[Thinkpad Tablet General] bryanchapman9999:
Hoping someone can help here.

Have a lenovo Yoga tab 2 1050L

Have buggered it up basically and need to flash from the beginning.

Have obtained the flash files from here https://firmwarefile.com/?s=yoga+tablet+2

Have followed many guides on here and clearly the instructions included with the firmware.

Have tried under windows 10 and a Windows 7 VM

I get to the point that the tablet is booted to fastboot (fastboot starting on screen)

fastboot devices gives

Baytrail9C8BEE04	fastboot

The device shows up in the intel platform flash tool, I select the flash.xml file and hit start

here is the log;

The tablet disconnects almost immediately (but always in the same place) and re-connects as a DnX USB Driver and the flash fails

I don't really know where to turn now.
