[Thinkpad Tablet Android Development] Lynnz:
I have a newish Lenovo Tab M8 FHD (TB-8705F). It came with Android 9 and was working great. I even had oem unlock available in developer options. I had it unlocked.

I was rejecting the android 10 update; but it updated a couple days ago. So now I'm having heating issues and lag, its awful. Anyway I noticed that after 10 installed the oem unlock is now grayed out, and it wasn't before. I have done 2 Hard Resets , but both times it shows Android 10 in as original. It came stock with android 9, I am positive. I don't understand this. Is android 10 that powerful to overwrite my original system o.s. Even when factory reset is done? I am hoping to get the oem unlock function working again. Anyone have any help for me

Please..
[Thinkpad Tablet Android Development] Sagnik 123:
Please please can you provide the Lineage is 16 zip file (rom) that you flashed. My device is also Lenovo Tab 4 10 ( X304L) . Please provide the rom file here. I can't find the file anywhere. I will be grateful if you kindly send the file. You can also send the file in my email sagnikbera442@gmail.com. Waiting for your response.
[Thinkpad Tablet Android Development] Mobilelearner:
Turn on developer option. Try to enable oem unlock.

You can start mobile in fastboot mode and use command fastboot oem unlock-go.

You can use Lenovo smart assistant and use boot.img.
[Thinkpad Tablet Android Development] jsgraphicart:
I've tried this multiple times and still can't get it to work. I can't get passed the step to get the devinfo.img file. It runs the process and always tells me the device isn't ready but still tells me it completes and the devinfo.img is in the current directory. Only it's not. I think it's about time to give up on this. And probably give up on this tablet. I think I need to get myself a new one and be done with Lenovo.
[Thinkpad Tablet Android Development] Metal_Box:
It was crazy hard on my desktop. I spend at least 4 hours and nothing. I tried my laptop and breezed through the process.

I just had to share my experience because I noticed there is a post saying a cable made a difference. I figured devices to connect to tablet can make a difference too.

Thanks for the instructions and everyone sharing their experiences and solutions.
[Thinkpad Tablet Android Development] Akash23q2:
It can might sound a bit odd to you all, like everyone my oem unlock switch was greyed out aswell but when I was just playing around and I literally typed oem unlock-go command, mine tab bootloader got unlocked without any issues, idk how it is possible but it worked somehow xD
[Thinkpad Tablet Android Development] shaurya26:
Hi can't I do this using Android ADB, e.g. Bugjaegar App. Please tell..
[Thinkpad Tablet Android Development] hk96:
How can you access adb in edl mode with an app ??

Isnt it highly counterintuitive ??

But you can try, if you are sure. I cant help you out on that.

p.s. btw, never quote the entire OP
[Thinkpad Tablet Android Development] shaurya26:
Can't I do this by changing the stock firmware and flashing it using stock recovery?
[Thinkpad Tablet Android Development] _mikau_:
Hi all!

@hk96 Thanks so much! I have a TB-X304F with the "OEM unlock" option greyed out. I bought it from Amazon Europe (I'm based in Spain) so I don't really undestand why it was locked... but it was. I've spent hours trying to find the way to unlock it, and the ONLY way I've been able to find that worked was yours. So thanks again!

In case it helps, I'd edit your tutorial to add something REALLY IMPORTANT in order for the process to work: the timing to set the tablet in "edl mode" is key. If you set it and plug the USB wire and run "dump_devinfo.bat" too soon, you'll get an error message informing there was an issue with the sahara connection. Same if you set the "edl mode" and you wait for too long to run "dump_devinfo.bat": you'll get that error as well.

I hope this is useful for someone else. Thanks again! :)
[Thinkpad Tablet Android Development] shaurya26:
Tried.

It says """Failed to send Hello.

Unable to ... Sahara ...

Blah blah blah.."""

It don't dump anything...

What to do now...
[Thinkpad Tablet Android Development] shaurya26:
How much time is enough...
[Thinkpad Tablet Android Development] _mikau_:
I'd say to plug the USB wire not before 10 seconds and not later than 1 minute after setting the edl mode.

But this is just based on my personal experience, as I couldn't find any official documentation from Lenovo regarding this.
[Thinkpad Tablet Android Development] shaurya26:
Thanks.

I'll try.
[Thinkpad Tablet Android Development] Aditya-tiwari:
Thank you... So much for the info.

But, please explain me the 6th point in detail..

Like, I know the port number and I also know the path to .mbn file.

But, what's the actual code that I have to write on that .bat file and the arrangement of the code.

Please help..

I'm noob to this and also junior of you..

Thanks.
[Thinkpad Tablet Android Development] Aditya-tiwari:
Same happened with me!!

Have you found any solution for that??
[Thinkpad Tablet Android Development] Aditya-tiwari:
Same happened with me!!

Did you found any solution
[Thinkpad Tablet Android Development] hk96:
The output shows that your device is not detected. Check for COM port or keep a look on the timing, as mentioned by other people.

Just enter the port number and path when it promtps.

Since I did long back, I don't remember properly, but the thread is sufficiently detailed ig.
[Thinkpad Tablet Android Development] Rainberry:
I have been trying to enable the OEM unlocking on my TB-X304L. Unfortunately i do not know how the hex editor works and do not know to use it. Could I try to relock the bootloader and check whether the OEM unlocking greyed option disappears?

Thanks mate!
[Thinkpad Tablet Android Development] its_vipin_52:
I am unable to understand step 5

Please explain me someone
[Thinkpad Tablet Android Development] hk96:
When you run the .bat file, it will ask for com port number in which the phone is connected and path for firehose file.

[Thinkpad Tablet Android Development] ProvokedGamer:
Help, it says that devinfo.img was saved but it doesn't appear

Edit: I fixed this. This is for anyone that gets the Sahara packet fails thing. Make sure you’re using the right port number. In device manager, it should look like COM(number). Just enter the number part into the program.
[Thinkpad Tablet Android Development] joshat10xda:

[Thinkpad Tablet Android Development] sr1sws:
Trying this on a Lenovo Tab 4 10. I can get into EDL mode and get a comm port and the path to the file, but the script fails with the 'hello failure' message and ends with handle status 6. This is on Windows 11. Any suggestions??? I'd really like to get LineageOS on this thing.
[Thinkpad Tablet Android Development] .Karan.:
i am still getting status 6 error any solution??
[Thinkpad Tablet Android Development] .Karan.:
what to do now/ what is the error, problem?
[Thinkpad Tablet Android Development] ganesh_software_crasher:
Yeah I also tried so many methods none working

fastboot oem unlock-go not working

there is this ftbm mode but dont know to use that

in bootloader it shows status locked

in edl the script fails

with error 21 Device not ready

it shoudn't say the device is not ready cause I tried using the lenovo assistant and it used the same procedure put the tablet in edl mode and then it flashed the stock rom and it completed without any errors. but the problem still remains OEM Unlocking Toggle still greyed out and bootloader status still shows "locked".

is there anyone who can help solve it.
[Thinkpad Tablet Android Development] Heduxw:
you should try it just soon after connecting it i had this problem i did it by rebooting to edl and running it asap it is caused due to edl timeout
[Thinkpad Tablet Android Development] ProvokedGamer:
You’re using the wrong port numbers. Use the number in device manager that appears like COM(number).
[Thinkpad Tablet Android Development] qu4droro:
when you download adb, its install google driver for you. but it not worked for me. so if you getting "status 21" or different ones, check your device manager when your tablet in edl mode for any "exclamation mark" or error near at "Android" device. i tried many drivers, reload adb many times. but only this driver worked for me. you have to install this driver from device manager. right click to android> update driver > from pc> select from disc > select .inf file. also when you start edl mode, you have to run "dump_devinfo.bat" before 5-10 seconds. so after try 10 times it worked. never giveup.
[Thinkpad Tablet Android Development] acrinym:
Where exactly in Device manager? I'm a power user and it's not showing up for me anywhere in the driver properties.
[Thinkpad Tablet Android Development] somebud:
View attachment 6030107

Here "4" is the port number (though i wonder why it is showing an error)
[Thinkpad Tablet Android Development] HarryKrishhnan:
just install lenovos recovery software once and run hardware tests. Just for the right drivers to be installed, and try again.
[Thinkpad Tablet Android Development] NoddyCode:
Don't know if you still need help with this, but the COM number is under "Advanced Settings" in the port tab, not the port number listed under "Location".
[Thinkpad Tablet Android Development] NoddyCode:
Just wanted to say, big thank you for this! Was ripping my hair out trying to figure out how to get around this, this process worked like a charm. I did have to factory reset afterwards to clear the password prompt, but my device is now listed as "unlocked"

For anyone coming to this post at time of writing, I can confirm this still works. To get the ROM file you need, follow these steps:

1. Download and install Lenovo Rescuer and Smart Assistant (RSA) (Might need to make/connect a Lenovo account)

2. Plug your tablet in and start RSA

3. When prompted, install the RSA app and enter the provided PIN on your tablet to connect to RSA

4. Under the Rescue tab, click "Download" to download your ROM files

5. After download, your files will be available at C:\ProgramData\RSA\Download\RomFiles (they are automatically extracted after download)
[Thinkpad Tablet Android Development] benbenolson:
Just wanted to post this here in case anyone has the same problem that I did. I have a Lenovo TB-X304F that has a greyed-out "OEM Unlocking" in Developer Settings. I tried using QDL to flash the latest stock ROM (in this case 8.1), I tried `fastboot` commands, I tried connecting to the Internet and waiting a week (saw it on the Lenovo Forums).

Finally, what worked was this:

1. Download a stock ROM with Android 7.1 from here: https://www.needrom.com/download/lenovo-tab-4-10-tb-x304f/ (I had to create a free account). I used "Rom 2," simply because it downloaded the fastest.

2. `git clone https://git.codelinaro.org/linaro/qcomlt/qdl.git`, compile it with `make`.

3. `unzip R2-Lenovo-Tab-4-10-TB-X304F.zip` into a new directory, since the zip file doesn't include a directory.

4. Go into the directory that contains the files that you just extracted.

5. `sudo ../qdl/qdl --storage emmc --include . prog_emmc_firehose_8917_ddr.mbn rawprogram_unsparse.xml patch0.xml`

6. It'll sit waiting on the device to show up. To put the device in EDL mode, continue on.

7. Enable "USB Debugging" in Developer Settings.

8. Plug it up to your computer, use `adb devices` to make sure it's there and authorized.

9. `adb reboot edl` will reboot the tablet into EDL mode

10. After it reboots, the screen will go black and the `qdl` command that you typed will continue working. It'll take quite a while, but don't touch it until it completely finishes.
[Off-topic] Jemradary:
Hello,

I was unsure where to post this request.

I like the new feature on the WAD2 for gestures. I have an idea that I am interested in seeing if someone could help develop. I am not a programmer so it is beyond me to even image how this should be done.

I am not sure how many people use the application called S2U2. It is pretty much one of the first apps I install on my mobile devices. The slider gave me an idea for the pages on WAD2.

I was wondering if anybody new of a way to make a slider like that but instead of it being all the way to the left. It will be centered and when you motion/slide it to the left or right, it will do whatever the gesture is assigned to do.

Is anybody up to this task? I can donate a little if needed.

Hello, everyone, I take the liberty of posting a message today because I cannot find the solution by myself.

Here i have had an asus rog 2 phone for 1.5 years now bought in china until everything is fine suddenly no OTA update has been done since june 2019 ...

Recently I ran into issues with the armory crate that made me want to update my Rog.

I used this guide:

Can you tell me the benefits thank you very much.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] jasonallenbanks:
Anyone know how to make the weather read in English instead of Metric? Love the Home page, its way better than the AT&T. I included it here if someone else wants it, Just do a soft reset of your phone and then download this, its the latest version. ( To do the soft reset take your stylis and press it in the small hole to right of the battery charger connection, When it resets it will try to reload AT&T, when it says in 3 Secounds, press the reset again and you should be fine. There are alot of threads telling you how to do this, if Im not that clear than Google it. After you reset your phone you will loose ringtones and contacts saved to the phone and any caps you have added that arent saved to your memory card (if you have one). Just download the attachemnt open it and it will do the rest. Hope this helps. Now maybe someone can help me, if you know how to change the weather display from metric to english let me know.

Thanks
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] psionandy:
er... The metric system is in english.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] jasonallenbanks:
Ok for those who r slow. In the US we prefer Fahreheit not Celsius. The difference is English to Metric. So if you dont know the answer save your time by not posting. No one wants to read about how u dont know the difference between the two.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] PsiDOC:
2 posts in and he's already flaming!

Actually the term is Imperial, not English. So when Psionandy answered you he was correct. The english use the metric system,

Calm down a bit and please dont launch attacks on people like that. Then maybe you'll get the answer you require. even better try the search button at the top.

Bad attitudes simply get you ignored.

Why should we? Your attitude stinks with the "I want I want I want" spoilt brat attitude.

No there was nothing wrong with the question, just the way you kicked off about it when someone tried to clarify.

Go back and use it again. took me about 1 minute to find the relevant information.... DUH!

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] snachez:
I cant believe I'm going to help an Uhhmerican out.. but :

Go to Start > Settings > System > Regional Settings and choose any country that uses "English Imperial".

(Which is pretty much no country on the planet, except for the righteous US of A, Liberia & Burma.)

And.. If you read the manual that came with your phone, as well as searching around before asking such a basic question, you'll piss off a lot less people than you already have. :)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] jasonallenbanks:
Hey thanks for trying to help but that didnt fix it, it is already set on US and dosent even offer a change. Thanks for the help, Im not trying to piss anyone off, I simple posted a question and had all kinds of weird O's respond.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] snachez:
No Worries :) I think you threw everyone off by saying "English" instead of "Imperial"

Try this as well : Click on your city name in the forecast mode of weather panel (not just the first screen / todays weather) This should bring up the city select creen. On the bottom, click on menu, and choose weather options. You should be given the choice between deg C or F, and auto-update configs.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] VeerTheTIGuy:
doesn't HTC Home Customizer do it?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] tlfromva:
Tap on the city name. When the city selector comes up, tap on "menu" and then "weather options." Select Fahrenheit from the resulting screen.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] jasonallenbanks:
Thanks tlfromva that fixed it. Im sorry if I through all of yall off by saying English to Metric but when I googled it, that was in the response. Well yall have good day and thanks for all the help.
