In the attachment it says to get the sn.img from "here" can you provide the link.

I currently have the bootloader unlocked but I like to be prepared for anything.
[Lenovo Legion Y700] Isrgish:
Did you try
[Lenovo Legion Y700] Isrgish:
I have had issues with a different device and found that formating the card to FAT32 fixed it.

BTW with on my y700 I have a 512gb card formatted to vfat without any problems. I'm in the stock 14.0.270 ST version.
[Lenovo Legion Y700] ukael:
Thank you, I will try with a Fat32 SD card, even though it's not as convenient.
[Lenovo Legion Y700] Isrgish:
What is it formatted as currently?

Has anyone had issues making app purchases within Android apps? More specifically, these are apps that generally do not allow you to purchase them directly from the Google Play Store until your trial is up (e.g., Solid Explorer).

I have been encountering a bunch of apps that refuse to let me connect to the Google Play Store when trying to purchase them at the premium trial has ended.

I have even tried purchasing the app on a separate device (i.e. Samsung S22 Ultra) and my Y700 tablet still won't allow me to restore the purchase, despite being signed into the same Google account.

Any ideas? :/

Hello, I'm thinking of buying the tablet version 2023 and do not know if I get the 12GB or 16GB of RAM ... the main use would be to install Tachiyomi (with a library of about 400GB of data, increasing day by day).

I don't know if 12GB or 16GB will have an impact for that use, if there was any owner of the 12GB model to know if he had problems... The main advantage I imagine would be UFS 3.1 (512GB and mSD for rest if needed) versus UHS-I microSD (256GB UFS 3.1 / 512GB mSD).

Thanks!
[Lenovo Legion Y700] filjusz:
I think 12 gigs of ram is more than enough today
[Lenovo Legion Y700] f-lan@outlook.com:
12gb dis adequate.
[Lenovo Legion Y700] Theogore:
12GB is more than enough.

I ordered mine from Giztop. It arrived preconfigured in English, but had a few apps in Chinese that I had to delete/disable/restrict/hide.

The default OS is Zui 15 and it updated to Zui 15.0.0.0271 today.

It came with Google Play preinstalled and I was able to log in an use it without any issues.
[Lenovo Legion Y700] Kajman:
Where can I get latest Y700 china (with english language) rom? I just ordered for my friend another y700 but with "global" rom, I would like to change it to original rom, but where to find it? After changing rom will widevine L1 be kept? Funny that this "global" rom devices are much cheaper than with original rom.

Follow this guide (the post should really be renamed..):

[GUIDE] Unbrick Lenovo Y700 tablet

Windows guide, might work for other aswell. I finally solved my problem with my Lenovo Y700 tablet being stuck in bootloop mode due to trying to flash Magisk boot with a mismatched firmware version. This resulted in the UI constantly crashing...

xdaforums.com

I also do not understand why they charge less to open the box and re-flash it! Annoying.
[Lenovo Legion Y700] Kajman:
thanks for guide, what is newest ZUI now? On my y700 I have 14.0270 ST and I wonder if there si newer/better one?
[Lenovo Legion Y700] Theogore:
I'm on ZUI 15.0.0.0271, but the 2023 model came with ZUI 15 by default. I'm not sure if it's publicly available somewhere, but I don't have any updates at the moment so I believe that it's the latest release.
[Lenovo Legion Y700] Kajman:
AFAIK Lenovo it will be the last update ;)
[Lenovo Legion Y700] Isrgish:
Which Android version?
[Lenovo Legion Y700] Theogore:
It's Android 13

It updated to ZUI 15.0.549 today.
[Lenovo Legion Y700] Dr. Light:
bricked again. lol. i should have flashed stock image and then locked bootloader, i did the opposite which bricked it. i'm just trying to get it back to stock at this point. i'm on a locked bootloader, it just boots to the bootloader screen. tried to unlock the bootloader so i can flash back to stock like five times "flashboot flash unlock" doesn't work (says cannot determine image filename for 'unlock', neither does "fastboot oem unlock-go" says (command failed). any ideas before i sell this thing cheap? lol
[Lenovo Legion Y700] Isrgish:
Try "fastboot flashing unlock"
[Lenovo Legion Y700] Dr. Light:
command failed. - thanks though

Take a look at this guide [GUIDE] Unbrick Lenovo Y700 tablet. This will help you reinstall and start from scratch.

[Lenovo Legion Y700] Dr. Light:
yeah i saw this, i'm sure the guide works but my main issue of not being able to unlock the tablet still remains. i need to be able to unlock it to move to the next step. none of the unlock commands work for me.

is this something i can flash without having the tablet unlocked?
[Lenovo Legion Y700] :
bootloader is ok in lock, flash in edl mode.

We are making it so that you can flash either with fastboot or edl.
[Lenovo Legion Y700] Dr. Light:
anyone else in, or been in the same position as i am or am i just that lucky?

locked bootloader so unable to flash anything and unable to boot the GSI rom i flashed on it awhile back.

all of the "unbrick" guides tell me to do the same thing. "unlock the bootloader first" but none of the unlock commands work. before i deployed i managed to unlock the tablet without the sn.img but now i can't remember how i did it...lol
[Lenovo Legion Y700] Isrgish:
ASFAIK You do not need to unlock the boot loader to be able to flash to edl. The guide I mentioned uses edl to flash the rom. Just skip the unlocking the bootloader and continue with the guide. Try it what do you have to lose.
[Lenovo Legion Y700] :
The unlock command is not available because OEM unloking(Deveroper options) is not on.

To turn on OEM unloking, it is necessary to boot os once with zui.

If you get an error, you need to flash with the latest version of zui.

The rom I made is the latest version and edl is available.

When zui starts up, turn OEM unlocking on.

Settings -> About tablet -> Zui Version(7 tap) -> General settings -> Deveroper options -> OEM unlocking on

fastboot flashing unlock

or

fastboot oem unlock-go

My wife's been begging for a new ~8" tablet since we tried to switch her to a fire 8 hd. Horrible choice. tried to de-amazon it and it just didn't go well. Have been looking at the y700 for a LONG time now.... Now that the 2023 version is out the older version is on sale (about $265 for the old one... ~$500 for the 2023)... She mostly watches netflix and plex on it. Wondering if I would be good getting the old one (PRC or Global) or if I really should buy the newest. I just want working play store and full HD support on all streaming platforms.
[Lenovo Legion Y700] Dr. Light:
i really appreciate everyone's help before i toss this thing in the trash...lol so i followed it to a T, everything flashed. and i got a message saying device can't boot, it is corrupt and cannot be trusted or something to that effect. and now it boots to the bootloader screen again.
[Lenovo Legion Y700] :
This terminal has such an error if the os is UPDATED, downgraded and relocked.

So if you relock, you need to edl with the latest os version.

How to stop an app from auto closing.

I know this question was asked many times in this thread but after trying all the suggested answers I'm still experiencing the problem.

I'm running termux and would like it to always stay open. I already set the battery to non optimized. On the Security App it doesn't come up in Autostart Manager so I can't add it to the Whitelist.

I observed something interesting on this app. There is an option to acquire a wake lock for termux. I observed that when I do acquire it it shuts down quicker then without the wake lock.

Does anyone have some other suggestion? If there is any way by delving into the innards of the device I would be willing to try it.
[Lenovo Legion Y700] KaitouX:
Does anyone here know if there's any way to force fullscreen when using the PC mode? Some apps apparently can't go fullscreen properly when using it, playing videos on mpv, Firefox, and some others stay on windowed mode, while other apps like games and Brave are able to go fullscreen properly, VLC goes fullscreen but fails to hide the taskbar. I tried a Samsung Tab S7 and at least mpv worked as expected there, automatically going fullscreen while playing the video.

Hi all,

Does anybody have a problem with lock screen wallpaper changing at random times?

If I set my own wallpaper, it always change to a random image after some time.

I am on ZUI15 and is using the 2023 version.

Also if someone has an idea how to totally get rid of the taskbar that pops up when swiping up from the bottom, that will be really great. I got rid of the apps inside so all I see is a reactangle box with a square box at the center.

Hope someone helps. Thank you!
[Lenovo Legion Y700] Isrgish:
I believe this may have to do with the same issue of the Y700 closing down apps automatically.
[Lenovo Legion Y700] x_Lionheart_x:
Is there anyway to resolve it?
[Lenovo Legion Y700] Isrgish:
In this thread there was a suggestion to shut off battery optimization for the app as well as adding it to the whitelist in Security App > AutoStart Manager. I have found that not all apps are available to whitelist them.

Also to do this you will need to know which app is actually running the wallpaper.

Updated boot images for 14.0.286 everyone!

Just finished extracting and patching them. Tested them myself afterwards.

No need to waste time going though the gruelling process yourselves!

Just update to the latest version and then flash via fastboot!

On a fresh install you may have to install the Magisk 26.3 apk after flashing and select to reboot once opening the app and follwing the prompt.

(I recommend using adb to reboot into fastbootD) (Use ADB-and-FastbootPlusPlus from GitHub as well)

(Enable USB debugging, accept prompt to allow your PC access to your Y700, then "adb reboot fastboot")

I'll also post a full, in depth guide on how to do this process yourself soon enough.

Hello, I have that pencil and it works perfectly but with the y700 of 2022, surely yours, which is more modern, will require precision 3

Good morning, I'm a bit lost, I bought the legion y700 on aliexpress theoretically global version, when I turn it on I have to press a button twice to start it, I suppose they have flashed it, I have the Google services that I have given you and the game mode works for me, being able to execute the 3 modes that the beast has included and it has updated itself to the latest version that you have previously commented

My questions are:

what type of rom do I have?

Do you know if it can be updated to ziui15?

Is there any real global version now that the new one is out?

Is it possible to put it in Spanish?

Thanks in advance everyone

**********************************

Hola, yo rengo ese lápiz y funciona perfectamente pero con la y700 de 2022, seguramente la tuya que es más moderna requerirá el precisión 3

Buenos días, yo voy algo perdido, compre la legion y700 en aliexpress teóricamente versión global, al encenderla tengo que darle dos veces a un botón para que se inicie, supongo que la han flasheado, tengo los servicios e Google que se os he puesto yo y me funciona el modo juego pudiendo ejecutar los 3 modos que hay incluido la bestia y se me ha actualizado sola a la última versión que habéis Comentado anteriormente

Mis preguntas hijo:

que tipo de rom tengo?

¿Se sabe si se podrá actualizar a ziui15?

¿Hay alguna versión global real ahora que ha salido la nueva?

¿Es posible ponerla en español?

Gracias por adelantado a todos

[Lenovo Legion Y700] Firipu:
Is the multi-tasking gesture really awkward for everyone?

I use the stock launcher cause otherwise gestures don't really work.

The swipe-up gesture is ridiculously long compared to other android devices. Can't quick swap between two different apps just swiping the bottom like e.g. on a pixel device.

Is this just a zUI pecularity? Or a setting somewhere?

Hi, I see you did great with the Y700 so I thought I can ask you. Is the legion tab y900 rootable too? I guess it should be if legion tabs support unlocking bootloaders..
[Lenovo Legion Y700] Rypha:
So long as it has a full rom available for download, plus the ability to unlock the bootloader like the Y700, then yes.

Otherwise we'd need to wait till someone discovers an exploit to gain root.
[Lenovo Legion Y700] yaneca:
Thanks! It ships out of China with open box and reinstalled global rom, showing the unlocked bootloader icon. So that works. I guess if they flash the rom they have it, will have to ask the sellers on AliExpr. to somehow send the rom they flash.

since the tablet do not have GPS .. does google maps works normally using wifi data?

Hi everyone. I am a bit new into all of this so please bare with me.

I have the first model of the tab.

For some reason my ebay app and amazon prime no longer work.

I can login into ebay via chrome but can't reply to messages and other things.

I recently updated to the latest os. Can this be the problem???

Thanks in advance!
[Lenovo Legion Y700] koma312:
Did you download Chrome via the Google Playstore? Chinese apps don't seem to play well with us.

Regardless, you're probably better off flashing an english ROM - if you're comfortable with doing that. There are a few specific GSI's that work really well our hardware.

I've been daily driving Nazims CrDroid for a long time which I recommend. Recently I've started experimenting with some of the newer stuff.
[Lenovo Legion Y700] josue77:
hello everyone. but someone has been able to play Carx Street on this device, it doesn't get stuck on the file loading screen for me...
[Lenovo Legion Y700] natkimteemo:
Anyone can help me?

I use keymapper app to configure EXTERNAL KEYBOARD SHORTCUTS. However the tablet auto disables the KEYMAPPER app accessibility sometimes.

I suspect that using PC mode is the causes to disable accessibility because when I turn on PC mode, in the accessibility option, the KEYMAPPER ACCESIBILITY option DISAPPEARS.

or anyone knows how to configure Physical keyboard shortcuts(i cant edit it on the settings).
[Lenovo Legion Y700] koma312:
If you install Keymapper as a system app you can give it persistent accessibility.

Other than flashing a less restrictive ROM (recommended) I couldn't really find any other permanent solutions.

edit: grammar etc
[Lenovo Legion Y700] natkimteemo:
Thanks for replying. What do I need to install keymapper as a system app?
[Lenovo Legion Y700] Isrgish:
Is this true for other apps as well? How can I install an app as a system app?
[Lenovo Legion Y700] natkimteemo:
My bootloader is unlocked. But I am stuck trying to root by following the TWRP site.

My device is on fastboot mose but when I type fastboot the disable verity command it says unrecognized command. I typed it completely like the website says.
[Lenovo Legion Y700] natkimteemo:
I have rooted my latest CN stock ROM with this advice.

For newbie like me here is a basic guide

1. Download boot13.1.578-26.1magiskpatched.img from Rypha's post.

Followed these steps : https://xdaforums.com/t/tutorial-how-to-flash-a-new-boot-img-via-fastboot.1752270/

2. As the guide in the link stated, I renamed the boot13.1.578-26.1magiskpatched.img uploaded by Rypha and renamed it to boot.img

3. Then opened pre-installed magisk on my tablet, followed instruction.

DONE.
[Lenovo Legion Y700] natkimteemo:
I am now rooted and used systemizer to make KEYMAPPER a system app.

Accesibility remains on however, WHNE TURINING ON PC MODE. ACCESIBILITY OPTION goes missing on the SETTINGS. Hence, my keymapper gestures dont work on PC MODE.

I think its the issue with the ZUI os itself.
[Lenovo Legion Y700] koma312:
Agreed. I hated using ZUI. I only stayed on it for so long because I didn't think a GSI would be able to utilize all of the device hardware and performance would suffer.

However, through Magisk modules and key map software you can regain full functionality regardless of the ROM. For an equivalent to Lenovo's gaming mode/gpu overclock thing look for a mod called 'Qualcomm Thermals'.

It's so much easier to just use Zui. The hardware works right out of the box, no root or extra work required. On the other hand If you prefer a device that doesnt suck then you should do the other thing.
[Lenovo Legion Y700] Jjfix:
Hi i have not messed around with custom roms since the orginal google Nexus tablet so my knowledge is very rusty. I have a Lenovo TB-9707F 12GB/256GB running Zui 14.0.286 ST. This is stock Chinese rom.

I love this tablet but one of my main bugs i have is when using the built in applock feature so some apps need a separate passcode to open, the lenovo secuirty keyboard will not let you type the code, only fix is to restart the tablet.

other than that i have no issues. From what i gathered there are custom roms with the help of Magisk modules can restore all the stock rom features like game mode, pc mode, pen support etc. (please correct me if i am wrong)

Is there a recommendation or guide for custom roms and modules to get this level of functionality?

Is the first step unlocking the boot loader then flashing custom rom?

Or do i need to root before flashing rom?

Also can these steps be done from a mac or is it best to use windows?

Sorry if this has been asked i have tried search for a definitive guide, but i am still slightly confused.
[Lenovo Legion Y700] josue77:
Hello friend ripha, a question after patching the boot.img can the tablet be updated normally or not?
[Lenovo Legion Y700] Rypha:
No, you can't. That's why I uploaded the stock boot.img

You flash the stock image for your version with Franco Kernel Manager while the tablet is still on. Make sure to not reboot or you'll lose root!

Download and install the OTA update, again, DON'T reboot yet!

Then go to Magisk Manager and Install to Inactive Slot (After OTA), and then reboot from inside Magisk.

You should now have root with the latest update.

I've written down the in depth instructions somewhere in this thread. I'll clean them up a bit and post an easy to follow guide when I can.
[Lenovo Legion Y700] josue77:
Thank you very much friend ripha for the information. I would like to make one last request, friend, could you please install the CARX STREET game on your device and try if it works for you? because I get an error on the game loading screen
[Lenovo Legion Y700] Rypha:
I would but it says that the game is incompatible with my device's version.

I'm on the latest ZUI 14 update & rooted.
[Lenovo Legion Y700] **Salem**:
I have the same answer on Franco Kernel Manager. Play Store tells incompatible with my device. Is there an other solution to perform the updates?
[Lenovo Legion Y700] josue77:
It's strange friends because I have updated my device to the latest version 14.0.286 but without rooting it and in the play store it doesn't say that it is incompatible but it keeps loading on the game's home screen
[Lenovo Legion Y700] **Salem**:
Confusing a bit more. I on latest update and rooted. I can install carx street and it work normaly. Framco Kernerl Manager have the message, not available for your device, because it is designed for an older android version.
[Lenovo Legion Y700] josue77:
Hello friend Salem, you say that you are on the latest version but with root and the Carx Street game works for you? Help me like you did because I get stuck on the game loading screen... and what is that about Franco kernel manager?
