    How To Root Lenovo A6000 And Install CWM Recovery
    This tutorial will teach you how to root Lenovo A6000 and install CWM recovey on your device. 
    Lenovo A6000 is a top quality Android smartphone released by Lenovo in January, 2015. The device comes with a 5 inch IPS capacitive touchscreen display, which is powered by a 1.2 GHz quad-core processor along with an 1 GB RAM and it runs on Android 4.4.4 KitKat operating system. The device is available at a moderate price of 6999 INR, and if you are looking for a budget Android smartphone with good features, then this smartphone is the one you should get.

    If you have purchased this smartphone and looking for a way to root the device, so that you can install custom ROM firmware’s of your choice, or upgrade the Android version in the device to Android Lollipop, or remove the unwanted pre-installed apps in your device, then you are in the right place. Here, I have given a step by step tutorial to root Lenovo A600 and install CWM recovery in it.

    Requirements

    Before getting started with the rooting procedure, it is important to take backup of personal data in your smartphone so that even if you lose your data during the rooting process, you can recover it using the
    backup. So take a backup using appropriate apps.

    2) Next, you will need to enable USB Debugging mode in your smartphone by following this path: Settings -> Developer Options -> USB Debugging (tick the next to it, to enable this option). If developer options are not visible, then follow this path to enable it: Settings -> About Phone (tap on the build number for 7 times to enable it).
    3) Download Lenovo A6000 USB drivers and install it in your computer. Only by doing this, you will be able to connect your smartphone with the computer.
    4) Next, make sure that your device has at least 75% battery backup in it as the rooting process is a battery consuming one. Also, ensure that you have deactivated antivirus programs in your computer as they tend to interrupt the rooting procedure.
    Once you have finished all these prerequisites, you can move forward with the main procedure given below.
    Tutorial To Install CWM Recovery In Lenovo A6000:
    1) To get started, download Minimal ADB and Fastboot, and install it in your computer. Once done, download the CWM recovery image and save it in the directory where you have installed Minimal ADB and Fastboot (usually it will be C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot).
    Once done, connect your smartphone to the computer using the original USB data cable. If you have installed the USB drivers of your device already, then the device will get connected to the computer successfully.
    3) Next, go to the folder where the Minimal ADB and Fastboot program is installed (C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot), hold shift and right-click on an empty space and select “Open Command window here” option. A command window will open up.
    4) Now, enter the following command to check whether your device is recognized by the computer:
    adb devices
    If you see a device ID, then your device is connected successfully.
    5) Now, enter the following command to boot into your device bootloader:
    adb reboot Bootloader
    6) Once you see your device boot into the Fastboot mode, enter the following command to flash the CWM recovery (recovery.img):
    fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
    7) Once the recovery image is flashed, enter the following command to reboot:
    fastboot reboot
    That’s it. Now you have successfully finished flashing CWM recovery in Lenovo A6000. Once your device reboots, switch it off and press the Volume Down and Power Button simultaneously to boot into the CWM recovery mode. Now, let’s find out how to root Lenovo A6000 smartphone.

    Tutorial To Root Lenovo A6000:
    1) To get started, download Lenovo A6000 Rooting Kit and save it in your computer. Once done, connect your smartphone to the computer using the original USB data cable and transfer the Rooting kit to your device’s SD card. After successfully transferring the file, disconnect your smartphone from the computer.
    2) Now, switch off your smartphone and press the Volume Down and Power Button simultaneously to boot into the CWM recovery mode.
    3) Once you are in the CWM recovery mode, select “Install zip from SD card” and choose the Rooting Kit (Root-SuperSU-v2.37.zip). This will start the flashing process.
    4) Once the rooting kit is successfully flashed, reboot your device.
    That’s it. Now you have successfully rooted Lenovo A6000 Android device. To confirm the rooting process, go to your Apps Menu and look for SuperSU app. If it is located there (it will be there), then the rooting procedure is successfully finished. Alternatively, you can check the root privileges of your device by using the Root Checker App, which is available in Google Play store.

    Understanding if Your Mobile Device Falls Into The MTK Category

    Understanding if Your Mobile Device Falls Into The MTK Category
    What does MTK stand for?
    The aims and objectives of this tutorial will enable you understand if your mobile device falls into the MTK category or not.


    In relation to this topic, MTK stands for MediaTek, and MediaTek is a well-known chip manufacturing company based in Taiwan that mostly outsources their products, hence they are regarded as Fabless companies.
    They specialize in manufacturing the Central Processing Unit (CPU chips) for wireless telecommunications, HDTVs, DVD etc. Their largest demands come from the Chinese mobile tech market.

    From that little description of MTK, you can deduce by now that when we say MTK phones, we are talking of phones that make use of MTK chips.

    Since MTK are largest suppliers of their chips to the Chinese mobile tech markets, it now tells us that most of the mobile devices produced in China are MTK devices.

    Note: I said most and not all, because there is other notable semiconductor companies aside from MTK that also serve the Chinese market and other mobile tech markets across the globe. For example we also have other notable one like SPD (Spreadtrum).


    But we are focusing on how to detect MTK devices when you are on hand with them. Since these
    chips are hardware components and with models embedded inside the devices, it will be difficult to tell if they are MTK devices, SPD and others by looking at or handling the device without uncoupling.

    It is a common idea that most ranges of Chinese phones like Tecno, Gionee, Infinix etc. are MTK devices. But as we mentioned above, you can’t categorically tell by mere seeing or handling them.

    In-fact what I want to tell you now will even go a long way helping you in differentiating original Android devices from fake ones. In other words, cloned phones from other manufacturers mimicking original manufacturers like Samsung, HTC, LG and the rest can easily be detected with this method.


    Now for you to really determine whether your android devices are MTK devices or not, follow the simple steps below;

    1. With your android device, go to Google Play Store.
    2. Search and download this simple and free app named CPU-Z.
    3. After installation, launch the app and you will see all your phones and hardware components models.
    4. While on the open app, you will see about 5 menu buttons at the top; SOC (System on Chips), System, Battery, Sensors and About menus.

    On the SOC menu, you will see the chip and model of your device boldly written at the top portion of your screen. On the other way round you can also navigate to the system menu to see the hardware component. The models for MTK devices always start with Mt prefix, while that of Spreadtrum often start with SPD or SC.


    You can use this app to detect other models and chipsets of any android device. Now for those cloned Samsung devices, when you use this app and find out that the chipsets are MTK, it should tell you that it is not from signed Samsung original products, as Samsung have their self-manufactured chipset as in the Exynos and aside from theirs, they also prefer using American chipsets like Qualcomm Snapdragon, Nvidia etc to MTK chipset.


    You will notice that I was able to use single stone in this piece to kill two birds for you, and so if you are happy with this, please you can use the comment box to express yourself and also share to your friends so they can also gain from this knowledge.

    Marshmallow 6.0 Landing On Infinix Hot 2 Android One Phone Next Month

    7:25 am 0
    Marshmallow 6.0 Landing On Infinix Hot 2 Android One Phone Next Month
    Good news to all Infinix hot 2 Android One mobile phone users, as Marshmallow 6.0 will be landing on your way in no time.
    Remember last time that Google went into the mission of making the Android One project a reality for many; a project that was geared towards producing and delivering not more than $100 Google Android branded phones to most smartphone emergent markets across the globe.

    It was during that period, which was not even long ago that gave birth to the Infinix Hot2 branded Android One phones that most of you went ahead to snap up.

    What makes the Infinix Hot2 Android One phone different?

    By now, you should know that as Android is to Google, so is Google is to Android, giving birth to originality.

    The Infinix Hot2 to is different from many other android phones in proliferation today, because unlike other android phones like those from your Tecno, Innjoo and even other Infinix products that their OS which is Android was delivered to those devices based on franchise, the Infinix Hot2 has the true mark of Android in it as it runs on Google’s own Android OS.

    And the major difference between Google Android and other androids based on franchise deals is that of updates, as Google Android devices get direct and quick updates delivered to them once any form of updates is made available.

    And that is what exactly most of you that got the Infinix Hot 2 will be enjoying in the next couple of days, as the latest Google Android OS, which is the Marshmallow will be getting delivered to all Android One devices which Infinix Hot 2 is part of.

    When we say next month, don’t forget that next month is just 2 days ahead, but to be precise, Infinix Hot2 owners should brace themselves and their devices up for all the new features that the Android Marshmallow have in stock as  starting November 7, Marshmallow updates to your devices will gradually begin to creep in.

    On whether other Infinix products aside the Infinix Hot2 will we be getting the Marshmallow update thereafter is still uncertain for now, as the report currently has it that it is only Infinix Hot2 that will enjoy the upcoming update for the time being.

    How To Unlock Android Device With Cracked Or Broken Screen

    How To Unlock Android Device With Cracked Or Broken Screen
    This tutorial will school you on how to unlock Android device with a cracked or even worse, a broken screen. Retrieving your data isn`t data after a cracked or broken screen has felt so good before until now.
    I have been a fan of touch screen smart phones since the time they first came out and I can’t even imagine going back to a non touch screen phone. While touch screen phones are probably the best in terms of interface and functionality, since you can directly press on the screen for accessing anything, some touch screen phones are sensitive, and once something goes wrong, they can leave you frustrated.

    One of the problems that most Android users face is a cracked, broken or inaccessible touch screen. The problem here is that you’ll be able to see everything on your phone, but you won’t be able to interact with the screen. In such instances, I’m sure many of us remember the good old phones with hard keys. The problem for most users here isn’t that they need to get their phones repaired, but that their phones are locked
    and they can’t put in the password in order to backup all the important files.

    Like many other problems on Android phones, there are solutions to this problem as well and even if you 
    can’t access your touch screen, you can learn how to unlock Android device with cracked or broken screens with the methods below. Note that the methods mentioned below aren’t official solutions to this problem, but rather they’re workarounds that a lot of Android users have had success with and they should work on some of the most popular Android phones, such as Samsung Galaxy S5, HTC One, Nexus 5 and Motorola Moto X. Also, they should work other less known Android tablets and phones. You might also try our guides on replacing cracked screens for the S3 and Galaxy S4.

    Method 1: Android Debug Bridge

    The Android Debug Bridge or ADB solution is the most successful and popular solution for this problem since you don’t need to purchase any fancy stuff in order to unlock your Android phone. You’ll need a PC and a micro USB cable to connect your phone to your PC. This method will only work if you have USB debugging enabled on your Android phone.

    If you don’t have it enabled, then proceed to the second method. You’ll need to install the Android SDK (software development kit) package on your PC along with your phone’s specific USB drivers.

     Step 1
    Download the Android SDK package on your PC. You can download it through this link. Make sure that you download the correct 32-bit or 64-bit version for your PC. Once downloaded, extract the zip file on your PC.

     Step 2
    Download USB drivers for your phone. You can get the USB drivers for your phone from your manufacturer’s website.

     Step 3
    Launch the Command Prompt on your PC and change the directory to where the ADB file is located. Type in the following command in Command Prompt. cd C:/android/platform-tools

     Step 4
    Connect your Android phone to your PC using a micro USB cable and enter the following command. If your phone is recognized, you’ll see some numbers in the Command Prompt message. adb devices

     Step 5
    Type in the following two commands. You’ll need to type in the second command immediately after the first one. Replace 1234 in the first command with your actual password.

    adb shell input text 1234

    shell input keyevent 66

     Step 6
    If the process is successful, your phone should be unlocked. You can now backup all your important files.s
    Method 2: USB On the Go Mouse

    If the first method didn’t work with your phone or if you don’t have USB debugging enabled, then this is the next best alternative. This method focuses on using a mouse in order to interact with the phone. This is the same way that you interact with your non touch screen PC. Surprisingly, a USB mouse and other USB accessories work quite well with Android phones and tablets.

    However, you’ll need to purchase an OTG (On The Go cable) adapter in order to connect the mouse with your phone. While most Android phones and tablets support OTG, some phones cannot be used with an OTG adapter. Make sure that you do your research on whether your phone supports OTG. Some of the latest phones, including the Samsung Galaxy S5 and the HTC One support OTG. You can also check out this OTG compatibility list.

     Step 1
    Get an OTG adapter for your phone. You can find it at your local mobile store. You can also buy one from Amazon for about $5 OTG cable or to the nearest mobile accessories store and you can also borrow from a friend. 

    Step 2
    Get a USB mouse if you don’t already have one connected to your PC. They are available at computer stores.

     Step 3
    Connect the micro USB side of the OTG cable in your Android tablet or phone and plug in the USB mouse in the OTG adapter.

     Step 4
    As soon as you connect the mouse, you should see a pointer on your screen. You can now use the mouse to unlock the pattern or use it to press the keys of the on-screen keyboard if you have a password lock. android pattern.

     Advisory Conclusion
    One of the reasons Android is my favorite operating system is because there is a solution to almost every problem. A dead touch screen might be a nightmare for you, especially if you have a lot of important data on your phone. However, using the methods mentioned above on how to unlock your Android device with a cracked or broken screen, you can easily unlock your phone and backup all your important data before getting your phone repaired. Again, both these methods are workarounds to this problem and they might not work with some devices. That being said, they are probably the only two solutions that you can use in order to unlock your phone without interacting with the touch screen.

    Method 1 is perfect if you have USB debugging enabled on your phone, since you don’t need to purchase anything and the entire process takes only several minutes. If, however, USB debugging is disabled on your phone or if the ADB commands didn’t work with your phone, then you can use a USB mouse in order to unlock your phone. Make sure that you check whether your phone or tablet supports OTG before getting an OTG adapter. Whichever method you choose, make sure that you follow all the instructions properly and feel free to shoot any questions below.
