I'm still getting a fail, but will wait a few hours with my fingers crossed. :) That's a great guide, btw. Thanks again.

Something to note...Google Play Services won't stay checked/selected in the DenyList after reboot. I've tried a few times, but every time I reboot, it's no longer selected. I've tried selecting the default one sub-item and all of the sub-items with the same result. I'm not sure if this is an issue, but it seems like it would be?

If it's not working in a few hours, maybe I'll try re-locking the bootloader again. 🤷‍♂️ Based on what I was reading about "Rollback Protection" (https://note.com/calm_hebe587/n/n8365967515bd), it seems like that shouldn't be the cause of the "your device is corrupt" error. Perhaps I got that error because I forgot to re-lock the critical partitions too. But I don't know. I can't really find any reports from people saying they've had success re-locking the bootloader after rooting.
[Lenovo Legion Y700] Rypha:
Oh yeah, if you're already rooted, locking the bootloader won't let you retain root through OTA updates. Actually you can't install the OTA update as it expects you to have the stock boot.img

So keep that in mind.

As for the play services not staying selected after a reboot, it's the same for me. But I still pass the CTS profile match.
[Lenovo Legion Y700] switchem:
Good to know about the Play Services thing. Hopefully mine will pass eventually. Is your evaluation type "Hardware backed"?

I'm actually not worried about OTA updates. This is just a gaming and media consumption device for me – no banking apps or personal info. I don't mind staying on this version "forever" if it means I can be rooted and watch Netlfix, lol.

The only reason I even need root is to encrypt the SD card because stupid ZUI won't let us setup the card as "device storage", only "portable storage". Maybe someone knows how to enable that grayed-out setting or somehow do it over adb?
[Lenovo Legion Y700] switchem:
Still no luck for me on the CTS profile match :(

So I tried one more time to lock the bootlooader, with same results - corrupt device warning, had to reflash.

Now I'm looking into using a custom fingerprint with the PlayIntegrityFix module. Seems like that's the hot new thing right now. Here's my convo on that thread, if anyone's interested: https://xdaforums.com/t/module-play-integrity-fix-safetynet-fix.4607985/post-89221023
[Lenovo Legion Y700] switchem:
I'm testing the HDMI over USB-C on my 2023 Y700 for the first time since unlocking and rooting, and it's not working. Also, I'm unable to turn off the "charge connected device" option when the USB->HDMI cable is connected. It just says "couldn't switch". Says same when i try to change the "controlled by" setting. I've tried multiple cables and docks. Anyone else with the 2023 model have this issue?

EDIT: It seems that my 2022 Y700 works just fine with the "controlled by connected device" setting on, as well as the "charge connected device" setting on when using a USB-HDMI cable. So, for some reason, my new tablet just isn't triggering the "Projection Screen" video out. I've tried the long-side port and the short-side port.

EDIT #2: Okay, I got it to work. The issue was the dock I was using. It's a dock for the Steamdeck, and it worked fine for my 2022 Y700 supplying power and handling video out via the one USB port. But the 2023 Y700 does not like this dock. Plugging it in seems to bug things out because I have to reboot the tablet to get the normal USB-to-HDMI cable to work. But not that cable works fine! And I can supply power to the device using the short-side port, so all is good.
[Lenovo Legion Y700] Uchi23a:
Is it really necessary to change the rom?

> Now I am stock with the updated version that ZUI 15 gives

Are there functions that are lost/or blocked by using the stock rom? ? Is it because the battery lasts longer? or is it to install win10 arm / debian?
[Lenovo Legion Y700] switchem:
By the way, if anyone with a 2023 Y700 knows of a compatible USB-C dock, please let me know. From my experience, it doesn't like to do both power-in and video-out from the same port. Also, all of the youtube reviews I can find that show video-out are using two ports as well – the long side port for video out and the short side port for power in. Maybe that's just how it has to be with this new model? 🤷‍♂️
[Lenovo Legion Y700] s4nchez:
How to install? Can it be via QPST?
[Lenovo Legion Y700] Phoenix2000:
i went ask some details about how to get a dedicated forum, and it's not as easy as i thought it would be.

Quoting an admin: "It is selected by popular demand and by the level of development that exists for a device. If, for example, a large amount of development threads for a device are created in a remotely related device forum or the general section, chances are very high a dedicated device forum will be created and the existing threads will be moved there.".

So before we can get a dedicated forum, it looks like some devs will have to show interest into the Y700. Not sure how we can proceed with that and get visibility. I thought it would go the other way around -> an existing dedicated forum would attract devs. :confused:

So basically the only problem with Lineage OS GSI is the presense of the "su" binary? I'm just confirming, because for me SafetyNet is not something I need, and if it's breakage is the only drawback, then LineageOS seems like a best option out of all.

Finally some gray imports has entered the market in my region. But so expensive. After the price is subtracted with sales tax, it's still Around 100 usd more expensive than the MSRP in China.

Been awhile searching for the latest firmware file but to no avail.

Anyone have a full rom file for 13.1.541 ST?

[Lenovo Legion Y700] richbumx:
edit: gone now
[Lenovo Legion Y700] dbjungle:
Someone must have bought it already. I already have an iPad Mini 6, but I want to buy a Y700 because I hate iOS. Is the main issue with the stock ZUI the notifications being inconsistent? I'd rather keep it stock for the desktop mode if it's usable.
[Lenovo Legion Y700] Phoenix2000:
I still see one, an 8GB/128GB model from the UK, currently one person bidding on it (not me, as mine is being somehere between China and Belgium as we speak).
[Lenovo Legion Y700] richbumx:
Edit: yeah it just sold yesterday!

for me the notifications just straight up weren't showing on most apps like fb messenger and Whatsapp which of course are pretty crucial time sensitive. yeah I lost desktop mode and now the gaming switch doesn't work, but what I gain is an actually usable OS
[Lenovo Legion Y700] dbjungle:
It is annoying to not get the notifications, but I find notifications on iOS to already be not usable. I'll probably just do what I did on my iPad Mini and mute all notifications and just rely on my phones. I'm getting pretty close to buying one since they got a little discount on Giztop ATM.
[Lenovo Legion Y700] dbjungle:
Nice, I'm in Netherlands. Did you buy on Giztop? I'm a little worried that VAT may hit pretty hard.
[Lenovo Legion Y700] orangpelupa:
i wonder whether lenovo didnt expect this to be such a seller in china. so they no longer have enough SD870 stock for a global version.
[Lenovo Legion Y700] Phoenix2000:
I have bought from AliExpress from "Mi and Lenovo Laptop Store" store. It did take them a long while to ship (4 weeks + 2 days of DLH delivery to Brussels), but i now have it in my hands. It's very snappy tablet.

I paid 647€ and they declared 110€ for the customs, even i asked that they declare more than that. So i had to pay only 35€ for customs in the end.

So all in all, 682€ total. Not cheap, but i really wanted that tablet for its specs and especially for its form factor.
[Lenovo Legion Y700] Phoenix2000:
Anyone successfully connected his Y700 to an external screen with USB-C?

Mine died when doing so :(
[Lenovo Legion Y700] orangpelupa:
probably bad grounding?
[Lenovo Legion Y700] Phoenix2000:
No idea, but if there was something like a bad grounding, it would be in the tablet i would assume, as i have zero issues with my work laptop (a Dell one) and my personal Surface Pro 7 using the same display connected with USB C.

Btw, using adb, it seems the tablet is responding to commands, but it's not authorized, so no way to run an adb reboot command of anything like that. If anyone has an idea on how to bypass that, i'm taking it. Unfortunately Google didn't help me much as all of what i found was instructing to authorize adb debug from within the tablet first, but since mine doesn't boot anymore, i'm stuck.

How is everyone's battery life after upgrading to Zui 15 15.0.361 on the 2022 model? Mine is garbage only get half the amount of time that I use to get and doesn't last the day
[Lenovo Legion Y700] Rypha:
You already figured it out before I replied, but for anyone else on this thread.

Reboot to recovery, select Apply update from ADB.

Then type "adb sideload nameofthezui15update.zip"

If you don't wanna spend the time typing the entire directory & name of the .zip just type "adb sideload " with a space after sideload, then click and drag the .zip from the file explorer into the CMD/Powershell window and press enter.
[Lenovo Legion Y700] Rypha:
No complaints from me. Seems about the same. Then again I did a factory reset after flashing ZUI 15. And disabled a bunch of preinstalled apps like I usually do.

Might make a list of what Chinese apps & services are safe to disable someday.
[Lenovo Legion Y700] xnappo:

[Lenovo Legion Y700] spearoid:
I've been away from the Android XDA community for a long time but this tablet has brought me back....I cannot get Windows to even react to my y700 when I connect it to my laptop. I am at what I believe to be the bootloader, with the giant Commodore 64 font....but I also go into Recovery and have the same experience. I've tried multiple USB cables, laptops even, I feel I must be missing something simple?

I can adb-command this tablet to the bootloader or use the Vol Up + power technique...but the only way Device Manager reacts to this tablet is when it's booted up into Android.

Any suggestions?
[Lenovo Legion Y700] :
In the case of TB320FC (2023), fastboot is only on the long side USB.

I don't know about TB9707F (2022).

[Lenovo Legion Y700] Aquahiker:
I upgraded to ZUI 15 last night on my Y700 2022 and can confirm that in-app purchases are not quite right. I usually don't do in-app purchase but tried to open up the in-app purchase screen with both WeatherUnderground and Transparent Weather Widget. Both windows failed to display. I also went into Apps-Google Play Services and updated that manually and that didn't help.
[Lenovo Legion Y700] Rypha:
Also on ZUI 15 and yeah, in app purchases won't work for me either.

Specifically for Honkai Star Rail as I haven't checked other games or apps.

Just like you I updated google play services, made sure I passed the cts profile match, etc.
[Lenovo Legion Y700] Aquahiker:
I have the Y700 2022 and upgraded it from ZUI 14 to ZUI 15 last night. It fixed a few annoying stuff about the tablet but I'm still on the fence about keeping it or not. I'm using it primarily for just media consumption. I have 2 other tablets to compare - the Samsung S8+ and the AllDoCube iPlay 50 Pro Mini.

Fixed:

1 - Music playing / other info in the notification panel & Lock Screen

2 - Some notifications are finally coming through (GMail still not working)

New Problems (so far):

1 - Like others have mentioned before, NovaLauncher home button stops working after a while

Old Problems still exists:

I'm not sold on the Multiple Space concept of the Y700. It makes a copy of the app so you can log into a different account, but it still shares the same folders for download, etc. I really need separate data folders - like how the iPlay uses the normal android multiple users/profiles or Samsung's Secured Folder.

Non-Fixable Problems:

No GPS

No Cellular Access

I didn't think the Non-Fixable Problems would bother me as much but the GPS was definitely missed.

NOW - my question is - is there a ROM I can use for the 2022 Y700 that allows the standard / generic multiple users / profiles? If so, what is the ROM you're using and how do I install that? I think I would keep the Y700 if I can do that...

Problems with the Samsung S8+ - just too damn big

Problems with the iPlay - I actually like this tablet a lot, with the GPS and Cellular all for $150. But I do notice some games stuttering because of the weaker processor.

Other Notes:

If anybody is in the market for a 2022 Y700 or the Samsung S8+, let me know! :) I might return the iPlay while I'm still in the return period window because 3 tablets is just too many and a waste!

Thanks.
[Lenovo Legion Y700] xnappo:
Thanks! At least I know it isn't just me. Annoying though, I don't have many in-app purchase apps, but the ones I do have I use a lot :(

Hi guys

I'm looking for the 2023 version.

Do you know if we can share sound with both bluetooth devices ? Like Samsung with the Dual Audio tech.
[Lenovo Legion Y700] satelliteseeker:
Found an update 15.0.418 for Y700 (2022) today. Update log:

Optimize the caller ID in wechat video

Optimize the audio effects in the game

Update the security patch

Optimize system stability

OTA zip (15.0.361-15.0.418) and stock boot.img are uploaded to MEGA:

101.41 MB folder on MEGA

3 files

mega.nz

Steps to keep the current Magisk installation after an OTA:

Enable ADB debugging

(Optional) Enable logcat and search for ".zip" after starting to download an update. This reveals the OTA URL (example: https://ota-cdn.lenovo.com/firmware/2024219134334518-6709.zip). The OTA zip file can be used for a local install from stock recovery.

Pause the OTA before the download completes

If there's already a Magisk backup of current boot.img, go to Magisk app -> Uninstall Magisk -> Restore Images

If there's no backup, the Restore Images command would fail. For the OTA installation to succeed, you need to manually flash the stock boot.img of your current OS version to the correct boot_a/boot_b partition.

To get the current partition suffix, run from adb shell (su):

/bin/getprop ro.boot.slot_suffix

To flash a boot file in internal storage, run from adb shell (su):

dd if=/sdcard/<path-to-boot.img> of=/dev/block/platform/soc/1d84000.ufshc/by-name/boot_a (or boot_b)

Swap "if" and "of" to backup the current (Magisk-patched) boot.img if needed.

Install the OTA and wait for it to finish, DO NOT REBOOT NOW

Go to Magisk -> Install -> Install to Inactive Slot (After OTA). This will save a backup for the new boot.img after OTA to /data/magisk_backup_*.

Reboot and Magisk will remain active!
[Lenovo Legion Y700] xnappo:
I actually received this update OTA last week in the US. The previous update I did manually. Unfortunately it does not fix the weirdness with Nova (still using my Tasker work-around )
[Lenovo Legion Y700] Rypha:
Thank you for the well written comment. I didn't know how to yoink the current boot.img or flash it via ADB without rebooting so this is very helpful.
