[Thinkpad Tablet General] 3kgt:
Hi all.

First i want to thank you for all the work you done.

Don’t wanna sound like a noob, even if im in comparison to most of you

I did read about 15 pages without finding a cure for my problem.

I have a 90F, Totally stock. Marshmallow

I downloaded the platform-tools , but there is no setup file. And whatever I click on the bat/exe files nothing happens.

I guess that I need that Fastboot for a starter to get it all working.

And one more thing, where do I find this magisk.zip ?
[Thinkpad Tablet General] theCrazyDev:
Hi!

You can find a detailed guide on how to install magisk here. It has also all the releases you will need.

About platform-tools, I suggest you to follow some guide on how to use it.

You should open a terminal inside the platform-tools folder to type any commands to interact with your device through adb.

I could quickly find some links for you:

- Android Debug Bridge (adb)

- [GUIDE] ADB Workshop and Guide for everyone

I hope it can help you.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] alanzed:
Hi guys, I am not able to reset the tablet to factory. I have tried from within the SO, but it restarts into TWRP asking to allow modification, but then does nothing.

I have then tried to wipe everything from TWRP, and it says

"Unable to locate /data."

"Unable to mount storage"

My final goal would be to go back to the stock version and only unencrypt again in case things go slow (but I understand the recent OTA may have fixed things?)
[Thinkpad Tablet General] OOEvil:
What version of TWRP did you use?
[Thinkpad Tablet General] alanzed:
So, it's 2.8.7.0. Do I need to update?
[Thinkpad Tablet General] OOEvil:
You need the "data enabled" TWRP version that is shared in the first page.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] alanzed:
I would like to go to the stock version of the tablet, as I am trying to sell it (and would like to install the OTA update before that).

I downloaded the data enabled version of TWRP, moved it to the SD card, and tried to install the zip using the current TWRP, but it gives some MD5 error.

I then restarted to fastboot and from the pc I did a "fastboot boot zipfilename" but at the bottom of the fastboot screen on the tablet (the one with the dead android with the open chest), it says "bzImage kernel corrupt / Couldn't load Boot image: Invalid Parameter".

Any idea what I can do to go back to the stock version of the tablet (p.s.: I recently replaced the screen myself as the previous one was cracked, not sure it matters, but I thought of mentioning it)

EDIT: I have a TWRP backup from before the root... I guess... Shall I restore it?

EDIT 2:

So I installed the old backup through TWRP, it restarted, and I managed to get into (what I think was) the stock recovery. From there I have wiped device and cache. After the restart, it was walking me through the initial tablet setup, but even before I could start, the prompt came about the OTA update.

Now it's installing the system update. Let's see how it goes.

Does this mean that I went back to stock and removed TWRP as well as any root?

How do I get rid of the warning at the start? fastboot lock?
[Thinkpad Tablet General] OOEvil:
Another System update is available today.

We need to repeat the usual unencrypt and then encrypt steps.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] Kroll888:
For which version?
[Thinkpad Tablet General] OOEvil:
I have just started the whole process of formatting, updating and backup restoring.

At the end I'll make you know
[Thinkpad Tablet General] Kroll888:
I meant which tablet version X90F or X90L
[Thinkpad Tablet General] Kroll888:
I'm looking for original stock ROM for YT3-X90L 4/64GB version.

Maybe you still have any.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] gaurika:
Kroll, I have to check, I still have the tablet, but I am sure that mine was 2 GB RAM / 32 GBytes ROM, and I am nit sure that the image is right for your model.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] OOEvil:
X90L
[Thinkpad Tablet General] Kroll888:
If it is still based on Intel with LTE, it should be ok. Do you have any of below version?

yt3-x90l_usr_s200357_2003030244_ww17_bp_row

Or yt3-x90l_usr_s200307. Or the super first one yt3-x90l_usr_s200028 ?
[Thinkpad Tablet General] OOEvil:
I have been getting problems with the latest update.

Maybe I should consider to try full reset like this one:

https://xdaforums.com/t/yoga-tab-3-pro-debrick-method-instructions.3776951/
[Thinkpad Tablet General] Kroll888:
The case is that I do not have stock ROM, to have it as new.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] OOEvil:
My same problem because last year I missed to save the stock rom with the April 2020 system update.

The only one I have found is YT3-X90L_USR_S200042_1610100135_WW17_BP_ROW in the debrick thread
[Thinkpad Tablet General] Kroll888:
Canon you share any link so I can download?

[Thinkpad Tablet General] Kroll888:
Thanks a lot.

I will downlaod and reset tablet.

And did you update your tablet? What is this update about: upgarde to new android or just security patches?
[Thinkpad Tablet General] OOEvil:
No it's a disaster, I forgot to save the stock last year and now I have to use Intel Tool to flash the original firmware.

Another option is to avoid the update.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] Kroll888:
Thanks a lot.

I updated it and Got OTA latest update S00384.

What is irritating, I talked to Lenovo helpdesk and asked for original stock ROM, and they said it's old model and they do not have it and do not support.

And suddenly they give OTA update.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] OOEvil:
Same here friend.

I had to reset my tablet to factory stock rom following instructions in:

https://xdaforums.com/t/yoga-tab-3-pro-debrick-method-instructions.3776951/

I have no words to thank user @joesnose , without his method and without his stuff my tablet was dead.

I have had some issues with DNX drivers (solved) and with Intel platform flash tool lite settings, but after 4 attempts the tool flashed the tablet without problems.

Now after all the updates I have the Build S200384_210816 like you.

I am very disappointed, I was hoping that Lenovo would offer us a system upgrade to at least Android10

Is it Custom Rom Android 10 for Tab Yoga 3 Pro yt90f?
[Thinkpad Tablet General] sullivan2002:
Hi, I was searching for Android 10 on my Lenovo Yoga Tab 3 YT3-X90F Where to find it?
[Thinkpad Tablet General] sirarisma:
Hi,

Need help.

I have unlocked bootloader. I can run live TWRP from 1st page(2.8.7.0 YogaTab3Pro 6.0 edition), i have flashed it too.

But, when i try flashing x90-disable_encr.zip i got a error message:

Unable to locate /data

Cannot find forced encryption flag.

Another error is: TWRP cant format data, so i cant restore factory.

Solved: Found TWRP with data enabled
[Thinkpad Tablet General] joesnose:
Booted?
[Thinkpad Tablet General] RedMist:
Yup, just booted a clean system. Without SuperSU.

At least its not bricked! :)
[Thinkpad Tablet General] joesnose:
Brilliant. Did you use 2.46 SU as I have heard the newer one causes problems.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] RedMist:
Yes, i downloaded "UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46.zip" But that was the most recent I think.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] joesnose:
Most recent is 2.49 make sure you get 2.46.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] RedMist:
Thanks very much. I'll try again over the weekend. :)
[Thinkpad Tablet General] Zladimir:
You also have the model X90L or another ?
[Thinkpad Tablet General] joesnose:
If you are taking to me I have the F.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] rfsteel:
Thanks, just followed these steps with success, one question, if using TitaniumBackup would it not be quicker to also create an update.zip and then using this to rebuild the tablet once format data have been run from TWRP ?
[Thinkpad Tablet General] Frenchdroid:
Hey joesnose, I was going to post to say my tablet had gone glitchy. I wonder if it could have been because of updating supersu (the supersu app message popped up and said that it needed to update it so I let it and then it said it needed to delete something so I let it).

The glitch was that quite frequently the screen would go dark & blank but still slightly illuminated, rotate, then after 2 seconds come back to normal.

I restored my twrp backup I made after the latest Lenovo update and so far it seems fine (I installed 2.46 and said no to the supersu update).

Any ideas?
[Thinkpad Tablet General] joesnose:
No idea. But would suggest sticking with SU 2.46 as it seems to function just fine.

Don't know if there is a higher version than 2.49 but last time I attempted update that was the highest. When I updated mine failed to boot rather than glitching, so perhaps unrelated or maybe a newer version?

There is a lot of people in the lenovo forums suggesting that they see much less lag just by removing their sdcard, or by switching to a different sdcard.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] Zladimir:
Still frustrated that I cant succeed to boot into bios. I think I will try to restore the tablet fully and then to try again. Dont know why I am stuck there that the tablet just switches off.

May there be a connection that Ive the X90L instead of X90F not succeeding booting into bios ?

Also I do everything without an external sdcard, only using an OTG pendrive. But I can hardly believe that this would be the reason.

I dont get a clue what could be the reason, what is different that booting to bios will not succeed.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] joesnose:
[MENTION=7408576]Zladimir[/MENTION] that sdcard thing was not aimed at you.

However a restore may help. The other day I semi bricked, could only get to bios, and after a restore it did behave differently. Previously reboot to bios was instant, now it goes to black screen then I hard reset and bios comes up.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] Zladimir:
[MENTION=2195656]joesnose[/MENTION] But my sdcard question was aimed at you. :p :D

So the tablet all the time behaves differently ? Thats quite strange ! Ill give it a shot later when Ive time, maybe in the end I can come into bios and concentrate on getting the second partition working.

In another thread I read you had problems detecting your otg device ? Is this solved or up to date ?
[Thinkpad Tablet General] joesnose:
Yes faulty adapter, although USB peripheral device drivers are thin on the ground.

Like I said before, though not recommended! If you flash the wrong recovery to your tablet it should boot to bios when you select recovery.

Saying that....you could just fastboot boot the wrong recovery. Would probably work.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] Zladimir:
So I just flashed down and forward several times, if I can somehow in different states come into the bios. No result, never succeed. If I have the OTG connected boot to bios results in a turn off of the tablet. If OTG is not connected he just reboot to the error code 03 screen and boots system if I put UP key.

The other hint I just tried. I erased the recovery, but than I get an error code 02 screen which leads back to the error code 03 screen if I push UP key. Which wrong recovery you suggest ?
[Thinkpad Tablet General] joesnose:
I think I have manual instructions somewhere, let me see if I can find them.

I was using three different computers during testing might take some searching!
[Thinkpad Tablet General] Zladimir:
Yeah that would be really helpful. :)

Just tried also to boot directly different recovery images just to force a bios boot. But without success. Get only an error that kernel is corrupt and couldnt load boot image, so I remain in the fastboot mode screen.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] joesnose:
[MENTION=535343]all[/MENTION]

Is there anyone who frequents this thread who has a copy of the stock ROM. Seen a few semi bricks recently and my files seem to be broken.

And again, always best to leave your tab in an unlocked state as recovery is easier.

[Thinkpad Tablet General] joesnose:
Thanks [MENTION=4696121]Shug69[/MENTION], is that from a twrp backup? Or the original backup that you made for ionioni?
[Thinkpad Tablet General] Shug69:
No thats the original as posted by Ionioni.

Here's the recovery I used for BIOS (no responsibility accepted)

https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BzfzROhqO_aebFFBTHByRTJjMEU/view?usp=docslist_api
[Thinkpad Tablet General] joesnose:
That doesn't look like the stock ROM he posted. The stock ROM had 4/5 files and a readme, that looks like twrp backup.

And zladimir has managed to get to his bios now, so I don't think he needs the old flash the wrong recovery trick. Good times. Lol

[Thinkpad Tablet General] Zladimir:
Dont forget that the devices X90L and X90X have different stock ROMs. Yes I got repeatably to bios (thanks to you joesnose as you know through PM^^). Yet still I work on a way to enforce usb boot. Make small steps here and there but no handfirm result yet, still a lot of possibilities to try, but limited time in private life. :D

What version is that backup?

I have mine with January 28's update and my tab's been acting up these last few weeks: Google services not working (hence, no gmail), bluetooth not turning on, getting a weird Unable to mount error on TWRP and SDcard as read only (got an incorrect format message from tab and agreed to format, but nothing happenned) and screen not rotating to name a few; I even tried a factory reset from TWRP (doing it from the tab itself wouldn't do it) and now I can't even start using it, it's stuck on the google connection.

I even tried restoring my backup and letting the tab encript aging, now I have everything working (seems like decryption was the culprit), exept for google services, they're not connecting.

I'll try updating to see if that does the trick, and also look at my router's config, as I'm blocking the google DNSs because of the proxy I'm using for Netflix (although that shouldn't be problem, as my other devices are working without problems).

Will update later
[Thinkpad Tablet General] Shug69:

I can share but will take some time. Its a large upload and I have some issues uploading.

Let you know when its online.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] Lusanagi:
No, it was the ota from January.

Anyways, the problem with Google services really seemed to be a problem with my internet, as I wasn't able to play FFRK in my phone because it wasn't able to connect to Play games, so everything is working correctly now; I did my backup from this last ota, but now I'm afraid of rooting/decrypting again because it could happen again (I'm not new to rroting, but this tab has done that).
[Thinkpad Tablet General] joesnose:
Well of course the choice is yours but haven't seen the issue reported by any other users, could be a one off.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] scrubber:
Excellent!Waiting for a fresh TWRP backup with the latest OTA

It is very necessary to me !!!

Thank you
[Thinkpad Tablet General] RedMist:
Aw damn..

I did everything correct, I think, but after fastboot format data, I can't log in... Presumably because I changed my password today... (I do remember my new password, it just doesn't work)

Apparently I'm locked out for 24 hours. Just be aware guys.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] bindaasdude99:
Do I have to restart tablet every 24 hours to remove lag everytime? and can someone confirm if Xposed works with root?
[Thinkpad Tablet General] joesnose:
Have you decrypted data? for me this totally solved lag issue. There is a lot of talk inthe lenovo forums that suggests that some sdcards are causing the lag, so you could try using another or removing the one you might be using.

Unfortunately at the moment 64bit intel chipset is not supported by xposed! A right pain.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] RedMist:
A big thank you to joesnose and all involved in this.

I now have software to match the superb hardware in this tablet.

If only there were custom ROMS, but for now, quite happy. It's made a huge difference.

[Thinkpad Tablet General] Mr.Chippy:
Hello, i got myself a yoga tab 3 pro, and really love the tab, great , or super great battery og very nice to hold etc. But it lags all the time, and when I press the home button the home screen seems to be restarting if you understand, the wallpaper 'loads' and all the icons are away for couple of sec. And browsing or multitasking is horrible. I don't want to root really, but I saw the decryption thing, is that very hard to do? And I won't accidently brick my tab right? And one more question, will that break my warranty?

Sorry for my bad English, and some stupid question. I'm not a pro user ? thanks in advance?

Help Please

Need some help here please,

I'm super new to rooting and all this software. I read the instructions for rooting and for decrypting and downloaded needed files and such, but the instructions seem very vague to me and i have no idea what to do or where to start....i've read them over and over and still don't know anything, and i thought i was pretty good at doing things like this. So, i'm asking for a bit more info from a step by step if anyone can help me please. My tablet runs like crap and i need to make it run quicker.

Thanks

[Thinkpad Tablet General] kman1793:
I have to say....these instructions don't work the same for mac......having major issues. My tablet won't connect to mac, and nowhere is is mentioned when, where or how to make a twrp backup. Guess i'm just an idiot and will have to leave doing this and throw tablet in garbage. Hating Lenovo right now.... what a waste of money.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] joesnose:
as long as you can get adb and fastboot installed, should all work the same. Although I am not able to help so much as I don't have a mac. Do you not have access to a windows or linux machine?

The instructions do not include twrp specific instructions, but twrp is quite straight forward. And if you manage to get twrp up on your tab take backup first before any rooting or disabling encyption.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] kman1793:
Sorry i'm so so so lost trying this. It seems like every step requires a prior step that i'm met with problems. I thought it would be easy to follow a step by step guide, but each step in the guide requires something else that i research and get nowhere with.

1. I've copied the supersu.zip to my tablet and left the tarp file on my laptop, although from my mac everything automatically downloads and extracts so they are both .img files already.

2. Unlocking tab...done... no problem.

3. Restart in fast boot on tablet... done...

Thats about as far as i get... tablet not recognised on mac, no idea how to do a backup with twrp or even use the file or where the file should be anymore or is it a program to run? Guess i'm not as versed and this as i thought, and have never been so lost trying to do something like this. I've hacked iPhones, apple tv, built pc from parts and flashed bios and just recently had to change a user password on a mac through the terminal. But this, this i am at a loss. Even when i read up on making a twrp backup, it says i need to be rooted to do that...... very very confusing

The unfortunate thing is i'm stuck on Mac.... not a huge fan of it, but thats all i've got. So, if anybody out there has done this on a mac or has some more step by step info, i beg of you to help.

Hi

I'm quite stuck with my tf300t. Rooted, it ran twrp+omnirom fine for a year and suddenly the keyboard stopped working normally, I decided to reflesh and upgrade it but I probably did something wrong because now it stops on "The device is unlocked"

I think the solution is probably using the bootit.ko ( seen in the thread [GUIDE][BRICKED] [BOOTS ONLY TO RECOVERY][All ASUS TRANFORMERS]), but the problem is that when I boot recovery mode, fasboot sees the device fine but adb doesn't, I tried on Linux and Windows 10 : same thing.
