Command window

I couldnt get any flash tools to work... because the tools required a scatter file ... (partition layout file)

Which fstab and the csc pit file are supposed to do... when normally flashing (through odin and other utilities)

As for the chinese crap... dont download that rom... i did it... and flashed... was a nightmare trying to work around that rom...

Download the rom i posted ... 2 posts up ^^^^^^^

Open adb terminal (windows shell/command inside of the adb folder)

*note* i copied my CMD executable to my adb folder .. makes life easier all the time...

Run adb reboot recovery (this should take you to stock recovery)

In recovery ... select update from adb ...

This should open up adb sideload... (on device)

Now type( in CMD) adb sideload (the rom) i drag my rom zip to the windows CMD windows ... makes it so you dont have to type a 20 minute directory to your rom.zip..

This should unbrick your device...

Sideload will take 15-20 minutes ... then boot..

Hi Yamaha 169,

I really appreciate your post/reply but nothing seems to work on this device. Adb command says 'device not found'. It cannot boot into recovery by any means. when I press the power and vol. up button, the lenovo logo come up with a beep and 'fastboot oem unlock' command will show 'error, ..... device locked'. How can I fix this please help.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] Yamaha169:
Fastboot flash ....

If nothing else is working.... try to extract the stock recovery.img and stock boot.img from the firmware...

(This can be done with pretty much any zip program)

Move files into your adb folder... or where ever you are running fastboot from...

Boot the device to bootloader...

Run these commands...

Fastboot devices (just to make sure phone/pc are talking)

Fastboot flash boot boot.img

Fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

Fastboot reboot

You should get a verification after each file flashes...

It will show the upload % ... then say completed after each file is flashed...

Let me know if that works...

Once you have the stock recovery booting... sideload the entire zip to return to stock .

Fastboot

Firstly... your device is a YT-850F model ?

Secondly... have you installed the lenovo device drivers?

Does your device communicate with fastboot as normal?

(Fastboot devices returns your device # in terminal?)

Have you tried entering recovery or bootloader with the power/vol buttons?

Fix wrong update YT3-850F firmware into YT3-X50

I will assume you know how to use adb and the firmware link is in the replys on the bottom. God he saved me.

*Done - AndroidFileHost. – Andy Yan Dec 6 '16 at 1:17

Thank the nice guy who download and put the firmware to a host. I had trouble finding the firmware since it is all in chinese. And I did the same thing you did which is updating YT3-850F into YT3-X50 :). To be specific I used the update file from the beginning of the post. Silly me who love risk taking. Got black screen with sound, so to fix it you need to

Install adb drivers if needed.

1 .download the correct firmware.

2. put firmware in your adb folder.

3. make sure your tablet is off, then press Vol Up (the rocker away from the battery side) It will boot into recovery with back screen.

4. Panic as the screen will dim once. it means the menu select is up.

5. Panic as you Press Vol Down once then Press power. It should go into adb sideload mode.

6. now adb sideload <firmware> in your cmd.

7. Wait and you can see the progress on your cmd window.

8. When it get to 100%, it means it is done. Press power button on the tablet. It will restart and you can stop your panic.

hello, anyone faced the issue with bricked tablet YT3-850F after doing wrong update.zip? i cannot boot into recovery or download mode. it is just recognized by the PC as qualcomm and i can see it on the QPST software, however i cannot do anything from there. Any help ? i would appreciate it much!

any luck?
[Thinkpad Tablet General] Yamaha169:
You need to set up adb terminal... those qfil, and qualcom programs wouldnt work without a generated file from the firmware image, which had to do with the partition mapping.. even after i got the device reconginized... there was nothing you could do with it... i did this with 3 other programs as well..

My end solition was to fastboot flash the firmware.update package. You can do it by following my posts... and the firmware link is available there somewhere too.

Bricked Yoga tab 3-850M

Hi,

recently while experimenting I bricked my Lenovo YT3-850M. now I have twrp installed on my yoga. but I'm unable to find custom ROM or original ROM for my yoga 3 tab. I got some of them on the internet but most of them were for 850F or 850L and not for 850M. I'm also not able to start Lenovo yoga in the bootloader. While flashing those for 850L/F I'm getting stuck at Lenovo boot screen. also, those ROMs also changes my recovery from twrp to the original. now I'm totally stuck and not finding any solution for it. please tell me how I can unbrick my YT3-850M. I would be grateful for that. please post some ROM file for 850M too.

Thanks in Advance.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] Yamaha169:
Adb doesnt seem to be recognizing your device, double check Qualcomm drivers,

Update to latest adb platform tools.

Make sure you see fastboot is in the tools folder ...

(As adb is generic, i have seen some compilations without fastboot, most of todays packages include it, but just verify its there 🤙)

Keep at the drivers until you get a return from the

fastboot devices - command. You should see your tablets device id...

If this continues to fail... Look into a lenovo restore tool.

Example: Qualcomm used MSM tool for OnePlus..

Someone is the posts mentioned

QPST Tool - Qualcomm Product Support Tools (QPST)

Download the latest QPST Tool (QPST Flash Tool) to Flash or install the Stock firmware on Qualcomm smartphones, feature phones, and tablets.

I took an 850F recovery

(credits to 7 max kernel)

Changed the fstab pit mapping to read the correct mount points for the 850M recovery...

There were 2 or 3 that were pointing at the wrong partition designed for the F/L devices.

Ill have to apologize though, as i think i may have deleted my custom recovery.

Someone rehost?

(As i dont plan on rewriting another)

I no longer own this tablet. 👌 Srry fellas.

Ok, so here is what probably happen. You flashed the boot.img for the G530A (You can see that in the SE status). I will be trying to see if I managed to get the firmware for your phone. I can't assure I will but I will try!

However if you are willing to reset your phone you can try this.

I don't think, it would be possible to do so due to Samsung KNOX Bootloader. But if it is you need to find the firmware to flash on ODIN, you find someone willing to make a system.img from their phone (Must be a G530AZ). Using KIES it is only possible to recover the lastest firmware available.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Accessories] YodaJM:
Hey all,

My Tilt is on the way from AT&T, and I'm looking at cases. The cases that seem to interest me all use magnetic studs. Some have said the magnetic studs can keep the Tilt turned on.

The 2 I like the most are the following:

PDair Book Type

ebay "Premium" Kaiser Case

Anyone had any experience with these or other similar cases with magnetic studs in a similar spot causing problems?

Thanks!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Accessories] jinnosuke:
Dont want to hijack your thread but since your on the topic of that case anyone try "PDair Book Type"? Is it still possible to press the keys with the plastic over it?... It doesn't look like it, i seems like you would be pressing more than one button at a time with that plastic over the keyboard.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Accessories] MrSlacker:
I think you'll be able to press the keys, but it wont be as good as without the case. As you said, you'll prolly press several buttons at onces and wont get the same feel when typing.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Accessories] augustine:
I've used a Prestige case with magnetic closure for a year or more with my AT&T 8525. Never noticed a problem. I'm now using the case with my Tilt, but that's only been a few days. Haven't noticed anything yet, however.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Accessories] 3waygeek:
I'm using the PDAir flip case -- the magnetic stud doesn't affect anything. The plastic keyboard cover isn't too bad -- I haven't noticed any problems with multiple keypresses, but it does affect the feel of the keyboard.

I'm looking forward to the Piel Frama case, which should be coming out in the next few weeks. They had a really good case for my old Wizard that used a narrow leather strap & snap to hold the device in the case; you'd unsnap the strap to access the keyboard.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Accessories] RemE:
Depends on the magnet strength and location, there have been a few reports of the magnet turning on the phone. The kaiser keyboard uses a magnetic sensor to turn on the phone when the keyboard opens. I'm using a hip holster with mag and not seeing any issue.

I'd say should anyone have the issue, start a thread with brand/model listed for others to avoid.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Accessories] jetjock:
I have the Seidio case I originally bought for my 8525.

http://www.seidioonline.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=394

The two magnets would always "trick" the screen into thinking the keyboard was open and switch it to landscape mode. I always had to wait a few seconds for the screen to switch back when I took it out of the case.

This does NOT happen with the Tilt. The screen stays in portrait mode. I have always liked the quality of the case and the magnets in the flap make it easy to open and shut. So now it is my perfect solution.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Accessories] tnt533:
no issues here

I have been using a case with two magnetic studs on the flip closure for months now and have had zero issues. Bought mine at Fred Meyers and recomend anyone in need of a good black leather horizontal pouch case to check it out. was 15 dollars and is of the same quality and fit as 40 dollar cases you may see online.

cheers
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Accessories] luckystrike6:
I've been using a Motorola Case designed for the Q9 with my Tilt and it's worked out quite well. It also has a single magnetic stud closure and I have noticed no issues at all.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Accessories] ZzFDKzZ:
I bought the PDair Book Type case same week the Tilt first came out here in the U.S. I have had no problems at all. Non of that shutting off by itself thingy people complain about.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Accessories] sahoopes:
Magnetic cases

Some cases cause screen to wake up, some don't. To eliminate the problem just turn off Slide Wake option in registry. When slide wake is enabled opening the keyboard (or getting too close to a magnet) will wake the screen. Turn this option off and you can use magnetic clasps at will.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Traviesoman:
Yes you can do with Flashfire.

Si se puede yo lo hago de las 2 formas y resulta.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Synomenon:
Would ES File Explorer be able to do this? If not, which file explorer would you recommend?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] wedmiston:
I did not see the original bootanimation.zip file under /system/media, so I renamed the four samsung files (bootsamsung11; bootsamsungloop22; bootsamsungmini33 and bootsamsungminiloop44) from .qmg to .bak, then copied the new boot animation zip file I grabbed to /system/media. I still have the Samsung audio but just black screen before it went right to home screen...no new animation. Did I miss a step? I'm not finding posts on doing this with Flashfire (which would seem logical since it would be so easy). If I go this route, I would copy the boot animation.zip to /system/media, then run Flashfire and flash it , correct? Thats it?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] devcon69:
The boot animation i uploaded is not flashable with any recovery tools .Just use root browser/explorer. Extract all the qmg files and replace the qmg's in system>media folder. :D
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] wedmiston:
I did NOT find a bootanimation.zip in /system/media. All the sites and videos that describe doing this refer to it. I found one place on XDA indicating that the GS4 does NOT uhave the bootanimation.zip file and instead uses only the qmg files...that was what was throwing me off.. I found the Android Lollipop bootup (that uses qmg files), replaced the existing qmg files.... and it worked.

Then I explored how to change the audio as it was silent. I made a custom .ogg file using the THX movie theatre intro (you'll recognize it instantly when you hear it) which seemed like the perfect techie bootup sound. Found a site to cut its length (its a bit too long to match the boot up animation) and Presto!! I have this amazingly cool bootup animation with the perfect audio to match! The audio file won't upload here but you can get it here: http://www.thx.com/thx-deep-note/

Use an mp3 grabber such as http://www.listentoyoutube.com/, then cut it down (I cut off the first 10-12 seconds) using http://mp3cut.net/. Convert it to an ogg (http://www.zamzar.com) and replace the existing PowerOn.ogg in /system/media/audio/ui with the new file (renamed to match). Rename and keep the old one as a .bak file in case you ever want that Samsung sound again.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Airsoftjunky:
Es file explorer will/can if that directory exists. Enable root mode to access system files. Be careful not to change anything unless you are very sure you know what is is.
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] Pablo_0101:
Hi, i would downgrade to emui 2.3 because the rom that i have (B708) is drinking my battery, can i without any risks? If i can, how?
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] latestduo:
You can look around on the forums and I'm sure you will find the proper tutorial and download links but basically you need to:

1. Flash stock recovery using ADB in fastboot mode

2. Using stock recovery you then perform an "update" using file which you put in the folder "dload" (update.app) Note: This isn't a ROM its just a "preinstall" for flashing another update.app file

3. Then you update the rom once again with the proper update.app which is I believe b132. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

4. Then finally once you boot into b132 you will get a notification for an update to b520 (not sure since it varies from region) or you can go into Settings and do a manual check for an update and then you can update and if you so desire you can enter the recovery once more to wipe data and cache so its basically brand new.

If I do have the time maybe I will link you the downloads to the stock recovery, update.app file and b132, but I'm not promising anything

Also one more thing, I recommend not flashing chinese builds if you really don't have to because these can brick your phone.

Good luck and have fun.

EDIT: You can also flash some of the ROMs on here that are based on emui 2.3

EDIT 2: Heres a guide you can follow but it seems that the links are broken... Link to the Guide

EDIT 3: Found the links :

Stock Recovery (To flash it, put the .img file into the folder of Minimal ADB, open ADB and type fastboot flash recovery stockrecoveryP6U06.img)

Unicom 2.0 (need to flash this as update.app first, after flashing it will say that it failed but don't worry its supposed to happen)

Emui 1.6 b132 (needs to be extracted first, flash after Unicom 2.0 same way)

EDIT 4: If you need further help or instructions just ask, I'll gladly explain all the steps since I recently downgraded back to stock aswell :D

[General Questions and Answers] id012016:
Can anyone confirm that its not possible to flash a foreign firmware unless the phone is network unlocked ?

But could it be possible to flash an efs image from an unlocked phone before flashing a different firmware ?
[General Questions and Answers] Planterz:
The main concern would be that the firmware is for an identical device, because they often differ physically. Single SIM vs dual, Snapdragon vs Exynos, etc. I don't know why carrier lock would have anything to do with it.

I don't know if this is relevant or not, but on my USA T-Mobile Galaxy S4 I use Omega ROM, which changes my device from sgh-m919 to sgh-i9505 (international model). The side-effect is that it sometimes thinks I'm in the UK, even though I have my location set to where I am. For example, I can't use the Amazon app because it loads amazon.co.uk instead of amazon.com and the keyboard often tries inserting a superfluous (in an American's opinion) "u" to words like flavo(u)r and colo(u)r.
