Lenovo A1010a20 A Plus (Carrefour Spain) - Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking

Hi everybody,
I'm trying to find some info and check if I'm able to root a Lenovo A1010a20 A Plus, which is a device that is being sold right now in Spain by Carrefour at a very cheap price. Can anybody point me in the right direction?
I've only found some info in a few russian forums and I'm not sure about the steps I should follow. I just want to be able to root the device, nothing else.
Lenovo A1010a20 A Plus
I'd like to know if I can follow this guide:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=67159924&postcount=17
but using this image for the A1010that I found in a russian forum:

Thanks in advance

There's a few bricked Lenovoes out there, but a root method is usually okay if you have the right rom/image for the device.
King & Kingo can't root the lollipop version, so I think it's maybe a locked bootloader.
It's the same phone as the Alcatel popstar... which does root easily.

Try to use the SEARCH button, it always helps, read here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=348882
"You can tell if your device is G3 or G4 by entering into bootloader mode.
If the bootloader version is less than 1.99999 than it is a G3 device. If the bootloader version is greater than 2.00000 than it is a G4 device"
When I put it into bootload mode (not connected via usb) it says 'serial' at the top and 'v1.03' at the bottom.
Can I take this to mean it is G3 then?
I should add i have managed to unlock the sim thanks to this wonderful forum.

LG L4 II (E440) Unlocking possible?

Hi everyone!
I will be short:
a friend of mine has asked me to unlock his mother's LG L4 II (E440) so that he can use it.
I've successfully rooted it, but I cannot seem to find a tutorial to unlock it except of numerous websites where they offer network unlock code via IMEI.
Is there such a tutorial, or can someone help me?
I want to say just that I've so far unlocked Samsung G S2, some other samsung, alcatel,... (all my friend's phones) via tutorials found on XDA.
Thanks in advance! Cheers!

Root for lgg4 us cellular lgus991

I'm kinda new at this and I need a little help with figuring out if I can actually root the lgg4 I bought? I've never bought anything from another variant other than the typical sprint, mobile etc.......so with that said......can I root this phone that's from us cellular? And if so can you point me in the right direction please.? My software information is lgus99120c
My model number is lgus991
Please help me
So far no root on MM. You will need to downgrade to LL with LGUP. Do research for your own model.
LG G4 us991 "unlocked"/ US Cellular
There is very little information on these G4 variations,
I am also struggling with this device. No real root method, mention of a couple custom and stock roms but no links,
Im running stock unrooted lollipop
Any real help would be greatly appreciated.

There is a brand new method for your device which can fully unlock it and so install even custom ROMs on it! Ofc rooting stock MM is no issue anymore for you then..
Just check out my PoC unlock thread in the g4 area!
This unlock method is based on ls991 (!!!!) firmware and so you should have no limitations. ("should" because no ls991 user tried it yet but it worked for other models where we had much higher risk of issues then with a ls991..)

Question I bought Chinese version of IQOO9 and want to switch to Funtouch OS

HI friends, I have made a mistake buying iqoo9 from Aliexpress without reading the OS description. I read somewhere that vivo is supposed to be offering the option for owners to switch to funtouch is that true will I be able to do that or was that just a rumor?
Thanks in advance
Hi guys,
same situation for me. I have bought the IQOO 9 pro PD2172A and I would try to flash PD2172F ROM but I don't want to brick my phone.
I hope there is someone expert who can help.
Thank you
Same situation for me!
Bad news guys I contacted Vivo. Switching is not possible as the Chinese version is made for Chinese audience and won't let you flash funtouch. At this point all I can hope for is to be at least able to access USB debugging and remove vivos bloatware.

Hi mate, can you post us the link please? I would try to convince them to give us the possibility to switch to Global rom. At the end we have spent a lot of money for this flagship and if they don't want to lose customers in the future, they should make us happy in someway.
So there's no single way for us now to be able to flash something different onto it? Nobody tried?
the main problem is to find the original ROM so in case of problems you can revert back.
Hi there,
I've got 9 Pro version and I am interested too. is it possible to unlock bootloader? Developer options are very limited - most of functions are grayed.

Unfortunately you can't. They won't even let you use root account to use adb debugging mode to remove their crap bloatware. Unfortunate that an incredible phone like this with amazing specs is locked. I would be happy if they let me at least use adb
Do you think it's possibile at least to flash the Global version over the China version?

No the Chinese phone are branded with different model code even if we assume you manage to get to bootloader which they already have locked and when I asked them they said no. We don't allow bootloader access for phones made for Chinese markets
Traying to find the correct stock software to the Chinese version of Iqoo 9 Pro I found instead software to F model not A. I didn't know the F model does exist at all. Recently Vivo released this model (9 Pro) to India market but I am not convinced it is V2172F. Possibly this software could be downloaded to ours 9 Proses after bootloader unlocked. Am I right?

I don't know about the Indian version I looked for the model number but don't seem to find it. Either way there is no point of that. I already tried to do extract the boot file and attached it to magisk here is the catch you can't run that without bootloader unlocked
If you looking for chiness file, you may find on PAID website, such as ROMDevelopers ETC
Quick update I managed to remove a lot of vivos bloatware, not all but most of them using adb appcontrol just wanted to leave this here in case someone may find use of this info
Hi Moe990
I am doing the same and building a list of what is safe to remove.
A few weeks ago I removed an APP that disabled my NFC (Google Pay) - I had to factory reset my phone
Have you managed to remove :
- Music and Video players
- Phone / SMS / Contact APP
Thanks
Nah not everything is removable. But I'm glad with what I removed so far
I noticed I cannot google back up my phone. its greyed out ... so annyoing

If something looks so easy it cannot be true. This metod simply does not work.
