Dear XDA members,

I'm posting this under A3500 thread because I can't find my model-related posts anywhere on this forum. I've recently acquired a Lenevo A5500-HV tablet second hand. I first intended to use it just during live gigs with my band so I can scroll through tect and chords so it was more than enough. Now I want to mod it to my needs since it still has a 6hr screen on youtube time (so battery is ok).

I've started with rooting, it was oe click with KingRoot app, no problems, verified with root checker and some root exclusive apps like Official TWRP app.

The problem is I can't find TWRP or CWM recovery for that model for -->android 4.2.2<-- OR upgrade to 4.4.2 (because I found recoveries for 4.4.2).

Second thing is I can't find ADB drivers for it.

What can I do, is there another model's custom recovery that I can use (that won't send me to bootloop like it is now), is there a way to modify other model's recovery, what are the possibilities?

I know it's an older model, but I'd appreciate any info you can give me.
