You should just have to create a folder 2016-02-10--11-25-47_YT3-X90F_USR_S100195_1512052308_WW24_ROW and place files there

Hey guys, I am having some issues with my yoga 3 pro. I think my projector is broken. Whenever I hold down the button, I get the prompt to turn on the projector, but nothing then happens. I occasionally see the focus knob, but the projector never actually comes on. My tablet is currently out of warranty, but does anyone know how to fix this? I have already done a factory reset, and I am 99% sure that it not software related. Any input is appreciated. Thanks!
[Thinkpad Tablet General] joesnose:
Maybe something has come loose inside! Or worse worn out! All the wires from the bottom barrel are threaded through the ends to attach to the motherboard. Continuous opening and closing could causE wear I guess.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] dinohunter117:
I actually opened the tablet up to take a look and see if anything looked crimped or frayed and I did not see anything. I have been scouring the internet for a replacement for the projector with no luck. Does anyone know or have seen a place where I might be able to get this?
[Thinkpad Tablet General] dskmusic:
maybe this?

Forced encryption

I just got this tablet, the Plus version. I do not like the fact that Lenovo forces encryption on the tablet. There should be an option to decrypt without going through all of this and voiding your warranty. I thought about returning it due to this, but my tablet runs super smooth as it is, and I am happy with it. It is good to know, however, that I have options, and thank you for this information!

not able to make backup in TWRP

I did all the steps inclusing step 7. But then i am not able to make a backup in TWRP.

When i boot in recovery twrp version 2.8.7.0(YogaTab3Pro 6.0 build - supported by joesnose@xda) and push the 4stripes button right bottom the i see the following error message:

Can any body help me to get to the next step and make a full backup with twrp.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] joesnose:
For first backup you have to uncheck data, data is encrypted and cannot be read.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] ernst99999:
The problem is that the internal storage says (0 MB).

I can select storage: internal storage (0 MB), Micro SDCard (0 MB) or USB-OTG (0 MB)

I think this is because i cannot connect to the data partition
[Thinkpad Tablet General] ernst99999:
I think that i also did a thing wrong. Instead of fastboot boot twrp-2.8.7.0(6)-x90.img the TRWP recovery img i used fastboot flash recovery twrp-2.8.7.0(6)-x90.img. Now i cannot go back to the original recovery img. Also when i use my oneplus goto recovery TWRP it asked me the pin for the encryption so it encrypts all the partitions. The TWRP 2.8.7.0 does not ask for it. Is there a new version available.

Is there someone who can send me the original recovery img voor my Yoga tab 3 Pro. Or tell me how to find it.

I don't want to continue before a good backup of the system partition. And currently with TWRP a have not a place to store the backup. (see my post #975)

On the data partition there is no data to be safed, but a am not sure that i can delete that one and make a new one with TWRP and use is to make the backup., and transfer the files to my pc.

Hope to get some help.

[Thinkpad Tablet General] joesnose:
I have the recovery backup for you, I will dig it out for you.

Flashing the recovery should cause no issues as long as you backup the stock first, lol. I have it installed with no issues.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] ernst99999:
Thanks for the help. waiting for it. Please tell me also how to use it ;)
[Thinkpad Tablet General] joesnose:
Rooting will not cause any loss of data as long as nothing goes wrong. Lol

When you flashed your stock ROM it just does system etc, hence your apps remain as the data partition was left untouched.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] Frenchdroid:
OK - thanks very very much Joesnose for all of the help and advice. You da man, and all that !

I'm updated, backed up and rooted now. Leaving data encrypted to see how it behaves.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] mletchworth:
My OTA update method

Ok. I was able to do the update. It seemed like a much longer process this time, but maybe I'm wrong. Here's what I did.

Backup all apps using TitaniumBackup. Copy anything important from internal SD card to external SD.

Restore a prior fresh TWRP backup (unrooted, created immediately after the last OTA).

When tab rebooted, it encrypted the data partition.

I installed the update and waited for the long reboot.

Booted into TWRP and created a new stock unrooted backup for next time.

Installed SuperSU from Post#1 and decrypt script from Post#2.

Rebooted into fastboot mode and did "fastboot format data" to have a fresh unencrypted data partition.

Reboot one last time - this one took quite a long time and brought me to the setup screen.

Restore apps from TitaniumBackup.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] Brunard:
Hi all,

Does anyone tried to apply 'uncrypt script' without rooting ?

Is this make bootloader error on start or any oher inconvenience (block OTA, ...) ?

Thanks for your answer ;)

++
[Thinkpad Tablet General] joesnose:
Unencrypted script works without root.

But one must keep their tablet OEM unlocked.

And yes blocks ota update.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] Zladimir:
Somehow possible to disable Secure Boot ?
[Thinkpad Tablet General] joesnose:
Yes but be careful!!!!!

From twrp reboot to bios.

Big fat warning wrong settings can give you serious brick.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] Zladimir:
Thanks for the fast response. :)

Thats exactly what I tried, but the tablet just switched off as I selected boot to bios. After I turned it back on it just booted back to the error code 03 screen. Im successfully unlocked and rooted. Any ideas how to solve that or in another way come to the bios ?

Also another matter, sadly there isnt any option to boot from usb, neither under recovery mode. I would like very much to encourage my tablet to boot from my pendrive, but didnt succeeded so far. Any ideas on that ?
[Thinkpad Tablet General] joesnose:
That's the holy grail. Their is no option in the bios to boot from USB.

Strange that its not booting to bios. The original technique for getting to the bios was flashing the wrong recovery, not recommended.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] Zladimir:
Any idea how else to come into BIOS or to disable secure boot ?

Beside usb boot there may be other ways to install other OS to the tab I believe. First it may needed to alter the partition to split it into two. Than you can clone a preinstalled partition on the new partition or install windows to go through usb pc connection for example. The only problem left is than how to boot into the second new partition, but which should be possible with an altered kernel of the main android system for dual boot. Many of these exist for other devices so it shouldnt be too difficulty to create one for yt3p. But sadly Im not fond enough with Android to create such.

Alternatively installing a custom recovery which supports usb boot may be a solution, but seriously I dont know any which does.

Your thoughts on it ?

Besides if you can enter bios, and maybe Ill succeed somehow, too, disabling secure boot and activate legacy OS could be the thing. If this works than fully erasing the tabs drive and installing windows to go or cloning partition as mentioned above could be a real way to go.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] joesnose:
Booting from another partition is a fine idea. Is there a gparted app for android? I am a bit weary of messing with the internal partitions as I don't know if a recovery flash or even a fastboot flash would correct this if it went wrong

There is an option in the bios to choose next boot device, something like that, however only the internal drive shows up...not the sdcard or USB otg.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] Zladimir:
I think more or less yes, but I thought more to mount the tab as an usb drive, if it is possible somehow.

Can you explain me how you exactly managed to boot into bios. I tried again. All he did was rebooting back into the error code 03 screen.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] joesnose:
Have you flashed recovery? Don't know if that makes a difference.

I haven't booted to bios since updating so I will give it a try, but it should still work.

From recovery choose the bios option, should give a warning and if you accept restart to bios.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] Zladimir:
Not flashed recovery yet. Did you ? Is it safe with yt3p ?

Thats exactly what I did. If I could come there I could try about creating two partitions to dual boot. Maybe you made something different when rooted/unlocked than me ..
[Thinkpad Tablet General] joesnose:
It is safe to flash twrp as long as you have made a backup of your stock recovery.

Yesterday I grid the boot to bios option and it did give we just a black screen, then I did a hard reset and it went straight to bios.

I can not warn enough about being careful in the BIOS. V+ and V- to navigate, Power button is enter and long press V+ is ESC, probably V- as well but I just use V+
[Thinkpad Tablet General] Zladimir:
Whatever I do I cant reach bios. Else it goes off in black screen (if I have my OTG USB connected) or it just blindly restarts (without OTG conntected). If I flash twrp directly to recovery to try to boot than into bios, he just restarts tablet once I try to enter recovery. Its like cursed. ^^ Any idea what I could have missed ? Tried even a hard reset like you without results.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] joesnose:
Strange, not sure what's happening there.

What are you hoping to achieve through dual boot? Would be lacking several drivers me thinks.

Debian no root is a simple way to get Linux running and performance is not bad.

And there is an interesting tequnique someone used to get windows running on an Intel android phone but it involves building a kernel with correct modules. And if what everyone says is true the kernel sources lenovo released for our tabs is incomplete.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] Frenchdroid:
Topic hijack - do you know if I could stream Steam games from my PC to the YT3 Pro using Debian No Root that you mentioned ? I'd love to play Xcom and other turn based stuff.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] Zladimir:
Do you have a link to these technique ?

Would like to try to get win10 on my tablet.

[Thinkpad Tablet General] joesnose:
Something is wrong, internal should give you a value! Do you have an sd card to try?
[Thinkpad Tablet General] ernst99999:
It took some time to get a SD card. Now i have rebooted to recovery and i can make a backup to the sd card.

Did make a backup of the following partitions:

- Bootloader (36Mb)

- Boot (30Mb)

- Recovery (30Mb)

- Cache (0Mb)

- Config (0MB)

- Factory (0Mb)

- Misc (0MB)

- Country (0Mb)

- system (3272 MB)

Skipped data (0 Mb)

Copies the file from the Sd card also to my pc for extra backup ;)

Will this be enough to continue with the root procedure?
[Thinkpad Tablet General] joesnose:
You may as well continue as you already lost recovery. Lol

Stock recovery twrp backup.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] mletchworth:
Do you happen to have the stock recovery for the 2GB version of YT3-X90F?? I must have deleted mine at some point, probably when I went from Beta Marshmallow to official. Tablet is working great, but there's an OTA update notification that keeps popping up. I'd like to update but it won't work with custom recovery.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] ernst99999:
Thanks

Everything is working great. Thanks for the recovery img and the assistance.

Now my tablet is rooted and with TWRP recovery. But i can go back if there is a new update ;)

Last question: is it already possible to use SuperSU in stead of Magisk what is recommended in your manual.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] joesnose:
I havnt tried supersu recently, but when i first got the 4gb with marshmallow i tried lots and it just caused bootloops!

Also there is a few issues with magisk, maybe fixed with latest updates but i have my tablet all set up so havnt bothered updating. I could only install magisk modules from recovery, it never worked in magisk manager. Perhaps it works now.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] joesnose:
Stock recovery 2GB marshmallow? I never had marshmallow on my 2GB version.

I would guess that the 4GB one i just uploaded would work, worth a try you can always flash twrp back if it fails.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] mletchworth:
I'll give it a shot. I'm pretty happy with how it's running on marshmallow. Perfectly usable tablet now. It's just annoying the software update notification keeps popping up. I'm not even sure what the update is supposed to fix/add.

BTW, how do I use these files? Just put them somewhere on the internal storage root?
[Thinkpad Tablet General] joesnose:
I have the same nag but cant be bothered, lol. Tablet is working fine.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] mouralll:
Hello, I have exactely same tab (64Gb, android 6.0.1, no LTE). I'd like to root and unencrypt partition as explained in 1st post.

Could you confirm me that the link of the 1st post would work with this version of tab? Or should I use another links?

Regards
[Thinkpad Tablet General] Shug69:
Links in first post will work fine as long as you stick to the instructions for Marshmallow and root using Magiskt instead of supersu.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] mouralll:
right, it was a bit more complicated that I expected, but it worked fine.

I first try to root with supersu instead of magisk and didnt work... (Stuck at lenovo logo). Then read 40 previous pages and the explanation of grimgrams. I had to restore previous backup. Then do the unencrypt script. Then try. Ok. Then install magisk. Seem ok till now. Definately more smoothly.

I had difficulties to make fastboot work (had to search for proper driver, then for program) But I already did it on other devices. (But I barely do it once a year, so)

You should add this to 1st post :

- link for adb driver

- link for easy fastboot install

- precise 2go supersu / 4go latest magisk in 1st post

- precise work with both 5.1 or 6.0.1 android

- precise work with both wifi/lte version. Not affecting device.

Else is clear

hi there, hi [MENTION=2195656]joesnose[/MENTION]

back a while I hijacked joesnose's twrp(2.8.7) for the yoga tab 3 pro (android) and more or less ported it to fit the yoga book.

until now it served well, but I experience problems right now.

i can't restore any backup that is android 7.1. - it restores successfully but gets stuck in a bootloop with the lenovo logo when trying to boot it.

no usual measures to get out of the bootloop will work (wipe cache/dalvik; format data / factory reset).

i tried several times right now.

the backups with android 6 however work as usual.

so here's my actual question... does anyone experience the same problem (given the fact that you recieved android 7) or has some further information about / solutions for that?

any help is welcome.

[MENTION=2195656]joesnose[/MENTION]: do you still have a device tree for the yoga tab 3 pro. I might try to build a new version of twrp.our devices are pretty similiar, so it might help a lot to get started with your files from the old twrp. would be nice if you contact me.

is tab 3 pro updating to android 7??
[Thinkpad Tablet General] joesnose:
Hi danjac, as far as I am aware there is no nougat for our device. And I was not the coder of the twrp it was a developer called ionioni who got fed up with xda and left taking all his works with him!

Just wanted to say thanks for posting these instructions. I've recently purchase an U. S. SPEC tab 3 pro (2017 version 4gb ram) and I was able to unlock, root and remove the encryption using the instructions provided in this thread.

LENOVO Yoga Tab 3 Pro (YT3-X90L) from China

So, I bought a Lenovo Tab 3 Pro (Model YT3-X90L). There is no Google Play store or services and a bunch of chinese apps.

I downloaded the play store, google play services and google account manager. The store crashes immediately after I open it.

what are my options to make this a normal tablet?

I read the instructions on this thread but I coudn't make the command window to boot the tablet in fastboot mode. Also, I don't know if it is related to being chinese or not, I inserted an external memory card but I can't see it.

Hey!

Do someone have a twrp backup for yt3 x90l 4gb Android 5.1?

Would it possible to downgrade from MM with such a backup?

Cause this Tab seems to only use one battery of two....really annoying, because it has to have a really long standby time, but with actual Fw it stays not longer than one or two days...

Hi, I have tried to root my tablet using this method and got as far as using fastboot (or whatever it is called, I forget) and when in this boot mode my win10 pc cmd cannot see the device and I found it to be a missing kernel boot driver thing in Windows. Anyone know the bootloader driver for accessing the tablet during fastboot stage?

P.s. When not in boot the other pc software adb is able to see it and my fastboot works so must be the missing driver. When in fastboot mode the device manager shows a missing android kernel driver.
