As far as I have read it theoretically should bring at least temporary root (because of dm_verity and Sony RIC we won't be able to touch System partition AFAIK) :/

Temporary root still has value though and regarding that all older firmwares are affected, exploiting should be beneficial nonetheless.

Guys, is anyone else experiencing lack of search bar within the status bar? I've been rebooting countless times, messing around with xposed etc. but can't bring it back :(

I've noticed that it was missing from the very beginning after i've made a clean install, before installing xposed and the rest of stuff.

Edit: Just found out that global rom is deprived of search app. That's a pity considering the fact that xiaomi.eu roms are full of bugs :( No sorrow towards devs, they do a great job, but these builds seem to act pretty randomly on different devices.

In my case I couldn't download faster than 500kB/s no matter if I was on Wi-Fi or LTE, multiple apps were constantly losing connection too. Global works great in terms of this, I get decent download speeds and no apps have lost connectivity so far, hope it's gonna stay that way.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] ElBoz:
Hello,

I am a newbie ans I would like to install a clean and fast rom on my TyTn II,

and to remove all the Orange stuff

If I well understood what I read I have to :

1 un simlock my htc

2 use Hard SPL to remove the SuperCID.

3 download a rom

4 install the rom on my microSd card

I have some question about all thoses step :

-Do I missed one step?

-What is radio I do not really undestand it?and what can be the impact on my phone ( I am with Orange France) ?

-Do the WM6 is include in the rom?

-Do I will lose my office word and excel?

-All the Orange stuff will be remove?

-Which rom is very stable and clean ( for a newbie)?

Thanks for your answers

Pascal
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] charbz:
One thing I must say is thankyou for doing your reading first - you set a good example.

One thing I must point out is that when you download the ROM, the ROM chef's who put them up for download usually include it with 2 files:

-kaiser_RUU.exe

-RUU_signed.nbh

All you need to do is make sure activesync is syncing up with your phone, then run kaiser_ruu.exe, and follow the prompts. There is no need to install anything on the memory card.

-Do I missed one step?

No, you haven't missed any steps.

-What is radio I do not really undestand it?and what can be the impact on my phone ( I am with Orange France) ?

I'm not 100% sure on this, but the radio is the software in the phone which acts as an interface between the reciever and the network. If you aren't having any reception or service issues, then it'd be best not to do anything to your radio. Usually, a ROM chef will point out whether or not they have included a radio update.

-Do the WM6 is include in the rom?

Yes. All kaiser ROMs are WM6.

-Do I will lose my office word and excel?

It depends on whether or not the ROM chef has removed it from their ROM. In their ROM description, it will usually explain what's in the ROM, or what's been taken out. You'd want to look for pocket office.

-All the Orange stuff will be remove?

Unless you download a ROM which strictly states that it has Orange settings, then yes, all the Orange stuff will be removed, but don't worry, because internet connectivity settings will automatically be configured by the phone when you start it up for the first time.

-Which rom is very stable and clean ( for a newbie)?

I'm very very happy with:

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] odyseus:
I don't think you have to 'un simlock my htc' - Flashing the ROM only requires the Hard SPL..

I personally would go for a large ROm to start with eg 'Austinsync's bigstorage

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=336509

or go for many of the lite versions and add your own cab's. Then backup using Sprite od SPB backup..

Saving original ROM is useful especially if you intend to return the phone for a waranty repair
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] charbz:
Yes, it's always useful to save your ROM if there aren't any readily available versions of your existing type of ROM out there.

If you can get it working, then it would be great to have it backed up, in the situation that you need to make a warranty claim.

I'd recommend to use this USB driver for the Flash Tool instead. It is signed, meaning you don't have to disable driver signature enforcement, and it's very easy to install in Windows 8 and 10.

Hi,

Firstly [MENTION=7510323]PhatBmt009[/MENTION]: I wanted to express my sincere thanks for the TB3-710I ROM which has allowed me to unbrick my device (which is a huge relief as it belongs to my employer :)).

If you have access to any other releases that would also be helpful.

[MENTION=5919159]Tzul[/MENTION] any pointers on generating a custom recovery for the TB3-710I? I've looked into some of the TWRP porting guides but these seem dated and your recovery does not seem to work.

I'm capable of getting around Linux, git, etc. and figuring stuff out so I'd be looking for an intro and a place to ask questions.

Thanks

[MENTION=7510323]PhatBmt009[/MENTION] I can try to make TWRP for the TB3-710I, but without having this model, I obviously can't test it properly.

And I would need some information about the device first.

The contents of the files

/proc/dumchar_info

/proc/emmc

/proc/partinfo

/proc/partitions

They contain information about the partitioning. Not all of these files might exist.

A listing of the /dev directory (requires root), e.g. this will create the listing and save it to /sdcard/devices.txt:

su -c ls -la /dev > /sdcard/devices.txt

Other stuff I should be able to get from the released firmware.

[MENTION=7703419]LordZener[/MENTION] Thanks for the files! I forgot one thing: TWRP must use the same screen orientation as the stock recovery, therefore I also need to know whether the recovery on the TB3-710I is portrait or landscape.

[Miscellaneous Android Development] bouke:
is there a way to format the tablet and flash all over, including removing and creating all partitions?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Tzul:
[MENTION=319956]bouke[/MENTION] Try flashing the latest firmware with the SPFT, in "Firmware Upgrade" mode. Do NOT use "Format All + Download" mode, that will erase product info and NVRAM.

Thank you, terima kasih. I also use the normal rom and after flashing getting the error, the tab3 is vibrating and can't start, you save the tab3.

Glad that it works for you too :D

Unfortunately I havent tried myself on the TWRP/rooting part after I restored that tab, as it is my wife's tab and she is using it daily. So I have no time to brick it for the second time. LOL.

I'm just looking to twrp/superSu them, but haven't been successful with flashing twrp to recovery. Is it possible for the latest tablets? Has anyone been successful?

EDIT:

I've managed to flash [MENTION=5919159]Tzul[/MENTION] 's TB3-710F_S000028_170316_ROW but still unable to get TWRP to work like it had with previous TB3's.

Spec of our latest tablets below. Has anyone managed to TWRP/root the newest TB3s?

Manufacture Date: 2017-09-26

Build: TB3-710F_S000028_170316_ROW

Software Version: TB3-710F_170316

Model: TB3-710F

Android: 5.0.1

Kernel: 3.10.54

Ram 1gb/Rom 16gb

I attempted fastboot flash recovery <path-to-twrp-file.img> and got back 'Failed: remote download for partition 'recovery' is not allowed

I then attempted fastboot oem unlock (successfully), and then retried fastboot flash recovery <path-to-twrp-file.img> (which completed successfully)

I then tried fastboot reboot, but the tablet is stuck in a boot loop of the lenovo icon. Is that a sign that something has changed with the latest manufactured tablets?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] kevx01:
any update for this thread? i can't make fastboot to work normally either, noticed the same error, just bought this tablet also, when I tried the SPFT procedure I can't trigger the payload to download, it's like the tool can't write to the device, thanks for those who'll share their experiences

UPDATE!!!!

so I've managed to bypass the error by unlocking the bootloader using

fastboot oem unlock

but instead of flashing twrp right after, I decided to reboot the device first, the device rebooted similar to a fresh install mode (therefore before doing this make sure you make a backup of your personal files)

I activated USB debugging again, went adb > fastboot and flashed twrp normally,

it was succesfull, then I rebooted quickly to recovery and TWRP successfully worked,

hopefully this info provides insights for those with the same problems when working with adb

(btw, there could be an instance when your device can't be recognized when in fastboot mode, such problems could be resolved by checking your device manager for "unknown devices" and updating their drivers, )
[Miscellaneous Android Development] mrhaverty:
Good to hear [MENTION=8541059]kevx01[/MENTION] , I tried your steps but I'm still just getting the stock android/lenovo recovery. I've tried flashing TWRP using Smart Phone Flash Tool, and in fastboot mode using

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

after a successful oem unlock and reset up + enable usb debugging as you suggested.

I have a feeling TWRP is actually being flashed, but android/lenovo is resetting the recovery image back to stock.

Can you clarify your last few steps?

Flashing TWRP in fastboot mode, did you flash with

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

or using the SPFT tool?

How did you reboot? (Hardware or adb/fastboot command?)

I think it's the last step that's causing the issues. The 'fastest' i've gotten it to reboot is by running

fastboot reboot

and then

adb reboot recovery

Thanks for coming back with the good news! I had given up
[Miscellaneous Android Development] kevx01:
I've used normal adb, not SPFT

After typing "fastboot reboot" in cmd and the device turned off again I quickly press Vol up and power key, it should boot to twrp

It should be easier to boot to twrp directly:

Fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
