[MENTION=6271595]atrx_1987[/MENTION] I don't know why Android File Host "lost" the file for a while, but now one mirror has it again.

What gave you the idea that it's for Android 5.0 and not 5.1? It's not, and it doesn't matter, it should even work with Android 4.4.

Anyway, since I don't have a TB3-710I, I could never properly test it.

Having the same problem here. Did you find out any fix yet?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] hamsteyr:
Lovely, came to the forum to find out that other people are having the same problem. Trying to flash it out I keep getting either a BROM ERROR : S_FT_ENABLE_DRAM_FAIL (0xFC0) or BROM ERROR : S_FT_ENABLE_DRAM_FAIL (4032) Error.

For reference, I've got the TB3-710I Model Type ZA0S (Got from Malaysia Ministry of Education).

Anyone got a fix?

[Miscellaneous Android Development] Cupcake 1.5:
Is anyone working on a rom for this tablet? I bought the essentials one because there were loads of good ratings for this cheap tablet, however, it is unbelievably laggy and I will have to return it unless there is likely to be a custom build. I know from past experience, stock ROMs can be a nightmare in the lag department until a custom ROM is flashed and the difference is night and day.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] creezalird:
Hi all, I also recently stucked into the "vibrating" mode after trying to flash the provided firmware into my recently acquired tablet (my wife is the teacher. LOL).

Good news, it has been revived.

Basically you guys need to create a rom dump using miracle box from another working tablet (just borrowed one from your colleagues)

And flash it again using SPFT (use the scatter from the firmware inside this thread)

Forgot to mention, I used the "Format all+Download" option in SPFT
[Miscellaneous Android Development] DevilyWan88:
Can you share the ROM? Bcoz i dun have anyone​ that have this tablet. Thanks for helping btw.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] hamsteyr:
Yep, can you share the ROM? I don't have any spares lying around and it would be very helpful if you did.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Tzul:
You don't need Miracle Box, you can make a Readback with the SPFT, like I've explained before. (Note that a readback of the preloader made this way must first be adjusted before it can be used! You need to delete the first 2048 bytes of the preloader readback, e.g. with a hex editor.)

No, no, NO! NEVER use "Format all+Download"!

It really does format everything, including important hidden partitions like NVRAM. You're trashing your IMEI and MAC addresses this way, if you don't have a backup of your own device. Because if you restore some other person's NVRAM, then both of you will have the same IMEI and MAC addresses, which isn't good to say the least.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] hamsteyr:
I never had any porblems with IMEI or MAC being erased when I used this command, and I've tried using it before on my Alcatel IdolX S920.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Tzul:
You probably did, but just haven't noticed.

MediaTek-based Android devices have a "hidden" partition called "nvram" (non-volatile random access memory) that stores some configuration data for some hardware, including IMEI (if the device has a SIM slot), and MAC addresses for WLAN and Bluetooth. These things are supposed to be unique for every single device. If two devices with the same MAC are trying to use the same network for example, you will get problems.

The data in that nvram partition isn't used directly. Instead, when Android first boots, it gets "unpacked" to /data/nvram, i.e. a subfolder on the userdata partition. Newer MediaTek devices use /nvdata instead, which is a small, dedicated ext4 partition.

Now, if you do something stupid that deletes nvram (like using Format All), then you won't even notice any effects if you restore /data/nvram or /nvdata from some backup. But as soon as you do a factory reset from within Android, this extracted nvram data gets wiped... on the next boot Android tries to unpack the actual nvram partition again, which doesn't exist anymore, and voilà, errors and problems.

Format All will also delete the proinfo (product info) partition, which Lenovo uses to store your personal serial number and some other data. Trashing that won't be good either, if you ever need to send in the device under warranty.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] hamsteyr:
I understand your concerns and I think maybe it's valid for some devices, but on checking settings and what not, IMEI is still there, and MAC addresses are all intact. Phone connects to network and wifi all fine to this day.

Now I'm not saying it's safe to do it, but maybe that it's not end of the world if you did either.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Tzul:
If you actually read what I'd wrote, then you'd realize that it could appear to be intact because you still have the unpacked data (/data/nvram or /nvdata), even after you've killed nvram.

You can easily enough test my claims: Make a complete backup of your device (including nvram and everything). Then use "Format All + Download" to flash a normal firmware. Boot Android and go to the WLAN settings, you should see an error.

The fact remains that it's irresponsible to tell people to use "Format All + Download" in the SPFT. If you do this, you most likely have no clue what the different modes actually do. Of course it's not the "end of the world", but it will mess up your MediaTek device.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] wisdom22:
Sir, I need help.. I've Lenovo Tab3 710i.. It was successfully bricked (I thought at 1st).. After the green circle/successful tick, I pressed the power on button on my tab. The result is the tab was black screen and keep vibrating every few seconds.. When I connect it back to my laptops (tried with both Linux OS and Windows OS) and try to brick it again using SP flash tool.. The error 4045 (Enable DRAM failed) were appeared.. I've disconnect the battery and try it again.. Still error 4045..

Any ideas how to fix it?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] creezalird:
I didnt made myself clear previously. I already tried the normal "Download" only and the device still would not boot. Thats why I tried the next way.

Yes, people should always try the "Download" only first. But in my case, I tried all options and only "Formal All + Download" worked for me.

And yes, IMEI was gone. But I have the data on the box itself, I rewrote the IMEI using the Engineering Mode.

And for MAC Address, I didnt checked if it is the same as the one from the backup as it is not my concern. Besides wifi is working and the device is working fine. MAC Address is there. It is just MAC Address, it can be spoofed to anything else.

Anyway, I am not trying to debate whats wrong or whats not. I am relatively new with Mediatek device (my first Mediatek device).

So cheers :D

You mentioned that you are able to unbrick a TB3-710I ? How is that done ? Did you just flash the device with the roms provided ?

I am also trying to fix a TB3-710I for someone else . Any help would be much appreciated . Thank You.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Eugene Sach:

Is the firmware in the thread not compatible with these tablets from the Malaysian Ministry of Education ? Any help or response is very much appreciated . Thank You .

Re: Flashing your stock ROM

The stock ROM clicked and worked out fine. However, I realized I really needed to actually get another tablet of the same kind here so that I can get the similar apps and features, or lest so I can root it.

Hi, Creezalid. Can you PM me the link too? My friend's tablet also have the same problem.

Can i use this firmware for TAB 3 X70L too ?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Tzul:
[MENTION=7418085]henryjack1995[/MENTION] Of course not, the TB3-X70L is a different line. It's 10 inch (X=10) for starters.

I have uploaded the official firmware and updates of the TB3-X70L here (be careful not to use the TB3-X70F files). Since I don't have the tablet, I couldn't test them, so use at your own risk.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] mmnspeed:
Hi,Would it be possible for you to port twrp recovery for Lenovo Tab 3 10 plus as well?I have been following your posts on Lenovo forums.Now that Lenovo has ditched the tablet,I just hope of rooting the device and getting multiwindow working on it.Only catch is that my Tablet doesn't have warranty in my country.If i mess it up,I am on my own.Haven't even been able to find the stock rom for the plus version to fall back on in case anything goes wrong.You are the only person I have seen who has done some work for the business model.Please do consider the plus version as well,if it doesn't take too much of your time.I am ready to provide anything related to my tablet.However be warned that I am just a normal user,not an advanced one.You can guide me if you need any infromation or files from the plus version.Thanks.

Edit:If I just had some way to flash the tablet back with a plus version factory rom,I would even test your current files.I have used Samsung, xiaomi and even barnes and noble devices so far.Each one of them I could easily get working in case of a brick.This is my first Lenovo device and I am throughly disappointed.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Tzul:
[MENTION=5610854]mmnspeed[/MENTION] I could probably do it, but without having the tablet right in front of me for testing, it's too much of a hassle.

Do you have a TB3-X70F Plus (WiFi only), or a TB3-X70L Plus (WiFi+4G)? I know of a factory ROM for the latter, but unfortunately not the former.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] mmnspeed:
I can understand.My tablet is the wifi only one.I could test for you,but without a factory ROM,I am afraid I have no way to restore the tablet from a brick.I read your posts with the guy who had flashed your business model recovery. I don't know much about dm-verity and how to backup the complete ROM in that case.When there is no workable twrp in the first place,as you suggested for backing up(I might have gotten it wrong).Let us hope there is something for the TB3-X70F(Wifi) in future.Thanks.

Edit:Please do share it if you stumble upon something.

Hi,

I tried to flash one of these stock roms only to root my lenovo tab 3 710F. Now the device is in a boot loop. Can't go into recovery mode or bootloader. Can't be recognized by PC.

[Miscellaneous Android Development] Tzul:
Both are "correct", S000020 is simply older. The current firmware for the TB3-710F is S000028. I haven't had time to upload that yet, but you can use the normal OTA updates to get from S000025 to S000028.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Hakkinen3K:

[Miscellaneous Android Development] bouke:
today, my son had a ota update which resulted in a blank screen.

my doughter having the same tablet, and apparently already had the update has no problems.

because i tried factory reset on my son's tablet, i noticed he was on the same firmware as my doughter "tb3-710f_s000028_170316_row"

i managed to download the 000020 firmware, but after that the tablet says , after trying a system update, that the tablet is up to date, tho my doughter is on 000028, same as my son was.

the 000028_170316 is nowhere to be found.

what went wrong ?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Tzul:
[MENTION=319956]bouke[/MENTION] Why did you flash S000020 when the newer S000025 is available? S000020 does not receive updates from the Lenovo server, it's a known issue.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Hakkinen3K:
:confused:eek:k, here we go again., can't install TWRP flashtool says it's ok (recovery) but when i want to go to recovery is stock not twrp.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] bouke:
[MENTION=5919159]Tzul[/MENTION]

Because the 000025 gave me errors while trying to flash.

First I thought the download was corrupt, so I downloaded the file again, but second download also gave me some kind of crc errors when adding it to sp flash tool.

That being said, I tried the 000020 and that went fine.

So if you can provide me a good flashing tut, or a good 000025 link that would be appreciated.

Btw, both files I downloaded from androidfilehost, having your name in the list.

One found trough Google,

Second trough xda developers.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Tzul:
[MENTION=319956]bouke[/MENTION] I just downloaded and flashed S000025 and it worked flawlessly, so the problem might be on your end. Which version of the SPFT are you using? You could also try to delete the Checksum.ini file in the firmware folder, it contains the checksums that are verified by the SPFT before flashing.

Anyway, I uploaded the latest (and possibly last) firmware:

TB3-710F_S000028_170316_ROW for the Lenovo Tab 3 7 Essential (TB3-710F, WiFi only)

[MENTION=5796940]Hakkinen3K[/MENTION] If you flashed TWRP properly into the "recovery" partition, then you need to boot it immediately. If you boot Android first, Android will automatically restore the stock recovery! TWRP will disable that mechanism if you allow it to change the system partition.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Tzul:
[MENTION=5796940]Hakkinen3K[/MENTION] Turn on the tablet by pressing and holding power+volumeUP. You can release the power button after the backlight turns on, but keep holding volumeUP for a bit longer.

On some MediaTek-based tablets, this button combination takes you to the boot menu, but for the Tab 3 7 Essential, it directly boots the recovery.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] bouke:
[MENTION=5919159]Tzul[/MENTION].

after removing the checksum file i managed to get 000025 on the tablet, but not whitout errors.

in end up doing a wipe data/factory reset and wipe cache partition after each update.
