note: may be i will need stock recovery for 4.4.2 for my tab to format my tab again

Turn off your tablet and try to restore it by flash tool. Hope it will help.

Try toggling the signature verification off in cwm.

yes but you still need a computer and rootgenius that is if you have not updated to 4.4.2 and are still using 4.2.2

Check first i think you have not yet installed CWM recovery yet that button specification is only unique to the lenovo a3500 stock recovery

And i think you have spelled it wrong in your signature it is A3500-HV not A3500-VH

Confirmed

Confirmed working on a7-50 3500-F (Wi-fi model)
Had to manually download latest version of SuperSU from market and do an reboot before everything worked, though.

Thank you! =)

Worked fine on my A3500 FL, but now there is a new OTA upgrade that CWM can not flash.
What to do ? Can i restore stock Recovery somehow ?

I could give you a copy of mine(I made a backup of it before i flashed the new one)
Keep in mind that it is from a a7-50 A3500F, hence i don't know if it such a great idea to use it on yours. Be careful =)

 

[enderffx]

Thanks a lot, will try and report

[fanaticgamer]

How to root Lenovo A3500

Thanks for the reply well I new that they had put some extra security in the new kitkat version so that you can not root but when you use the recovery then you are installing the su file when android OS is is off so the security can't catch you

All right one last question have you tried making a nandroid backup and restoring it up until now if so and successfully please say so

Also if you do not know what a nandroid backup is it is just a backup of an entire operating system and can be used if the system gets bricked and it is totally harmless all it takes is 5 min since you had done the dangerous part and if that works can you check out nandroid restore because if the backup worked in success then there is a 97% chance that clockworkmod restore works o and there won't be any loss of data because you are doing a restore of all the data you backed up seconds ago

If there is a single error message after even after the backup and restore is finished please report it

The backup is totally harmless so if you can just check that I and all the HV version around the world would be very great full thanks in advance.......:fingers-crossed:
