Mine (the X50F variant) charges to 100% successfully, the only difference I have noticed is that instead of pulsing while charging, the LED ring around the power button stays on steady until it is fully charged, and then turns off.

Can those of you who have applied the 6.0 update confirm that Anypen is working for you? That is key for me, and I don't want to update if I'll lose that functionality. Thanks!
[Thinkpad Tablet General] sghens:
Finally,. Downloading:good: ?
[Thinkpad Tablet General] dshadow21:
ok, with the tablet on, the charging process stops at 95%, apparently it is a defect of the new Firm that turned off does not stop.

The weird thing is that it does not pass 95%, already check the battery from the tablet mode engineer and it is ok, so it is a failure of the new firm.

Since 6.0 Any pen works only with some completely metal elements, I did tests, keys, ok, scissors, ok, normal Pens Not; not tried a pen with a metal tip in its entirety, but it should work.

I uploaded a more recent firmware for X50F to MEGA. It's "YT3-X50F_S000022_160606_ROW_qpst". I suppose it's still 5.1.1 but it'll prevent the tab from loading a bunch of updates when reflashing the firmware :)
[Thinkpad Tablet General] 350Rocket:
I've never used anypen but I can confirm mine is charging to 100% on the 6.0.1 update installed OTA.

Yikes. I like to use a blunted pencil as a stylus b/c pens mark up my screen protector. I guess I will continue to wait until something can confirm anypen is fully functional. I am a professor who uses the tablet to grade and mark up pdfs
[Thinkpad Tablet General] 5T33Z0:
Thanks. Awesome. Do you have the latest Android 6 ROM for the X50F as well?

It's called X50F_S000114_161221_ROW

Yes and No.

Yes, you could update to the point where Android 6 will be downloaded and THEN Root to grab the OTA.zip

But once system has been touched you can't apply OTA updates. In my case full unroot and uninstalling Xposed Framework didn't work.

You need to unpack the OTA update and flash it with QFIL. You also need to create a backup of your IMEI since it's a Mobile Device. You can do that in QFIL.

BUT since you are NOT rooted, the easiest way would be to just apply the update and THEN root without having a chance to secure the OTA File.

If you save the OTA File for Android 6, could you share it?

[Thinkpad Tablet General] SM-T325 LTE:
Yeah. No clear path to getting everything I want. My ORIGINAL goal was to flash the complete "M" ROM to see if I could convert my "L" into an "M" w phone capability. But, the market share of these tablets is not such as to give the sort of over-active user support seen for more popular devices. I LIKE my Yoga Tablet, and don't want to lock myself out of further OTA updates (if there are to be any). So, unlike my LG devices (for which I can easily get an IMEI-specific entire flashable ROM to restore a goofed-up phone), Lenovo hasn't released either the firmware OR the tools to let one tinker with confidence. So...I'm just going to accept the OTA download. I'll TRY to see if I can grab it using ADB before doing the install, but am not confident in being able to do so. ADB doesn't seem to be able to do much w system files on non-rooted devices.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] 350Rocket:
I just verified anypen works on mine with 6.0.1. I never knew about it before so I didn't use it, but I went into Google keep and drew on the screen with a pencil and it worked perfectly:)

Also to note there is a lot less lag since the update. It's now a lot more usable. They also added active notifications when the screen is off which is nice.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] Neo0:
The tab is smoother but I can't turn the volume as low as I could on 5.1 :/

I also noticed some crackling/noise when listening to music on the lowest volume possible. I didn't noticed it on 5.1. It's really annoying as I'm listening to audio books a lot on lowest volumes

[Thinkpad Tablet General] chenzeepo:
Updated my yt3-850m to latest OTA 6.01, so far everything look and feel nice, less lag, everything work flawlessly, battery won't drain when in deep sleep mode. The only downside is the lack of autoswap volume button... It feels weird to lower your volume with uppervolume button while in reverse landscape mode. Other than that I'm pretty happy with it.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] Prof Yaffle:
Updated OTA to MM on one of my YT-850f tablets - it's a destructive upgrade (it warns you often enough), so it's a complete factory reset with the loss of all user data. I used Helium/Carbon to take a backup beforehand, as it wasn't rooted (so no Titanium), but that's such a truly awful piece of software as to be virtually useless. I lost several apps (apks flagged as "not for backup") and more app data (either only a partial app backup or a backup that won't restore); it's also incredibly long-winded and unreliable to do a full restore (wifi upload of 6GB of app backup == a couple of hours and then out of storage space). I wish I'd had a Play store backup, except 5.x has never allowed me to set a backup account, so watch out for that.

If I had any advice, it would be:

1. Consider rooting and using Titanium to take a proper backup.

2. If you must use Helium, take an app+data backup and a data-only backup if you're doing it to a PC host

3. Look at backing up to external storage, although this gets messy if you want to adopt the storage as internal (so you're left juggling space all over the place)

I still have another one to do, so I'm not wholly sure of which way to jump. I certainly want to root the 6.x ROM so I don't get caught like this again (I've always rooted my phones), but some of the Kingroot/Kingoroot stories make me cautious, let alone Dashi and the other methods that I can't even translate...
[Thinkpad Tablet General] TheAvatar:
I just unlocked the bootloader, flashed the X50M TWRP image and flashed SuperSu, worked without any issues.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] Prof Yaffle:
That sounds like a brave step - I know that the X50M is the model up, but I'm trying to see what the hardware differences really are. I'm surprised that it just works, so presume you'd already done the research before taking the plunge.

It looks like unlocking the bootloader does yet another factory reset as well, unfortunately :(

And I can't take a Nandroid backup without TWRP (to my knowledge), so I'm gong around in a backup-shaped circle: you can't get a decent backup without rooting, and you can't root without destroying, which means you have no backup either to restore afterwards or in case something goes wrong.

<muttermuttergrumblegripegroan>
[Thinkpad Tablet General] Neo0:
On 5.1.1 you're able to root using KingRoot. I don't like that way of rooting as KingRoot installs it's own "su manager", etc.

The problem is that it won't work on 6.0, as far as I know

Gesendet von meinem ONEPLUS A3003 mit Tapatalk
[Thinkpad Tablet General] Prof Yaffle:
Thanks. There's an earlier post about how to clean up after Kingroot, along with replacing Kinguser with SuperSU. I may give that a go on the 5.x tablet, as I'm going to have to wipe it anyway. The 6.x one... let's see, maybe an update to Kingroot will work.

But I've more to read on bootloaders yet, I think. I've flashed custom recoveries many times on other devices, but not on this one, nor on anything with a locked bootloader (that I noticed - things like Odin on Samsung might negate that need).
[Thinkpad Tablet General] 5T33Z0:
So, I updated my x50f to 6.0.1, rooted it, installed twrp and it works nicely. But what I don't like is:

Quick settings issues:

1st of all, Dolby Quick setting are gone! Why in the world would anybody in the right state of mind remove that? I enabled system ui tuner to bring it back but its not present as a tile. Anybody know how to bring it back?

2nd: when in landscape, quick settings are not centers which looks crappy.

Launcher3 issues:

YogaTab comes with google launcher 3, which i don't like, since it's just collecting data and has 50+ permissions. If you disable or remove it tablet won't boot after restart. Then you have to factory reset it andlose root again. Anybody know how to get rid of it without bricking your device?

Btw, when using Titanium backup, make sure to use an external SD which is NOT formated as an internal disk, because otherwise the tablet cannot access it after a reset and you're pretty much effed.

Also: why it has so nany services running in the background whuch you don't need. Why has tgere to be simcard service and telephony service running on boot on an F model? Same goes for ANT HAL Service - which, in my knowledge is for coupling with internet of things stuff like wrist watches and stuff. And there's sooo much other stuff running jn the background that i guess mist of it is unnecessary.

Cool thing if your roited though, is to use SetCPU and change CPU speeds and Governor. Even more useful, is to setup profiles for different workibg states. I have 3 Profiles. One high performance profile for when the charger is connected, 1 for when it runs on battery only and one for when the display is off.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] Neo0:
I disabled it throught the app settings and I'm facing no issues.

[Thinkpad Tablet General] dshadow21:

[Thinkpad Tablet General] 5T33Z0:
0. Enable developer settings

1. Enable bootloader unlock option in Dev Settings

2. Copy twrp.img from Russian Lenovo forum into ADB Folder on PC

3. Copy supersu.zip to device

4. Restart the device and press volume down to enter bootloader

5. Unlock bootloader via ADB: fastboot oem unlock-go

(Wipes the device!) Return to bootloader again after this is done.

6. Run twrp.img via fastboot boot twrp.img

7. Flash supersu, wipe cache/dalvik

8. Reboot. Done

[Thinkpad Tablet General] triturbo:
I'm new to Android and that's why I'm researching this past week all about it and thankfully I came across your post. Thanks for taking one for us. So after the rooting process you lost the Dolby settings (Lenovo smart switch) from the pull-down menu? Is Dolby still present and operating through the main menu? That's exactly what I was looking to find, whether or not the rooting would remove the Dolby and the quick settings.

BTW I'm already running 6.0.1
[Thinkpad Tablet General] 5T33Z0:
I think you got something wrong here. I didn't lose Dolby quick settings by rooting. It is just not present in 6.0.1. The Lenovo Smart switch is still there. But in 5.1 there was also an extra Dolby switch. Thats gone. The Dolby app however is still present and working.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] triturbo:
Thanks for the clarification! Either I have overlooked it, or it wasn't present on my out-of-the-box tablet (with 5.1.1). I only had Lenovo Smart switch, as I do now. What the Dolby looked like and what it did? Thanks!

By any means I'm on my way to root it, thanks to your post. Thank you again!
[Thinkpad Tablet General] 5T33Z0:
It just was a dolby symbol. It turned dolby atmos off and on just like the switch inside the app.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] triturbo:
Thanks. I can live without it, I see no reason to switch it off anyway.

Another question - have you logged-off your Google account prior rooting? I red that some people have troubles logging back in once they wipe their device (required due to the rooting procedure) if they haven't log out prior.

Hi all,

I've got YT3-850L device and got it bricked (yeah i know i'm idiot)

Searching everywhere for rom with "L" didn't find it. I've flashed "M" rom (YT3-850M_S000025_150731_ROW) found somewhere on Russian site ( file named YT3-850M_USR_S000025_1507310507_Q1241_ROW_otafull_factory_update.zip).

I didn't have any backup in first place so it was my only option.

Currently my Yoga boots with this rom but i have some problems:

a) Mobile Data don't work (I don't have any .qcn file), tablet doesn't see my SIM card, maybe it's releated to IMEI problem i read in this post earlier

b) Wifi don't work, even if i choose to enable wifi

c) Sound doesn't work, if i go to settings -> sound, then settings just close

Thanks to all who can/try to help solving my problem.

[MENTION=4579161]5T33Z0[/MENTION] - When you "Boot to recovery" does it boot to TWRP for you, or it loads the stock recovery? I can't make it to load TWRP, only if I "reflash" it and on the next reboot it still loads the stock one. It's pretty annoying. I've searched around tried to enter recovery right after reflash, still no-go. Maybe I'm not doing something.

On the positive side - got Apps2SD working, now I wonder should I flash A.R.I.S.E.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] 5T33Z0:
Did you unlock the bootloader before flashing/booting twrp? Otherwise it doesn't work.

I can do both via fastboit, booting into recovery (which uploads the twrp.img to the device and runs it) as well as flashing it. The Russian Lenovo site provides packages with twrp images for Android 5.1 an 6 which include a batch file for flashing via fastboot as well as a zip for flashing via recovery. Link is a few post above.

I don't know what ARISE is, though.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] triturbo:
Yes, it is unlocked, rooted and everything works. It's when I try to install another ROM/package through ROM Toolbox (for example ExtSDfix, for fixing write permissions) and it asks me to reboot into recovery, it does so, but in the stock one, instead of the TWRP. In order to install these files every time I have to reflash TWRP through the PC, or it won't run, which means that I can't install packages without PC. Pretty annoying. I read that some people have the same issue, but I couldn't fix it with any of the methods they've shared. That's why I'm asking you if you have the same issue?

A.R.I.S.E. is a sound mod that vastly improves the quality.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] 5T33Z0:
If it reboots into stock recovery then i am pretty sure twrp was not written to the recovery partition. Otherwise it would have overwritten stock recovery i believe. Flashing files from twrp works fine for me, even if i only boit into twrp without flashing. Which tablet model do you have?
[Thinkpad Tablet General] triturbo:
Solved! Used TWRP to flash "Lenovo_YT3-X50M_TWRP-3.0.2.7_by_SevenMaxs.zip". I thought that my tablet would blow in my face (because flashing TWRP with TWRP), but alas, the installation went fine and all is good with the world! :D

Recovery gone

Had a bit of trouble with my YT3-X50F, I un-rooted to install android 6 update and then flashed a stock rom but it turned out to be a Chinese version with no google play store. While trying to locate a European version I accidentally flashed a wrong rom and while it booted there was nothing on the screen. The eventual fix was holding power and vol up when off and it automatically re-installed the chinese version. I then flashed the correct rom with QFIL and updated to 6.

The thing is, I can't get in to recovery now, either with key press or adb, both run the re-installation script and I have to start all over again. Holding power and vol down brings up the penguin logo and nothing else happens. I am thinking that if I remove the update I could then get in to recovery but I don't know where it is. Any ideas?
