af and probably doesn’t work anymore
I'll try this out :)
Shame. I was gonna post a video of the exact same method of rooting the Lenovo Tab 2 A8. Useless now.
Anyone know how to get recovery though?
Install adb on your pc, and download twrp from forum.androidurdu.net/thread-674-post-2222.html#pid2222
Then run these commands:
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot flash boot ""
And then hold power+volume up
You can install the img in twrp to permanently replace stock recovery
Most things work, I wasn't able to flash a rom tho, but it just could be that the roms don't work with this specific model
