Here’s an interesting, concise review of the rooting process for the (a budget tablet from around 2015), focusing on what makes it unique, tricky, or noteworthy. Interesting Review: Rooting the LENOVO Tab 2 A7-10 – “The Stubborn MediaTek” The Bottom Line Up Front: Rooting this tablet is possible but annoyingly quirky. Unlike most Android devices of its era, you can’t just flash SuperSU via a custom recovery. Why? There’s no official custom recovery (TWRP/CWM) that works reliably on the A7-10’s specific MediaTek MT8127 chipset. That’s the first “interesting” hurdle.
Would I recommend it today? For normal use, leave it stock – it’s too slow to benefit from root anyway.
Some users report that the WiFi stops working after rooting with certain versions of KingRoot. The fix? Reflash the stock boot.img (not the whole ROM). That’s how delicate this tablet’s root process is.
KingRoot – yes, the controversial Chinese one-click tool. It actually works on this device (Android 4.4/5.0 stock). The interesting part: after rooting with KingRoot, you must replace it with SuperSU using a script called SuperSU-Me or Update_SU.zip via a terminal emulator. Why? Because KingRoot is known for bloat, telemetry, and occasional ad injection. Doing the swap gives you clean, open-source root management.
