Bricked Lenovo A8-50F. Need Help with SP Flash Tool

Here's the situation:
I have a Lenovo A8-50F table. After attempting to flash a new TWRP recovery rom on it after unlocking the bootloader, I ended up with a tablet that would constantly reboot. I am attempting to fix this issue with the SP Flash Tool but I have two issues:
I don't know if the MT file is the right file for this.
You are supposed to see a red bar pass when you hit download indicating it has finished the upload and it never comes.
I have done the volume up + voume down + down and all the other combinations and at most what it produces is a 2005 error.
I have the a58p rom in zip file that I downloaded from here.
I'd like to have some help, but I'm not sure what I'm supposed to be searching for.

Hi, I know to recovery you Lenovo A8-50F. It's yet actually?
Thanks.

I used KingRoot (ver 4.8.2) to root my Lenovo Tab2 A8-50F Tablet.
I used KingRoot as part of a SuperTool. The SuperTool, using a batchfile script, also removed KingRoot after the tablet was rooted and then installed SuperSU.
The SuperTool (April 6, 2016 version) was created by xda's RootJunky for the Amazon Fire 7 5th gen tablet, using KingRoot and SuperSU, but it rooted my Lenovo Tab2 A8-50F Tablet, uninstalled KingRoot and installed SuperSU, all with only a couple of mouse clicks.
Even if you are already rooted with KingRoot, you can use this tool to uninstall KingRoot and install SuperSU. (Just run the tool, let it re-install KingRoot, don't run KingRoot but hit Enter on the SuperTool to then uninstall KingRoot and install SuperSU).
Lenovo Tab2 A8-50F Tablet info:
Model Number: Lenovo TAB 2 A8-50F
Android version: 5.1
Kernel version: 3.10.65
Build number: A8-50F_S000037_151023_ROW
Software version: A8-50F_151023
Hardware version; LenovoPad A8-50F
The SuperTool batch file script rooted the tablet with KingRoot and then uninstalled KingRoot and installed SuperSu.
I have since installed ES File Manager, Titanium Backup, Link2sd on the tablet. Root is totally working. Rooted with only a couple of clicks!
Just enable Developer options on Lenovo Tab2 A8-50F (by tapping tablet Build Number 7 to 10 times [Settings, About Tablet, Build Number (tap 7 to 10 times)]), enable USB debugging on Tablet in the Developer options settings.
Connect Tablet to Windows 10 with a USB data cable (I used the USB 2.0 port). When screen message on the Tablet mentions connections, make sure it is in the MTP mode.
Extract RootJunky's SuperTool Zip file to the Windows 10 desktop.
Run RootJunky's SuperTool (Amazon-Fire-5th-gen.bat) You may have to read the instructions on the pages below and install adb drivers. Pick option #6 Root. Choose Option #3: version 5.1.2. This will run a script that installs KingRoot, allows you to run it manually, and then removes KingRoot and installs SuperSU.
Press enter and KingRoot will be installed on the Tablet from the SuperTool. (approve any messages that appear on Tablet screen) Now don't touch the PC SuperTool until the Tablet is rooted.
Open KingRoot on the Tablet and run it. You may have to run KingRoot several times and the Tablet may reboot. Just keep running KingRoot until the Tablet is rooted. After KingRoot reaches 100%, then press ENTER on the PC.
The SuperTool will now uninstall KingRoot and install SuperSU on the Tablet.
Choose NORMAL SuperSU install on the Tablet when prompted. When SuperSU is installed, reboot the Tablet. Disconnect data cable.
After reboot the Lenovo Tab2 A8-50F Tablet is rooted. There will be a request by SuperSU to upgrade. Approve it. You can now install Titanium Backup, Link2sd, ES File Manager, etc. Your Tablet is rooted. As easy as that. THANKS ROOTJUNKY!!!

When you wipe cache, system, and data it wipe whole stock ROM and then you can flash Linage OS or any other custom ROM to enjoy....
Through kingroot you can flash TWRP another this there is no role of kingroot....

Please help! My phone is not booting, after using Kingroot!
It's stuck on Lenovo screen!
The phone booted up after quite some time. There's this issue in which the green LED light keeps on blinking everytime even if I don't have notifications. Is there a fix?

unable to backup through PC or cwm on rooted Lenovo a3000h

Hi I am Rupesh from India and I have Lenovo a3000h tab. I have rooted the tab through iroot on PC.
When I launch root checker on my tab it is showing message as congratulations the device has root access.
Actually I want to flash cyagnomed ROM on my tab and downloaded cyagnomed ROM and stock ROM which are specific to my tab. I have a small doubt that if I flash custom ROM is there any chance of loosing imei and baseband on my tab.
I have flashed the cwm recovery using flashify app. By using cwm I have flashed superuser zip file.
At present I have installed superuser app, ROM manager, flashify, busybox, terminal emulator, cwm on my tab all of which are running properly except backup is not being performed.
In PC when I enter the command adb devices I am able to see a device with serial number but when I try to backup through adb my tab asks for confirmation and no backup is performed.In cwm when I select the backup option it displays message as making backup of boot and struck there for hours with no progress.
Someone suggested to backup atleast nvram and imei before flashing anything and so I have tried a number of ways but not succeded.
Kindly suggest how to take backup of my tab through system or in tab itself.
Regards,
Rupesh.

Lenovo A3500-H: recommended ROM?

I have a Lenovo A3500-H. Still a nice device, but with outdated Android.
Is there any recommendation for an alternative ROM where evereything works fine? Camera, Bluetooth, LTE...

I guess there hasn't been much development recently, but what's the last most stable release?

Ok, then I'll write my answer here, since I figured out.
You can do it on your Tablet without using the PC.
1. Download AOSPExtended For Lenovo A3500 (Android 7.1.2 Nougat) and TWRP 311 and put it on your SD Card (don't know if it works from internal locations).
2. Get root on the Device using Kingo Root.
3. Get the official TWRP app (link from APKPure here) and use it to flash the TWRP311_Lenovo_A3500.img you downloaded before.
4. Reboot into TWRP (pressing and holding volume up+down+power button), and flash the AEX-N a3500.zip from there.
This worked fine. Make sure to use at least this version of TWRP, didn't work with 2.x.
Didn't test the ROM too much, so far it seems to work for all basic things I tried.

If you have problems with internal memory or missing superuser rights, you'll additionally need to flash the storage.xml.zip as well as some supersu.zip.
You'll get this at:
Chainfire SuperSU Download - Official Download Page
Get the all latest and old versions of chainfire SuperSU download from SuperSU root official download page. The latest SuperSU apk V2.8.3 is now available for Android
supersuroot.org
Installed Resurrection Remix, no external storage pop up
I installed a new rom on my Lenovo a3500 and now whenever I try to access the file browser and gallery the no external storage pops up. :eek: I saw a fix on 4pda but I can't seem to download it :crying: 4pda.ru...
