[Lenovo Legion Y700] Rypha:
The boot.img I uploaded is for the latest version of the Chinese ROM

The global ROM is over a year out of date iirc.

So 13.x.x

Don't remember the exact version.

The official English Translation of the Chinese ROM is quite good and Installing the Play Store and enabling Google Services is also pretty easy.

You can uninstall and/or disable all the Chinese apps too.

If you can follow the instructions to flash a ROM though QFIL then you can easily install the Chinese ROM.

You even get access to the Legion Assistant for games letting you change the GPU & CPU clock speeds in game, etc.
[Lenovo Legion Y700] adek89:
on the previous lenovo p8 soft, it can be uploaded nicely, so I think it would be no problem here, if it is well translated into Polish, I may stay on it, although the root and backup of the global system would be useful.
[Lenovo Legion Y700] carloshenriquerb:
H, how do i unlock the bootloader ?
[Lenovo Legion Y700] fiocco:
Try this my friend for official (slow, very slow...) or unofficial version (fast, very... fast) ;)
[Lenovo Legion Y700] adek89:
Hello already with the tablet, I have a Global Rom in, version as in, photo. I also found the same soft with exactly the same version number + info user Open-TB-9707F_CN_OPEN_USER_Q00235.1_R_ZUI_13.0.586_ST_220222_qpst (ie would be unlocked as Global?). Is there an option that I can have twrp on it to make a backup of the system before I start uploading a custom room?

It would be useful to have a full tutorial from a to z on how to do root, twrp etc on this tablet having a Global Rom / Chinese so ft

Hi, i’m sorry, i follow the steps but it doesn't work, can youn do tuto for root with magisk 26.1 ? please, thanks.
[Lenovo Legion Y700] adek89:
i did patched img via magisk to global rom which i found, but when i type commands in cmd, powwershel and adb plus plus i get message about file not found. i have windows 10 64 bit. anyone have any ideas other than going back to chinese soft? I don't know English, that's why it's hard for me to make root on global rom,

In update menu tab click on 3 points up at right ;)
[Lenovo Legion Y700] Trafford Devil:
you have to disable com.zui.cores through adb. don't uninstall it though, if you do you'll have to factory reset your device.

[Lenovo Legion Y700] muygalan:
Hi everyone. I just received my Lenovo Y700 yesterday and have successfully updated my device to version 14.0.270 on the Chinese ROM.

Question: How do I access the gaming mode (Legion Assistant?) on this version? When I view my settings and select the "Legion Assistant" option, it displays an illustration of someone pulling a menu from the left side of the device. But whenever I try to slide my finger from the left side of the screen it either enters the left side of the homepage or (while in an application), it acts like a back button.

I basically wanted to access my beast mode settings while emulating video games. Does anyone know if this is possible? Thanks in advance.
[Lenovo Legion Y700] fiocco:
Go to My device > Update system > 3 points UP RiGHT > Update settings
[Lenovo Legion Y700] hyptis:
you just need to add the game to your legion assistant. its under Legion Assistant -> Manage My Game. Just add your game, then when you run the game, you'll be able to pull the menu from left

[Lenovo Legion Y700] muygalan:
For some reason I thought I did that, but when I double checked again, I saw the Legion Assistant menu slither. Thank you so much for your help. Truly. 👍

P.S. Do you use the stock launcher or have you tried using a third-party launcher (e.g., Nova Launcher)?
[Lenovo Legion Y700] hyptis:
i always use nova launcher on all devices, it suits me best. then turn of lenovo u-touch since it interfere with nova. replace with full screen gesture.
[Lenovo Legion Y700] adek89:
cool ! , and now you still have gsi on which it was done, or globlal rom? if you have global rom what version did you have? maybe then I could just upload your file?

did you upload the boot.img file on the turned off device in fastboot mode or on the screen with fastbotd shown in red, in recovery mode?
[Lenovo Legion Y700] adek89:
for me, after entering the command, I get a message - from dynamic system updates that I have not been able to install - I have a global rom version
[Lenovo Legion Y700] Mr Prew Has It:
Hi, so I bought the Legion Y700 from Aliexpress with the 'Global' ROM (less than 300 USD). The bootloader is unlocked. I was concerned about spyware and whatever from unofficial ROMs so I tried the stock Google GSI ROM of Android 13 and the beta Android 14. Here is my impression.

Way faster than the original Android 11 ROM (ZUI13). I got an antutu of 720.000 in line with the best roms and the best SD870 results. Octane javascript benchmark went from 22K to 40K!

I bought a 15 USD universal active pen and it works. Still sucks to take notes since no palm rejection, but no complain about responsiveness.

I lost the 120hz, I would like to recover them, sure, but.. everything is so smooth that I would have trouble telling you if the display is running 60hz only or way more.

Gaming is unflappable, no need for the legion sw IMHO.

No face unlock, but I never use it.

No double tap to wake, and it hurts my brain me all the time. Please advice how could I recover it while maintaining stock GSI roms.

No adaptive brightness, but any app from the Playstore works well - I use Velis auto brightness.

The device is compact, well built and inexpensive. Screen is very bright, but Oled would have been better also in dim light. Not so lightweight as you would expect but you can still work it with one hand.

See ya
[Lenovo Legion Y700] adek89:
how did you upload gsi with global rom?
[Lenovo Legion Y700] fiocco:
I perfer the stock rom, i tried on zui 13 then zui 14 last update

Thirst

install on tab magisk 26.1 then open it and install magisk boot.img then pick UP the new magisk boot.IMG in thé folder download n tab and turn off it

Second

Launch the tab in fastbootd (vol+ and power button in same time 3s) and then go to adb and flash the new magisk boot.img
[Lenovo Legion Y700] fiocco:
Deleted
[Lenovo Legion Y700] adek89:
what command did you use to flash ? I tried to upload gsi but it can't be uploaded because there is an error with the file size. if i do fastboot flash command - location and magisk patch file then i have info waiting for device , if it's disabled as you described, and if it's enabled in fastbootD

ok, I used the lenovo p12 guide and before adb plu plus I managed to upload the cdroid :D now let the apps in the ram stick as they should
[Lenovo Legion Y700] adek89:
Can someone tell me how to root cdroid? should I do it before boot.img, or is it enough to download the magisk package for uploading? what about twrp??
[Lenovo Legion Y700] adek89:
https://unofficialtwrp.com/twrp-root-lenovo-legion-y700/ anyone tried this twrp? what happens if the vbeta file turns out to be bad? can i just download the software?

hi guys

kindly help

I have bought global rom version with 128/8 ram.. wifi only no sim

unfortunately after 2 days only I bricked my device while trying to root it.

Device was stucked in edl mode.. I tried to flash stock firmware using Qfil method.. it flashed successfully but keeps in the edl mode despite following ALL steps including checking reset after download and selecting all raw files and all patches.

After flashing the stock software many times.. the device kept in edl mode no matter how much time I keep pressing the power button or whatever key combination I used.

at this time I made a big mistake I decided to use the other prog_hosfire_lite as programmer instead of ddr.. software flashed successfully after that the device went to total brick.. I lost even the access to edl.. the device now is only black screen.. no boot no fastboot.. no recovery.. no edl.. and it's not recognised by pc when connected

if anyone has the same weired issue please help.

An update from the testing on the Y700 on GSI Android 13 and 14.

Bluetooth problem - the device can pair but does not connect with headphones. The new device is registered, but never connected. Happens with GSI 13 and 14, but not with the AOSP versions.

Audio Line out does not work.

Android GSI 14 Beta 4 does not work. Keeps bootlooping. Instead, the previous Android GSI 14 UPB3.230519.008 works. What changed?

Where did you all buy your own Y700? AliExpress or other? Which seller (link?)? And what is your experience with selling to wherever you are on Earth?

Is Original and "Global ROM" really different? If so, how?

I think Original ROM anyways have at least english language built-in, right?

Thanks a lot in advance for all your answers.
[Lenovo Legion Y700] NisseGurra:
I got mine from Giztop, prices has gone up since then. Took way to long to get the Y700 so i don't recommend Giztop.

There is no "global" rom, only Chinese with English language included.

I bought this at Aliexpress. I wanted case and display film so I used this site(→https://www.aliexpress.com/item/100..._list.0.0.21ef585a93X4fm&gatewayAdapt=glo2jpn)

No items were missing. However, the Global ROM was just an apparent, and in reality it was just an English version of the CN ROM with additional GApps, etc. installed (and more, I overwrote GSI, which made no reason at all💦).
[Lenovo Legion Y700] FIERA03:

Hey, what format are those firmwares? they dont look like any fasheable rom i've seen before, I tried to patch the boot.img with magisk, but its not able to boot with it, i also see that there are 3 different boot images (boot.img, boot_a.img and boot_b.img).

When i execute "fastboot flash boot [image]" it says that its flashing "boot_b".

I would like to keep the stock room for the desktop mode, but i'm not able to make it boot with any boot*.img that i can find whithin those files.

If i dont find the real boot image i can flash a GSI but it would be a shame.
[Lenovo Legion Y700] Lucas VT:
Well, after thinkering around for a while with the boot images on the stock rooms i decided to go for a GSI rom.

I flashed the lastest chaos GSI rom and everything seems to work except for the wifi, if i try to turn it on it just never does and switched back off automatically, so... i managed to get an unusable tablet in 10 hours from unboxing it.
[Lenovo Legion Y700] Phoenix2000:
7 pages thread, i already see ROM discussions. Maybe it's time the Y700 gets its own forum, no?

Anyone knows how to request that from XDA Dev? :)

Maybe it will raise visibility and interest, and more tips, tricks and tweaks will show up for our little one :)
[Lenovo Legion Y700] Lucas VT:
After some more hours of trying things i came to the conclusion thatt he boot images from the roms on the internet are not compatible with my especific y700, and since i did not back up the ones on my device before patching, unless Lenovo releases another rom that contains a kernel compatible with my tablet im screwed.
[Lenovo Legion Y700] NisseGurra:
To restore stock, download the linked qpst file and use this guide: https://xdaforums.com/t/install-stock-rom-xiaoxin-pad-pro-2021-tb-j716f.4347951/

[Lenovo Legion Y700] Lucas VT:
Thank you!!

It worked and i have the stock rom back and the wifi is working with it.

If anyone has issues with the flashing tool, try to put the device on EDL mode at the very last second before flashing and be mindful that the aplication might expect to be run from a especific path and wont work otherwise.
[Lenovo Legion Y700] Lucas VT:
There is an OTA update that might be the culprit of my headaches as i installed it without thinking before using the boot.img from the published stock rom, that is a version older.

There is the OTA file

I want to be on that particular version and then probably ROOT my device again. Thank you.
[Lenovo Legion Y700] Rypha:
Sorry for the late reply, but did you make sure to link to the exact directory of the patched boot.img?

After opening the adb & fastboot ++

Type "fastboot flash boot "

Make sure there's a a space after boot then find your patched boot.img and drag it into the CMD window.

I don't use a background app killer.
[Lenovo Legion Y700] adek89:
It's not about whether you use something to close but whether the system itself does not close you applications in the background, for example, you have opera turned on you enter instegam, + messenger + eg I do not know, Twitter and opera is killed by, the system
