Mobile Data isn't working

I had the rom for a week or so at home with no problems (home office yay!). But then I realized that mobile data isn't working. I am on the single sim model and I did the installation 3 times with no change in results.

Cant write TWRP

Hi,

I spent half the day trying to get ahead with my XZC (G8141). Unfortunately without success. :(

I downloaded from the Links in the First Post.

"Lineage OS 17.1","Open Gapps" and "Keyboard twrp flashable"

But I can't find Magisk zip. (But that's not so important right now. I can't get that far.)

I can't get into the TWRP bootloader.

I have unlocked the bootloader. (There is a warning at every start.) But when I try to flash the twrp image I get the following:

fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
target reported max download size of 104857600 bytes
sending 'recovery' (21716 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.689s]
writing 'recovery'...

What i'm doing wrongt?

[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] oceliome:
Hi,

I have a Pixel 3xl rooted and running with Havoc Rom.

if I want to switch from a custom rom to another custom rom, how can I do that?

Do I have to install stock rom and erase data before the new custom rom or can I just install the new custom rom above to previous one?

Thank you.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] sliding_billy:
Install stock factory image to both slots with -w intact in the flash-all batch, and then start with the instructions of the ROM you want to install.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] wangdaning:
I would personally back up anything I wanted then flash the new rom boot.img and try to dirty flash it. If it got messed up then I would do as above. I am still crazy though and 9/10 you need a wipe when switching.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] sliding_billy:
I get it. I hate clean flashing more than anything, but pretty much no custom ROMs allow for dirty installs except for over the same ROM these days. Even over the same doesn't always work well especially if the build was dirty. Not worth the extra effort trying to figure out and fix what broke on a cross-rom dirty flash, IMO.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] wangdaning:
True, but lots of people have extra time nowadays. I would say just always make sure you back up somehow before any switch. Be ready to wipe your device clean.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] oceliome:
Thank you for your replys.

I'm not an english speaking personn, so if i understand:

The normal way to switch two customs roms is to "transit" by the stock rom and clear all data and then install rhe new custom rom.

The other way, would be dirty flash the new custom rom above the previous custom rom (with loss data possible so a bachup is needed).

[Lenovo Yoga Book Questions & Answers] Tennistas79:
Hello there

I have been searching around to buy a tablet mostly for home use,my wife is going to be using it most of the times for some googling,emails ,pdf etc. I found a really good deal in a refurbished android version yoga book but I'm not that sure if it's worth nowadays since as I have read it only updated to android 7. Is she going to have issues with some apps like Facebook,insta, netflix?

Thank you in advance
[Lenovo Yoga Book Questions & Answers] Willem177:
I have this unit for 3 years now and it’s still working.

From the beginning it had problems, for example it shuts down and reboot from time to time, when you want to cast something it freezes and some apps don’t work anymore. For googling and emails I don’t have any problem.

Would I recommend a Lenovo unit? I won’t, because they never given updates or solved the software problems.

I have a yoga book and my co-worker’s have an Android pro tablet from Lenovo and they also never received a update. The hardware is good but you never get an update even not a security update. I hope it help with your decision.

Greetings
[Lenovo Yoga Book Questions & Answers] heldc:
Those, probably not, but I can't get modern casual games like merge dragons to run on the stupid thing. So if she plays that kind of game, it might not be the way to go.
[Lenovo Yoga Book Questions & Answers] E398:
As i am enthusiast on modding stuff, i like my hardware open to custom stuff. While the lenovo is not closed (you can unlock the bootloader) we had a dead scene. So i would not recommend this piece of hardware. In XDA your better strategy is to search on for devices that the community is alive AKA: popular devices and brands, like Samsung or Sony. Cause even if the moto maxx was spec wise MUCH better than the Xperia Z3 on paper, we had a different story here, the xperia comunity was skyrocketing and doing great where the moto maxx was a zombie device at its best.

TL : DR If you don't need to debloat it or do anything special to it its kinda of a solid device .

Hi!

I'm having a SD 2GB memorycard. There is a problem reading the card. When I'm using Windows disk management tool the card is not recognized at all but when using R-Linux (http://www.data-recovery-software.net/Linux_Recovery.shtml) the software knows there is a memorycard plugged in but can't see the size of it. It knows it's a SanDisk card but that's it.

I've tried reading the card with a couple of different cardreaders but with the same result. Connecting the card to Linux didn't make a difference either.

I know there are alot of bright people on this forum, so, any advice?

Is there maybe some special hardware to use and so on? Help would be great.

"EDIT"

The topic said "Physically damaged MemoryCard". The card casing is broken but the card itself is intact, I think.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] Brotinger:
Dear and knowledgeable readers!

Being a longtime lurker, your tireless work and dedication to the community have enabled me to unlock and root many different android devices over the years and I am deeply grateful this place exists.

Right now, I plan on adding the recently released

Lenovo Smart Tab M10 FHD Plus 2nd Gen [ZA5T0302SE / TB-X606F, I believe]

in the WLAN/4GB/64GB variant to my collection. Having grown accustomed to the luxury of root access, I was wondering if anyone already had some experience with rooting the device and would be willing to share his / her knowledge with me.

Especially, I was wondering if this guide for the TB-X605F, which I have successfully used in the past for my older model, would (in principle) be applicable, as long as I could obtain the corresponding firmware for the newer one, which might be available here (as soon as GD wills it).

Any advice / support would be highly appreciated!

[Sidenote]: To my best ability, I wasn’t able to find an existing thread on the topic of rooting the device in question and I hope to have chosen the right forum to post it in (or if the general Q&A would have been the better fit?). If not, dear mods, please be lenient with me and simply move the thread to the proper subforum.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] 11mackey11:
If you download the lmsa tool, plug in the tablet and go to recovery it will download the full stock firmware. Then you can find it c/program data/LMSA/downloads.

I did that then downloads magisk manager. Extract the boot.img from firmware and put in storage of tablet. Then used magisk manager and patch the boot.img it will tell where it is stored. Extract from tablet and put it in same folder as adb/fast boot. Then put tablet in fastboot and fastboot flash boot magisk-patched.img. then fastboot reboot. The will be rooted with magisk

I forgot. You must unlock bootloader to do this.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] Brotinger:
Dear 11mackey11,

thank you so very much for caring enough to share your knowledge with me!

So the guide I mentioned earlier is pretty much applicable for the newer model as well? What a relief!

I am also grateful for the hint on how to obtain the stock firmware. For all the dirty things I did to my devices in the past, it never became necessary to put the LMS-Assistant to use, but I will gladly change that now.

As soon as my device arrives, I will try to root it as you suggested and will report back how I fared.

Again, many thanks!
[Thinkpad Tablet General] Brotinger:
It took me some time to finally get to it … delivery problems with the device … busy work schedule …

… anyhow, I now took the leap and am happy to report that, thanks to your advice, I was able to add another rooted device to my ever-growing collection. “Worked like a charm”, as they use to say.

To repeat myself, I am very grateful for you taking the time to respond to my question and reassuring me that this was the path to follow.

Honestly, thanks!
[Thinkpad Tablet General] yellowlemons:
Hi. I just purchased the same tablet. I would appreciate it if you could write up a guide on this forum. It would be a help for everyone.

I'm not even sure how you unlock the bootloader on this thing!
[Thinkpad Tablet General] Brotinger:
Hi and congratulations on your purchase! The TB-606F is a solid device in my book.

Although I have by now rooted more than a dozen android devices and guess I have at least somewhat of an idea of what I am doing, I am by far no pro on the issue. Basically, I consider myself more a “guide user” than a “guide creator”, still.

But as I have benefited from the kind- and helpfulness of this community many times before, I can’t leave this call for help unanswered.

The thing is, nonetheless, I would really like to refer anyone poised to root their TB-606F to the guide for the TB-605F which I linked to in my initial post. Rooting the TB-606F, in principle, demands the user to undertake the same steps as for rooting the TB-605F.

There are, from the top of my head, only two noticeable differences or variations from that guide which I discovered:

1) firmware

As I still haven’t found a reliable source to obtain the necessary stock firmware by download from the web, the advice of fellow user 11mackey11 comes in very handy who, in response to my initial post, pointed me to the LSMA to download the firmware from your very own device.

2) unlocking bootloader

At least with my device, the fastboot commands known to me to usually unlock the bootloader (as are “fastboot oem unlock-go”, “fastboot oem unlock” or “fastboot flashing unlock”) did not do the trick. I had to resort to the command line of “fastboot flashing unlock” to finally make some progress. This might be an outlier with me device, though, as 11mackey11 did not mention the issue.

Again, I will gladly provide any assistance I can offer, but as for writing up a guide, I would mostly carbon copy turboperson123’s guide for the TB-605F mentioned above anyhow and it does not seem right to take credit for his contributions.

But if you had any specific question, please don’t hesitate to ask and I will answer it to my best knowledge (which might not be much).

Tutorial

I found this tutorial specific to the X606F https://forum.frandroid.com/topic/2...u-lenovo-tab-m10-fhd-plus-tb-x606f-sans-twrp/ alas in French but Google translate makes a decent job out of it
[Thinkpad Tablet General] the_marginal:
I want to apply it to my device, have you tried this method?
[Thinkpad Tablet General] b4nd0ler0:
Yes, tried and failed miserably. The tablet is not correctly rooted as reported by Root Checker. The su binary is there and shows it's Magisk but no root proper.

Will try again and report back when done.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] the_marginal:

I rooted my device with this method
[Thinkpad Tablet General] adroid_user:
this method doesn't work

Hello dear Android users...

I've got the 3/64GB version of this device (ZA5T0300US) and this method of rooting did not work for me. When I check root in Magisk Manager, it says ctsProfile:false & basicIntegrity:true, so root doesn't work. I tried multiple times and every time had this same result. My ROM version is TB_X606F_USR_S100055_2001030016_V5.196_BMP_ROW (extracted ROM folder name). Are you sure your root actually 100% worked? What is your ROM version?
[Thinkpad Tablet General] the_marginal:
This method is working!

Use the Official Lenovo website to access your original "rom" file and get the "boot.img" file.

Program: Lenovo Rescue And Smart Assistant https://lnv.gy/3d8FHLi

For an article on how to download the Rom file via the program, see here. (Step 3)

Hey, thanks for all this useful info. I'm a noob when it comes to rooting. I have hit an issue, that you guys could probably easily advice me. I have got up to where you enter "fastboot flashing unlock" it comes back with something like "waiting for any device". How do I get past this point? I have tried pressing volum up as I saw on a guide however no luck.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] galactic_gargantua:
unlock not possible

I have the same issue, "waiting for device" and adb dies.

So I just bought this tablet.

Obviously there are issues with Netflix HD due to widevine L3.

Are people rooting this tablet to get around that issue?

If not, why?
[Thinkpad Tablet General] Andy4Shurr:
Rooting won't get you widevine level 1. It has to be implemented by the manufacturer, sometimes via ota update and sometimes it can't be done via ota updates. Looking at Lenovo's track record I wouldn't hold my breath they will bother with this, they hardly give any type of updates to be honest.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] b4nd0ler0:
Rooted FINALLY

Ok I managed to root this baby at last. Second attempt. But this time I let the tab upgrade its firmware/Android version from whatever it came with (I guess it was TB_X606F_USR_S100055_2001030016_V5.196_BMP_ROW) . Then used the Windoze Lenovo app "Rescue Smart Assistant" (crappy registration required) -from within a VirtualBox Windoze instance since I'm on Mac- to download the latest firmware version TB_X606F_S100079_200601_BMP (after of course checking first it matched the version installed in the tab) and used the boot.img from there.

In "Steps 2 - Root with Magisk" section of that tuto:

It hanged after saying "Rebooting", didn't reboot at all so I got tired of waiting and rebooted with power button and...

Hola!!!! the tablet is now rooted (checked with MagiskManager and RootChecker).

Did you patch boot from last stock rom TB_X606F_S100079_200601_BMP downloaded via Lenovo Rescue And Smart Assistant ?
[Thinkpad Tablet General] b4nd0ler0:
1) No idea what that is

2) Read the whole thread dude, it's not that long, the info is there but now it's called "Rescue and Smart Assistant"

3) That seems ok as far as I can tell. It's a super-basic interface, once loaded you do your stuff from a computer to which you connected the tab via USB and use the appropriate commands explained elsewhere in this thread.

Hello, trying to flash the masgisk patched boot with Android 10 goes in bootloop (recoverable via rescue and smart assistant).

What we have to do? Flash the vbmeta?

Yes. Flash stock unmodified vbmeta.img with this command:

fastboot --disable-verification flash vbmeta vbmeta.img

And your device will boot again with magisk patched boot.img

[Thinkpad Tablet General] dynux90:
Done by myself but thanks for the suggets, now i can play pokemon xD

[Thinkpad Tablet General] kc6wke:
In the same boat here,

Do you get the vbmeta.img from the TB_X606F_S300007_200923_BMP.zip file or somewhere else?

Also do you flash it before or after the magisk patched boot.img?
[Thinkpad Tablet General] ferk:
Of course you should use vbmeta.img from TB_X606F_S300007_200923_BMP.zip

Flash order doesn't matter, and you should use Magisk 20.4, for some reason 21.0 and 21.1 doesn't work with TB_X606F_S300007_200923_BMP.zip

Hi! I just got my tablet today. I need to root it because it will be used as my Android head unit in my car. Therefore I need Tasker working and so on.

When I am going to unlock the tablet in fastboot mode, I get "Waiting for any device" in ADB. I've tried different drivers, different ADB versions, and so on. I have the TB-X606X version if that makes any differences.

When I go to Device manager, the tablet in fastboot shows as "Android", and the description says:"No drivers are installed for this device." I have tried to install different drivers, with no success. I also tried PdaNet+ method, didn't work. What am I missing?

USB debugging and OEM unlock is activated in the developer menu. Any help would really be appreciated!
