Is there a variant for the A8-50 / A5500-H as I'm thinking of buying one for my Mum but only if it can be rooted?

Works on lenovo A3500 (A7-50 A3500)

Hello,
I post because I 've tried your process on my new tablet A7-50 (android 4.4.2 kitkat) and it worked fine, thanks you very much to Koli96 but the letter indicated on my tablet, it's not H or HV but L.

If someone else has the same it's cool for them, the process "http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/development/guide-lenovo-a3500-h-t2879208/page2".

However there is a OTA upgrade and the CWM fails to execute it.
What to do, need i to restore Stock recovera (If YES, how to do it ?).

Greetings,

Ender

rooting Lenovo A3500H failure

Hi folks,
I followed the procedure but when clicking download in the Smart Phone Flash Tool it goes to "search" and never starts transferring. I have selected Recovery (recovery.img) as required, nothing else.
The tool was started as Administrator on my Windows 8.1 PC.
But i mention one thing: When pressing download a Warning pops up like:
"Not ALL Images are correctly loaded, which may cause boot up issue!
Do you still want to go on downloading anyway?"
As said above, when clicking YES it goes into "search" and nothing happens anymore.
Stop works fine, it does not hang up or such.
The Tablet is recognized on the PC as 3500-H and i can view the data.
I have Android 4.4.2 on the brand new Tablet. Nothing done to it so far.
Who has an idea what goes wrong??
TIA and have a good week.
Hartmut

I just bought an A7-50 A3500-F. Has anybody here been able to upgrade that specific model to Android KitKat 4.4? (I know it works for the A3500-H and A3500-HV, but am wondering about the A3500-F model.)
