I guess you have to flash the original recovery then try it if still no results then use use ota rootkeeper (or similar app) to hide root before update if that still does not work remove root through Supersu settings and then try it lenovo has really made this model such that you can not get root easily therefore they must be checking for root before updates after that use the default steps for rooting above .
Above all check your lenovo and see that it is a3500 HV and not simply h or f as the kernel are different
No when you are flash a boot.IMG or recovery.IMG you need not do a backup and while flashing through CWM with the official update you need not since there are scripts in it to transfer the imei or so I guess but but since you are rooted its always best to do one because adding an imei number is more difficult than a restore and the process takes a few seconds and only needs about 120 bytes (you can backup a billion of those and still not run out of space
Better safe than sorry....lol

thank you again
Yes my tablet is a3500 hv and i have the FW 4.4.2.....35 which is the same as .....37 except the lenovo launcher
So i am satisfied with it and waiting if new update arrives i will restore the original recovery
I think there is no more update will land here except if android L is the next one..i dont think so

Great but did you root your tablet after you got the 4.4.2 update or before I tried the update and the same error 7 guess need stock recovery also i will be posting a tutorial on how to capture official update links that does not require logcat and only requires to install two software and an app. Found this method while trying to capture offnline setup from online installer (in windows 7 when you use a online setup it quietly downloads a offline setup and then installs it and after installation deletes it I found a way how to capture the link so in that method I use the reverse tethering to take internet from the computer and then capture the link from the computer...lol) Will make a thread in the next two days.

excellent it is new idea
I am waiting your tutorial
I received 5 updates for my tab..three of them is 4.4.2 after i update the 35 version i found the root method above ..flashing cwm recovery then install superiser.zip.
After that i get small update 9.22mb that will replace lenovo launcher and change the build number to 37 ..but cant install it and give me error 7
I catch the update.zip from ggogleota folder and transfer to my external sdcard and try to flash it after toggle sg verification and also toggle assert ...
But also give me installation aborted
I stop trying and i have now original recovery downloaded in my tablet and ready for any new update lol

Dear anandisrocking007 thank you for enormous effort on rooting lenovo A3500.
I confused if I can use your procedures for my lenovo A7-50 A3500H_A422_01_23_140404_TR, chipset mt8382 , 4.2.2 (update ready but not installed to 4.4.2).
I would like to use phone specification of tablet while I install my SIM card to access internet.
Also I had problem to install MTK driver to use flashtool for CWM recovery.
Thanks in advance for your help.

Your version is H not HV (Different Hardware well about 95% same) use thisk link- http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/development/guide-lenovo-a3500-h-t2879208
The kernal might be different so be carefull if you are using this recovery in this thread though the probability of the there being problem for the recovery is low if any problem please contact me and if you want a CWM recovery for the following device just sent me the recovery.img
As for rooting you can use tis update zip it is going to work for over 99% of the mobile in the world
As for the problem for the driver use the tutorial for the installing drivers in windows 8 if you are using that version of windows 8 for me the drivers worked perfectly if not disable the antivirus its 100% not a virus and also you need to be in admin account when you install the driver and not in the guest account.....
At december or so i would be making Philz touch recovery which is a modified and better recovery image based upon CWM recovery
If any more problem feel free to contact me.....:victory::victory:

Good work, i was trying to find a proper TWRP for my Realme 6 Pro from lasat week.
Until now i was able to flash updates or downgrades just via Realme Flash Tool.
Do we still need to flash vbmeta_v2 in order for TWRP to work properly?
Testing now.
Update:
It does need the OF_avb-patcher.zip tp be flashed in order to keep TWRP after restart and to decrypt MPT storage and phone corectly.
I did not flashed it and all the time got stuck in a boot loop and TWRP and all phone remained encrypted, was not able to do anything until i flashed Stock Rom via Realme Flash Tool.
Disclaimer: Flashing Stock Rom will make TWRP gone, to preserve it, follow the steps:
1. Flash Stock ROM .ozip
2. Flash patched-vbmeta-v2.img
3. Flash TWRP from above link
4. Flash OF_avb_patcher.zip
6. Flash Magisk via TWRP (If required)
7. Done

Please provide screenshots of your problem. I assume that you are trying to copy files to an encrypted internal storage. Decrypt /data or copy files to SD card

Is this compatible with build number RMX2061_11_A.35? Thank you!

Can't delete file from phone with root explorer so i tried with TWRP as usualy and for the first time IT DOESNT WORK!! Never seen that before. Though system's not mounted as read only. What to do..?

Do nothing. vendor, product and system partitions are R/O, because they are part of new type partition named "super". It is dynamic partition that is not editable.

Which recovery have to use?

@Murad Ali Perhaps it would be a good idea to correct the first post? The installation steps do not apply to this ROM at all, since it's a fastboot ROM...
@prashant.palange None. As mentioned above, it is a fastboot ROM. It's installed via fastboot (so needs PC) and includes two batch files for installation. If coming from a stable MiuiMix ROM version, you can use the "update" one, if from weekly (or if you want to do a clean install anyway), then use the "install with data format" one, but bear in mind this one (quite obviously) formats your data partition INCLUDING internal storage, so backup everything you want to keep beforehand.

good but this is not fastboot file. regular zip.

@Murad Ali The link in your post leads to the fastboot install .zip archive you get from official MiuiMix sources (it's literally the same link). It even says "fastboot" right there in the archive filename. It is not a ROM that installs via recovery, because there is no fully working recovery for Android 12. You unpack the zip on a PC and install the ROM via fastboot (which is even included in the archive, along with the installation batch files, so the installation is as straightforward as possible).
I'm frankly kinda surprised you seem to have no idea what you have linked here (and made a thread for).

sorry i am not a developer. I liked and shared the rom, if there is a mistake it will be corrected. Also, the link says it's a fastboot rom.

@Murad Ali Well, like I already said, there's indeed a mistake, in that basically the entire first post with all the info on how to flash the ROM is wrong. Pretty much none of what is mentioned there applies, it's all meant for a recovery ROM update, whereas this one is a fasboot ROM update.
Here's what the second part of the first post should look like (for example - feel free to use it if you want):
Pre-requisities:
Unlocked bootloader
PC with unpacked contents of the .zip archive you've downloaded, including folder structure (important)
Custom recovery is not needed for this ROM! You will not be using it at all! At the time of this writing, there is no fully working Android 12 custom recovery, none of them can decrypt an encrypted data partition. If you have custom recovery currently installed on your phone, it will however not be affected by the ROM install/update procedure (but it will still not be able to decrypt an encrypted data partition).
Clean Flash (If you are installing from scratch, coming from another ROM or you are changing between stable and weekly builds):
Backup all the data from your phone you don't want to lose, including the internal storage (photos, messages e.g.) The install process will do a complete wipe of your data including your internal storage! (External SD should be fine.)
Boot your phone into fastboot (bootloader) mode
Connect the phone to PC (make sure you have the correct drivers installed for fastboot mode)
Run the "fastboot_first_install_with_data_format" script/batch for your platform (windows/linux/macos).
The ROM will now be flashed to the phone automatically and then a factory reset of your phone will be done.
You are done. Your phone should now reboot into your new ROM. (First boot may take up to 5-10 min.)
Updating coming from a previous version of the rom (This includes coming from a MIUI 12/A11 stable version of the MiuiMix ROM. Dirty flash, only stable over stable or weekly over weekly. Never weekly over stable or vice versa.):
(Optional) Backup all the data from your phone you don't want to lose, including the internal storage (photos, messages e.g.) - This is not required for update, you should not lose anything, but it's a good safe practice anyway.
Boot your phone into fastboot (bootloader) mode
Connect the phone to PC (make sure you have the correct drivers installed for fastboot mode)
Run the "fastboot_update_rom" script/batch for your platform (windows/linux/macos).
The ROM will now be updated on your phone automatically.
You are done. Your phone should now reboot into your updated ROM. (First boot may take up to 5-10 min.)
It is recommended to deactivate ALL magisk modules before updating.

Hello friends, I really apreciate this ROM but I have a problem... not only with this ROM, but with all Xiaomi ROMs...
I'm a tester, I like to test a lot of aplications, ROMs, anything. Of course, I need a system backup in case something goes wrong... But I cannot backup in custom recovery (TWRP or OrangeFox) because Data partition cannot be mounted, it shows "0 MB"...
I tried everything found on google but nothing works... the same 0 MB data partition... I even tried this in fastboot:
fastboot --disable-verity --disable-verification flash vbmeta vbmeta.img
but powershell or cmd shows "--disable-verity unrecognized option"
Please, can anybody help me? Thank you.

In twrp and ofox it's not possible.
You have to be encrypted to do that in Recovery with android A12 , I think also in A11.
But I'll think you can do it if booted and rooted with alphabackup

Thank you @Laptapper, I tried a custom ROM, crDroid with A12 and it works... I can backup/restore everything... with MIUI ROMs doesn't work.

@Hellera Those ROMs likely don't use encrypted data partition (which is a security risk). If you disable any screen locks you might have in your MIUI ROM, you should be able to see and use the data partition just fine (I did that with TWRP 3.6 and MiuiMix 13.0.2). However, whether or not you will be able to correctly backup and (more importantly) restore a ROM like that to a working state in case you need to has to be tested more.
Also once you set up a screen lock again, the data partition gets encrypted again.

@Case_ I never use any screen locks and I'm on MiuiMix 13.0.2, twrp and ofox doesn't see data partition, 0 MB... I think is about the android version 12... with version 12.5.7 android 11 I had not such problems... Is frustrating...

@Hellera Well, like I said, for me disabling fingerprint and PIN worked on MiuiMix 13.0.2. I guess there are more reasons why the data partition might stay encrypted even if you disable any screen locks.

How did you manage to install it? I began with EMUI 9.1 .115, unlocked the bootloader flashed the system, flashed twrp, resized system partition, wiped cache, dalvik/art cache, internal storage, installed stock recovery but I can't wipe data. It says reset failed. As far as I remember not wiping data from stock recovery wont work, phone is just stuck in a TWRP loop
EDIT: Well it just booted right in without formatting data. Guess it's fine

Well the storage isn't accessible through the file manager, 0 space for images, can't download from browser, and if data is wiped from twrp the device loops into twrp
EDIT: Wiping data from twrp and reflashing the stock recovery took me out of the loop, everything seems to be working now. I'll report bugs if I find any

Does anyone know how can I get root access with this custom ROM? I need recovery.img file but I don't know how to get it. Appreciate all the help.

Why you say recovery ? Just enable adb in root mode

When I was on EMUI 9.1 I extracted recovery image from UPDATE.APP so i could root with magisk. I figured I'd do the same now that I am on this custom ROM but yeah, got stuck.

I have many Bluetooth disconnections. In order to make a connection I have to stop Aufio FX, then scan bluetooth device and untick HD audio. After a restart I have to do these steps all over again.

Can I use this on EMUI 12?

I managed to install it on FIG-LX1, but my screen constantly goes blurry for a few seconds and then goes back to being sharp. Any fix for that?

Hello, any bugs/not working?

Everything works fine, I don't have any issue with my P Smart 2018 (FIG-LX1).
However, I lost a huge amount of time to root my phone. And I don't succeed. Does anyone have tutorial/information to help ?

As Skole previously, and according to the official Magisk procedure, I should have the "recovery.img" file to patch with Magisk. Unfortunately, this file is nowhere ?
-----------------------
EDIT: after discussing with @Skole yesterday (thank you again!), I finally got the point. If you want to root your FIG-LX1, you should download the official Huawei's stock ROM and then extract the RECOVERY_RAMDIS.img from it (you can use tools like Huawei Update Extractor to do so).
Then, use Magisk to patch the RECOVERY_RAMDIS.img file. At last, you should flash it in fastboot mode with the command
Bash:
fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk /path/to/magisk_patched.img
Note that the command below doesn't work
Bash:
fastboot flash recovery /path/to/magisk_patched.img
Next, when your phone is off, press Power + Vol+ buttons ; realease them when you see the splash screen Huawei.
You can follow this popular tutorial to root your phone, but keep in mind the advices above
If something went wrong (like me yesterday ), look at the "dload" method to unbrick your phone thanks to EMUI !
Merci beaucoup AltairFR for LeaOS ! You and Skole give my huawei a new life !

Hello, I have been trying to install this with no luck. I have an FIG-LX1 (bootloader & FRP unlocked) with TWRP already installed.
I'm stuck on the second step, where I need to flash the .img file I downloaded. This is the output I get from fastboot flash system LeaOS-20.0-20230331-iceows-google-fig.img: (the same also happens with the image that doesn't have gapps)
Code:
Sending sparse 'system' 1/7 (460796 KB) OKAY [ 13.743s]
Writing 'system' FAILED (remote: 'sparse flash write failure')
fastboot: error: Command failed
Can someone point me in a direction to go? I've been googling for hours with no avail.
(the phone currently cannot boot into any OS. only TWRP I got from this post)

Your system partition is two small, try to install leao-phh without gapps to see if boot

I think your system partition is too small.
You can use this tool. https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/huawei-partition-kit-enlarge-system-partition.4545993/ made by AltairFR pretty sure.
You will need OS first , you can install this one without google aps. https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...fig-lx1-leaos-phh-android-13-version.4558685/

He means you need to run the flash boot command for each slot
for instance your system runs on a slot, as soon as you type the
fastboot flash boot [boot image]
if it shows writing boot_a
then you need to type
fastboot flash boot_b [boot image]
to flash in the b slot also
if it shows writing boot_b
then you need to type
fastboot flash boot_a [boot image]
to flash in the a slot also
and you can pass the safteynet easily even when in root, u can use zygisk and magiskhide to pass the safteynet and you can run any banking app you want

Please do not use the boot images provided if you have not updated to the current latest version
Note: EU version boot image might be different so don't try
p.s you can extract boot images yourself from any version you want!

HIGHLY recommend to extract boot for your version, tnx to Stano36 we have well prepared collation of update. Thanks to Prajwal_Beast for this guide!
I have some questions about "a" and "b" partitions, where can I found some information why we have two partitions and all have two or some of them and etc..

We have two partitions so that if one fails the other can safely boot however most of us are careless and flash on both partitions so it's not really helpful for us
