Here are the Lenovo stock ROM files for the Smart Tab P10 (TB-X705F). These are the genuine files directly from the Lenovo. I have left the huge file names intact.

Original Full Stock ROM: TB_X705F_USER_S000017_20180831_Q00020_ROW.zip

OTA Update #1: TB_X705F_USER_S000017_20180831_Q00020_ROW_TO_TB_X705F_USER_S000037_20181220_Q00020_ROW_WCF52C9502.zip

OTA Update #2: TB_X705F_USER_S000037_20181220_Q00020_ROW_TO_TB_X705F_USR_S200095_190528_Q00332_ROW_WCB7188D82.zip

There is also a Qualcomm tool that LMSA uses behind the scenes. I've included it as it may be helpful for some people.

Qualcomm Tool: QcomDLoader_V1.3.0.2_WithDLL.zip

Enjoy!

a quick question how were you able to upgrade to Android 9, I just bought mine tablet and android version in 8. I tried to check fro updates but it tells me the system is up to date. I also tried to upgrade my tablet via mobile assistant, but when i choose and model. and download the ROM and try to update it that way it tells me its also up to date...
[Android General] Chaser42:
I have a test P10 and I have taken it from the original Oreo stock ROM to Pie several times. Sometime last week I started experiencing the exact same issue. I had that device up to the first OTA update and was ready to install the second OTA update but it acted as if it was fully up-to-date. I got the same result when trying to update via the Android updater or the LMSA tool. It is almost as if Lenovo has rescinded the update.

So I found a workaround.

This actually works with both OTA updates. Copy the OTA update file to your external SD card. It must be the external SD card. Then boot into stock recovery by pressing volume up and power at the exact same time. After it vibrates and the Lenovo screen comes up keep volume up and power pressed for about three more seconds and let go. This should bring up the stock recovery menu. Choose install from SD card. You will see your update zip file. Select that file and the update should install properly.

I have tested this method a couple times now and it definitely works. Let me know if you have any trouble.

[Android General] thepicknick:
oh the problem is i don't have an any SD card I can put into the tablet :( but also what OTA update are you referring too? are you talking about the link you posted in this thread Update 1 update 2? because my build number is newer then those. my build is TB-X705F_S000041_20190322_ROW and that correspond to Android 8
[Android General] Sister-of-Night:
Unable to update to Android 9 :(

I succesfully went back to the stock version, after that had 2 OTA updates... and now I can't update to Android 9 to get rom-file needed to root my device :(( Both Smart assistant and OTA update are writing "your system is up to date"... :(
[Android General] Chaser42:
Currently I only know of one way to install the second OTA update. That is the update that will bring you up to Android 9. It requires that you use an external SD card (even if you just insert one temporarily for this purpose). Per standard Android documentation, you should be able to install the update using ADB sideload but that method is broken. I have only had success updating manually from the external SD card.

Here are the steps to manually install OTA update #2 (Android 9) via the external SD card:

Download the zip file for OTA #2 (I provided a link in a previous post)

Copy that zip file to the top folder of the external SD card.

Boot into stock recovery (power off device then press volume up and power simultaneously).

From the stock recovery menu, choose "Apply update from SD card".

Select the zip file for OTA #2

Profit

I don't know why the P10 currently thinks it is fully up-to-date at Oreo with OTA update #1. I know that it used to work and now it doesn't. I'm not a big conspiracy theorist, but it's almost like Lenovo rescinded the update. This happened a week after I posted the bootloader unlock instructions. Maybe they never meant for the bootloader to be unlocked and they are cooking up a replacement update. But I don't know why they would bother because we already have the copy of the bootloader that allows the unlock and they can never undo that.

I should just use Occam's Razor and go with the simplest solution... Lenovo doesn't seem to know their head from their ass when it comes to the software support of this tablet. Just look at the LMSA tool. It's practically useless. The only thing it gets right is the rescue feature that brings you to the original stock Oreo. Actually, the Qualcomm update tool should get the credit there as LMSA uses that to install the ROM in the background.

This is really great device device, especially considering the price. I have used a lot of tablets and I am very pleased with the P10. The people that designed the P10 from a hardware standpoint did a good job. Even the people who made the stock ROM for Oreo and Pie did a good job. However, the people in charge of the support software are freaking idiots.

Let me know if you run into any problems installing OTA update #2 (Android 9).

Chaser
[Android General] Sister-of-Night:
Android 9

I've called to Lenovo support and they say that this update is expected to come till the end of September. I hope they don't want to fix the opportunity to unlock the bootloader...

P.S. Sorry for possible mistakes in writing, English is not my language :o
[Android General] Chaser42:
Wow, so Lenovo has confirmed that they recalled the update and are coming out with another update next month. I don't really know what to think about that. They will probably roll up the latest Android security updates with the new update. It doesn't make sense that they would recall an update unless they found something wrong with that update. But they still have to deal with the fact that OTA update #2 was released and is running on a lot of P10 tablets in the wild. The new update will have to have the ability to upgrade devices at OTA #2 and devices stuck at OTA #1. As it is, I'm never going to delete my copy of OTA #2. I will make it available on my Mega share if they take it down from the official Lenovo download links.

I'll have to double check, but per my understanding of how OEM locking and unlocking works, Lenovo should not be able to force an OEM lock with an OTA update. The whole point of the security mechanism is that it requires physical access to the device. You can't lock or unlock unless you are able to hold the device in your hand. As it stands, they released a copy of the bootloader into the wild that is capable of performing OEM unlock. Lenovo can't undo that. It will forever be available on fine sites like XDA in a thread like this. :)

Is it possible to replace the motherboard of samsung galaxy s7 g930f to g930fd.

Yes, the phone will then need the FD firmware installed.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Doemaarwat:
Wow. Unbelievable how many threads are opened with problem with the newly released ROM at HTC-e Club. I downloaded my version too from that site the moment I saw announcement here. First of all, I did not get a mail from HTC at all, should have liked that in the first place.

I decided not yet to install. Luckily a good decision it seems according to that huge list of complaints.

Normally a forum is always only full of complaints, no one is posting when all things a good (enough), so that is not surprising me at all.

But of all users that installed this new ROM version, aren't there any people who are satisfied? That is what I was wondering. So just leave you name and a message here if all works well, so I can be convinced to also try this new version myself.

[Edit]Hopefully this list will be long :rolleyes: [/Edit]
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] itsukileung1991:
Apart from a few complaints that I had, I think that there are actually many things that are improved, for example the graphics when you turn portrait to landscape...and this is a remarkable one. And also, you are able to 'zoom in' in the latest Internet Explorer (WM6.1 standard one).
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] jcespi2005:
i was happy user with WM 2003, and later with WM2003 SE, and later with WM5, and later with WM6, and now with WM6.1... so you can say i'm a happy user in general ;) i beleave you can be a happy user with any Mobile OS... i beleave is a choice...

Cheers
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Boinng:
Very happy here. I'm running the official 6.1 ROM with the accompanying HTC SPL (overwriting the Hard SPL I used previously, as mine is a Vodafone branded phone) and it's far more responsive device - no more pauses or missed button presses, very little waiting around generally, and certain tasks like browsing files are markedly quicker. The new features (threaded SMS and improved IE) are good, having the camera and bluetooth fixes in ROM is worthwhile, and the whole package just feels like a much better, snappier device.

If I had to criticise it on anything, I'd say that at times the GPS can be slower to get a lock on - but then, at other times, it seems very quick - so I probably need to test that some more.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] corleno:
Im pretty happy myself

especially when I go from portrait to landscape

it loads up the screen real fast.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Biso007:
Yes I confim being happy by the new official 6.1 release from HTC ... I was never happy with any cooked rom except with only one 2003 rom I had to cook it myself to add certain applications I didn't want to loose them with hard reset ...

with so much due respect to all gurus and chefs here, but playing with the core components and registry tweaks are not gauarnteed to hold against all types of applications a user may decide to install later ... actually this is the main reason for most of complaints.

I only didn't like the new threaded sms, but it's only a matter of small tweak .. but all the rest is so fine for me.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] jpmalum:
After about 3 flashes. a lil bit contented... but not happy.

The only reason i stick with this official rom is because i am kind of a purist, there are other very good roms from various cooks on this forum. But i prefer this one becasue its just generic* and i consider it pure from the manufacturer without person tweaks as a result of peoples personal preferences.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] johanromijn:
Sorry, I'm NOT happy with the latest official HTC 6.1 ROM.

BUT, I'm running udK's Vega R0 WM6.1 ROM for weeks, and I'm very happy with that one!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] rubinho93:
I'm very happy with the original release! It's working very fast here.

My screen flips very fast too.:cool:
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] captainsensible2002:
But if you were to try the HTC rom with the HTC SPL your opinion might change! :)

Personally, I think, like Boingg, that the new ROM is great PROVIDED you re-install the HTC SPL.

As another person also said, there are some very good cooked ROM's here, but while they introduce some speed/performance improvements, they can also introduce their own bugs. One cook in particular seems intent on providing quantity over quality by uploading a new ROM seemingly every hour - always amuses me when I read the responses, like 'What a great rom, I am wetting myself its sooooooo good!! - By the way, here's a list of the bugs I found' (This isn't a direct quote, but you get the idea!!). I think at the end of day that the ROM that has been designed for a particular device will always be better than one that has been manhandled from elsewhere - although some of the ported ROM's do get pretty close, there is always some niggle or other.

Anyway, I will stop rambling.... yes I am happy with the HTC ROM but I reserve the right to re-flash at any time!

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] dwny:
Do you plan on doing something with this data/poll/etc....

Or is this a venting thread

This is a developer's forum .... not tech support or customer service

The purpose of this forum is to develop

If you've been around these devices for a while, you'll know that factory ROMz are the worst. Page Pools are set low, they contain alot of unwanted bloatware for compaines to brand their devices and as a result of this, storage space is low.

These ROMz however, provide a base for devlopers to work with. These are the ROMz that 95% of us have on our devices. On that note, we should be thankful that ROMz are updated by manufacturers....beacuase, again it provides raw materials to work with.

Try joining a manufacturer or carrier forum where thoughts & concerns of the ROMz in question can be viewed by representatives of the manufacturers.

Rom behavior:

There's no such thing as a perfect ROM. Some work better than others. What works good for me on my device may not work for you....

Factory or Cooked

Development is the name of the game. Move the thread to Walala land :D

And no, you should not be fooled feling "happy" with a glimp of possibilities provided by HTC. Nice quote "raw materials".

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] edbutler:
I am Glad to see the WWE Official version out now.

Now that the Official version is out I will wait for our resident cooks to make a good rom out of it. Since the first day I got the Tilt I Hard SPL'ed it and got rid of the AT&T bloat and flashed a Schaps rom. I did try the new WWE from HTC but had some problems with it but I didn't take the time to try a different radio. So I am sure with the correct radio it would have been better then the one it came with. Depending on where you live your carrier and the service offered in your area have a lot to do with what radio works best. At least that has been my experience. But the one thing I know that is I seem to prefer the cooked roms if they use an official base. So I will wait and hopefully Schaps will be releasing soon. Thats my 2 cents!

So recently my Redmi 6 updated to Android Pie ( 9.0 ) via system updater ,with stable global realise MIUI . And after that it seems that the phone gets little lags here and there , particularly when folding task bar , or when killing apps in the task menu , and in battery menu most of the time it shows that "Screen" drains most of the battery . These problems were not present in Android Oreo ;//

So , these problems could be mostly caused by Android Pie? :/ Maybe Redmi 6 is not capable off running this OS .....

However when I do

"adb reboot bootloader"

Also when I start device with Volume Down+Power button, I get into FFBM.

It just has variety of test options and no boot to bootloader/recovery.

Two button at bottom are shutdown and reboot.

Device is manufactured in 2019.

Any ideas how to get into bootloader mode.
