Hi,

My tablet arrived two weeks ago after waiting more than 40 days, I thought it would never do it…

Firstly, I would like to thank you all the posts that helped a lot me to fit the tablet as I like. Without this thread, it would be impossible to reach the goal :D.

My device arrived with the “global” rom installed so bootloader was unlocked. Widevine L1 still remains intact and is detected ok by Netflix.

As I didn’t like the global rom, with this post by Joncka (https://xdaforums.com/t/legion-y700.4418573/post-87618177) I installed the original ZUI 13, then, I updated to ZUI 14 by OTA but I didn’t like it and came back to ZUI 13. So with this other post by STHellRaiser (https://xdaforums.com/t/legion-y700.4418573/post-87748953) I tried CRDroid rom but also I wasn’t happy enough so, again, I came back to ZUI 13.

On ZUI 13 I thought that it would be easy to root the tablet using the normal Magisk patch but when I flashed the patched boot.img file, the tablet didn’t start and a black screen was showed. I thought that I bricked it but with QPST Flash Tool and QFIl, again I was able to come back to ZUI 13 (it was a very busy morning and a lot of ZUI 13 “come backs” xD).

Then I found this post in 4PDA (Mod Action: Link removed ) so I rooted the tablet with the faulty TWRP (it works but only displays a top line) and now I have a rooted tablet with ZUI 13.

Installing Play Store from APK Mirror I didn’t find any issue to download Chrome for example. I’ve disabled the ZUI App Store and other Chinese apps. For keyboard I installed Gboard and thanks to rwonderz I downloaded MoreLocale2 to translate the majority of menus on spanish.

I only use it for streaming, message apps… and I think that it was a great purchase. I wasn’t able to activate HDR on Netflix (I tried with a magisk module) but with the full hd config I’m ok.

I got the sn.img from Lenovo, it took a while for them to respond.

However Rifkin's post above linked to this https://xdaforums.com/t/legion-y700.4418573/post-87618177 give this a try if you don't hear from Lenovo.
[Lenovo Legion Y700] Trafford Devil:
Netflix has their own whitelist of devices approved for HDR, try spoofing one of the devices approved on their Dolby Vision whitelist listed here : https://help.netflix.com/en/node/23939/us

[Lenovo Legion Y700] Jonzun:
There is no footage of it running Crdroid though.
[Lenovo Legion Y700] JonTrv:
If it is telling you <waiting for any device>, it means the device has not responded to the 'fastboot devices' command. (You did enter that command, didn't you?)

I often have to have the USB cable (at the PC end) disconnected until after the first 'fastboot devices' command (which will expectably return null!) and after that plug in the USB cable and repeat the command until you see the device recognised by the software. (i.e.. 'serial no. fastboot' message.)

Only then can you do the 'fastboot flashing unlock' or 'fastboot OEM unlock' (both work on mine!)
[Lenovo Legion Y700] rifkin:
I didn't know how to spoof a concrete model so I've tried with lsposed+pixelify spoofing a Pixel 6 Pro only in Netflix and now HDR 10 - HEVC is active :)
[Lenovo Legion Y700] Dr. Light:
got it all figured out thanks.

so i got CRDroid installed and its super nice. everything is running perfect with one hiccup. the app drawer is ridiculously slim and all of the apps are smushed together so you can't click on anything. any ideas?
[Lenovo Legion Y700] Trafford Devil:
Try installing Nova launcher or changing the dpi in developer options.
[Lenovo Legion Y700] JonTrv:
Which version of crDroid did you install ? I am having some difficulty with faceunlock.
[Lenovo Legion Y700] Dr. Light:
crDroid-9.1-arm64_bgN-slim-Unofficial

thanks again! got everything all setup.
[Lenovo Legion Y700] JonTrv:
Settings > Display > Display size and text

set the display size one step larger than default.

app drawer then fills the entire screen.

one step smaller than default makes the app drawer even worse.

I also found out how to fix the faceunlock fail to complete setup.

With the device booted and USB debugging enabled, do:

adb shell pm uninstall --user 0 com.crdroid.faceunlock

then re-start the set-up sequence, no faceunlock app, set-up completes fine.
[Lenovo Legion Y700] Dr. Light:
nice! Is Netflix working for you?
[Lenovo Legion Y700] NisseGurra:
Can i install the crDroid 9.1 on the ZUI_13.0.586_ST_220222 firmware?
[Lenovo Legion Y700] JonTrv:
That is exactly what I did (586 restored after bricking it several times!).
[Lenovo Legion Y700] tomtit_paris:
Hi there,

Got a quick question if I may: Did anyone notice that, after the 14.0.231 ROM update, the floating FPS and performance panel just disappeared? in all the games.

Do you know how to get that back?

Thank you in advance.
[Lenovo Legion Y700] Keyfred:
What's the difference between the crDroid-9.1-arm64_bgN-slim-Unofficial and crDroid-9.1-arm64_bgN-Unofficial？Thanks
[Lenovo Legion Y700] fiocco:
He's here just moved on left screen now 😉
[Lenovo Legion Y700] Trafford Devil:
You have to register the app as a game first.

In settings search for "manage my game" under Legion Assistant. Then toggle whatever app you want. The floating dock will now appear on the left inside that app.
[Lenovo Legion Y700] Dr. Light:
nevermind. bootlooped...lol
[Lenovo Legion Y700] asseforlife:
hello anyone know how to change the model of the y700 fully please?

I'd like the lenovo legion y700 to appear as an asus rog phone 2 to try if 120hz is available in shadowgun legend (only available on asus rog phone 2 apparently).

Thanks
[Lenovo Legion Y700] NDUU:
Is there anyone who has the same issue as me after unlocking the bootloader?

This is the status of my widevine as confirmed by DRM info.

As you can see, the system ID part is weirdly changed.

I'm not sure if this is the cause, but I'm unable to use any apps that require widevine. (For example, Netflix gets stuck at the initial logo screen and does not progress.)

I have tried all of the following: Magisk's denylist, Universal SafetyNet Fix module, changing the device model name, factory reset, and using QFIL again

However, root check and YASNAC show no issues and apps like Netflix still do not run

re-locking the bootloader can solve the problem, but I don't want to go back to ZUI14.

Does anyone know any other solution except to lock the bootloader?
[Lenovo Legion Y700] Dr. Light:
mine shows the same, different id of course. i'm in the same boot as you. gave up. netflix wins...lol
[Lenovo Legion Y700] Zsepa:
if the issue is with ZUI14, you could reflash ZUI13 and just avoid updating
[Lenovo Legion Y700] rifkin:
My device arrived with the bootloader already unlocked and everything is working fine on ZUI 13. I've spoofed a Pixel 6 Pro only on Netflix to get enabled HDR but Netflix worked good before I installed the module.
[Lenovo Legion Y700] NDUU:
Unfortunately, in my case, no matter what ROM I use, the issue is not solved.
[Lenovo Legion Y700] warisz00r:
Can you get full volume out of the speakers with crDroid?
[Lenovo Legion Y700] sbfisher:
I got mine from Giztop. After updates it prompted me to make, it's on 14.0.231 ST . Not sure if this is the Chinese or "global" ROM. No bootloader unlocked warning for me, but when it arrived the language was already set to English for me and Google play was already installed, but I had to go to APK mirror to download the libraries and play store again after updates from 13 to 14. Then set the "Google play services mode" or whatever in the top right three dots (more settings) inside the apps area of the settings.

It is one of a few different actions. Search inside settings for "switch" and the setting lets you set how it works.

Set as startup enabled in the security/"safe” app and also try changing settings inside the "apps management" inside settings. I think the "allow notifications" made some of my apps mostly work. If you have accessibility permissions set on some apps it still seems to be revoking them after a day or so, idk why.

Why not switch to gestures for navigation (swipe from bottom to middle of screen for recent apps, from left or right for back, left across bottom for last app). This seems to work the same on most all devices that have recent Android versions, at least the ones I own.

Yes, I was annoyed by the switch keyboard button missing. Search for "keyboard" in settings. Select "language and input" result. Turn on "show keyboard change notification." Then when the keyboard is onscreen you can swipe from the top of the screen and there is a notification tile that lets you change the keyboard without going through all the settings app and it's fewer steps. This is similar to how some of my old devices had the keyboard change.

I haven't seen that problem, but I went into the settings and looked at different fonts and sizes.
[Lenovo Legion Y700] sbfisher:
I got the ”Lazarite M Pen" from Amazon since I like having a replaceable battery and you can carry extra aaaa size batteries. I got it for the P11 plus tablet, but works fine on this one, including pressure sensitivity and buttons. Not sure if the pen or tablet do tilt detection, but don't care. Palm rejection works. I believe if you look at pen compatibility for the P11 plus then maybe the same pens will work on this tablet (since it's hard to find docs for this tablet or they're in Chinese).

I don't really use the pen much and noticed that the stupid built in pen notes app consistently uses like 5% of the battery, even when I don't use the pen. I'll have to disable the app maybe.
[Lenovo Legion Y700] iPostNak3d:
Hi you all. New to all this. Just got this tablet from Aliexpress and I am having a hard time changing the time/clock.

The option is set to Chinese and it says I have to disable STUDY ASSISTANT first but I don't get this option to turn off.

See image attached.

Anyone having this problem? Thanks in advance.
[Lenovo Legion Y700] iPostNak3d:
I am also looking for this as this is stopping me to change the time on my tablet. Its set and stuck on Chinese time.
[Lenovo Legion Y700] Dr. Light:
yeah so this happened to me, i went in setup study assistant, and then it let me disable it.
[Lenovo Legion Y700] LFact:
I recently bought y700, it took about 10 days to be delivered. I'm okay with ZUI(apart from instaling SetEdit and adding Korean locale), but... after installing Google speech service, I cannot find 'setting' icon at where you choose TTS engine. You can choose which TTS engine you want to use, can choose what language it speaks, but cannot change its setting, I mean. You cannot change what voice to play, or download voice files for offline use.

I mainly use TTS for 'read aloud' feature of e-book readers(most of them are paid, but you can find free ones like Cool Reader and Librera FD(which is cut-down pro version hosted at F-Droid). Librera FD is fine, but Cool Reader uses its own TTS setting page(so you don't have to go between reader and OS setting screen to change TTS setting), and said e-book reader shows error when I try to enter its TTS setting page. (By the way, my Galaxy S20 FE is working well)

**Okay, Cool Reader working fine now. Seems like I had TTS initializing issue somehow when I ran it.
[Lenovo Legion Y700] Dr. Light:
anyone manage to relock their bootloader? my Y700 is not having it. just something everyone might want to think about before flashing something else....
[Lenovo Legion Y700] asseforlife:
after spending hours I finally has latest zui 13 with magisk root and gltools for force 120 fps in shadowgun legend but now I need to backup everything and I wanted to know if it was possible to backup whole zui 13 despite not having full twrp?

I have swift backup but if I backup all apps +data with system apps, then let's say I flash stock rom on another y700 :

will I be able to restore all apps systems apps and data and patched boot.img with magisk please?

If no, what would be correct way to backup at least apps +data +magisk and patched boot. img please?
[Lenovo Legion Y700] Zsepa:
without proper TWRP swift/titanium is the only backup we can get, restoring from swift is limited, i dont think you can restore system apps, so restoring magisk or anything else seems impossible
[Lenovo Legion Y700] rifkin:
Perhaps you can try with twrp command lines:

TWRP Commandline Guide

</style>CLIENT SIDE/SCRIPTinstall FILENAME :	install FILENAME zip file.

twrp.me

Or maybe this post, although is from a Sony Xperia, could help you:

[Lenovo Legion Y700] Saumer:
(not sure but) for pen users : do not update zui14.0.231 from zui14.0.197

some people and I feels 231 version pen worse than 197.

my experience is : during using 231, I had to put more strength into my hand because when I use without strength some parts of draws are not recognized. I compare this with Lenovo P11 using same pen(Lenovo Active Pen 3), and I felt P11 was a lot better.

after install 197, now I dont need to strength my hand. some lines of circle that usually not recognized on 231 are drawn as little 'v' or 'z' shape but its better than unrecognized.

sorry my poor english

this also affect on GSI
[Lenovo Legion Y700] Nightf0x_007:
hello guys, want to get this tablet but whats available is the chinese version how is it different from the global one ? in terms of root and modding stuff, i tend to keep it with it default software (zui) or should i look for ipad mini but without jailbreak ability its a deal breaker for me
[Lenovo Legion Y700] JonTrv:
Hardware wise, no difference at all. So called 'Global' version is just vendor has added google apps. The Chinese version is great if you can read Chinese...

I can't, and failed to find out how to fix default Chinese in the search. The other problem significant to many is that there are only two language choices, Chinese or US English. Fine if you are an English speaker, not so fine otherwise.

After lots of learning (documented here somewhere) I flashed crDroid 9.1 (link in this thread somewhere).
[Lenovo Legion Y700] JonTrv:
So far, not without irrecoverably corrupting the freshly installed firmware.

I would like to find a way to flash Lineage or crDroid via EDL mode, but I have yet to get my head round the repeated calls to python in the content.xml file in the native firmware. Maybe when I do I can replace the Lenovo system image files with GSI firmware.
[Lenovo Legion Y700] LFact:
What I did after receiving one:

- Set language to English, though you'll still see some Chinese.

- Install F-Droid and MiXplorer via ADB.

- Install Fennec browser from F-Droid.

- Download Google Play from apkpure, install it.

(well, actually, I didn't log in with my Google account. Instead I installed Aurora store, got some needed apps with that)

- Install SetEdit to add (your language) locale. But still, you'll see some Chinese and English...
[Lenovo Legion Y700] Nightf0x_007:
cant install google apps on the chinese version? or can you switch from chinese to global rom ?
[Lenovo Legion Y700] LFact:
You can install Google apps(some, if not all) on the Chinese version. Get Google Play from some known place like apkpure.

**Hmm... Aurora store shows Webview update, but if you choose updating it, it won't be updated. Instead you will see error message 'Incompatible app'. Google Play does not show Webview update at all.
[Lenovo Legion Y700] Nightf0x_007:
Im reluctant to get it or no, as will be using zenui software & not gsi roms

Will i be able to unlock bootloader of the device & root it ? Will i receive updates zui udpates? use Magisk modules to get around issues ?

Thanks
[Lenovo Legion Y700] JonTrv:
Yes, you can unlock the bootloader, I did 'fastboot flashing unlock' and 'fastboot oem unlock' also works, provided of course that you have first 'found' the device with 'fastboot devices'. I have not rooted mine, but others who have indicate that Magisk will do that for you. As far as get one or not, clearly that is up to you.

Pros: far and away the best screen resolution of any Android device of comparable size. Very solid build.

Cons: no GPS built in, so not suitable for dynamic map following. a bit heavy for holding one handed.
[Lenovo Legion Y700] Nightf0x_007:
can u root zui stock rom ?
[Lenovo Legion Y700] Saumer:
As I remember, just patch stock boot.img via Magisk app. If you want root gsi, use same that patched boot.img.
[Lenovo Legion Y700] asseforlife:
Two methods:

Install official chinese stock rom then patch the boot.img using magisk app, then copy paste the patched magisk boot .img to your pc > restart to fastboot-d mode (go recovery > enter fastboot ), then fastboot flash boot nameofbootpatched.img (replace with the name of magisk patched boot.img)

If you want to ota updates you will need to be extremely careful (you need to follow how to ota update with magisk root)

Or the simpliest would be to do all ota updates first (until 13.1.578 if you're gaming or until android 12 but i didnt ota updates for android 12 personally), then follow the "tutorial" above mentioned(if you do that , do it only when u finished ota updates!)
[Lenovo Legion Y700] alex4723717:
Wondering when ZUI releases an update for the ZUI 231 version. Do you think a new update will ever come?
[Lenovo Legion Y700] Dr. Light:
so i just thought of something, anyone running CRDROID 9.1 (Android 13) and have gotten Netflix to work? i was thinking Android 13 might be the culprit seeing as how i've tried every Netflix fix/module under the sun and nothing is working. maybe i could flash CRDROID 8.8/Android 12L and get it working....
[Lenovo Legion Y700] Trafford Devil:
If you install chrome it'll then update webview.
[Lenovo Legion Y700] quintinliono:
Where do I get the Boot.img? Is it from the stock firmware? Does it matter I've OTA updated to 13.1 (the last before 14)

Edit: I've used the 13.0.586 boot.img.

When I'm in fastbootd mode, ADB doesn't see the devices. It does see it when in recovery after I've mounted the devices. How should the patch boot.img be flashed ?

EDIT2: tried it on my pc, instead of my laptop. It worked, but got a bootloop. Tried going back to factory settings as well. Flashed it back with QFIL and doing the updates again.

So if somebody has a way to get this last piece of the puzzle (which is obtaining root) for me it will be great!

Thanks in advance
[Lenovo Legion Y700] pikachurin:
I just bought my Y700 today. Everything so far is great, updated to ZUI14, lost Pc mode at first but I found a way to bring it back. Now I'm waiting for my Lenovo Pen to arrive. Does anyone know how to add more function to the toggle switch? Like switching to PC mode?
[Lenovo Legion Y700] quintinliono:
How did you manage to get here? I'm just stuck in a bootloop until i wipe back with QLIF. Factory resetting from recovery gets me the setup page, but i cannot continue after the first screen.
[Lenovo Legion Y700] asseforlife:
I did all updates from zui 13 to 13.1.578 using the tutorial Ota updates with magisk
[Lenovo Legion Y700] quintinliono:
So did you flash the patched boot.img with QFIL while installing 13.0.586 and then did the OTA after?

Can you give a brief summary of how to do the OTA updates after you've been rooted with Magisk?

EDIT: I've lost count how many times I flashed with QFIL now. I can get it rooted when on 13.0.586. This through the patched boot.img. But I can't upgrade from there. I've download all the OTA updates and try to install them manually. Rebooting through the Magisk app, but after that I just get Bootlooped.

So I can't flash the boot.img once I'm at 13.1.578 and I can't OTA (not even with local files) from a rooted 0.586.

Teach me master asseforlife 😢
[Lenovo Legion Y700] quintinliono:
How did you end up doing this?

Do you have the latest ZUI13? or 13.0.xxx?

I came as far as flashing TWRP with the top line and trying to instal the Magisk.zip. Only ending up with another bootloop, and back to QLIF. What were your steps in gaining root?
[Lenovo Legion Y700] LFact:
App installer refuses to install it.

'INSTALL_FAILED_MISSING_SHARED_LIBRARY'

I'm like 'What the heck is com.google.android.trichromelibrary?'

**Ugh... should I uninstall default browser... I don't use it anyway.

**I wonder if installing trichromelibrary(got apk from apkmirror) will solve the problem. But, it won't install because it conflicts with existing version?
[Lenovo Legion Y700] asseforlife:
I wrote everything.. you need to flash the patched boot.img from the right firmware, if you flash the patched boot.img from the 13.0.Xxx for the 13.1.578 it will result to a bootloop, I used the patched boot.img from this thread when I was at the very first zui 13.0.xxx then I followed the tutorial '' Ota updates with magisk installed '' on Google, for example now I'm on the zui 13.1.578 so I need to patch the boot.img from 13.1.578 if I want to restore apps etc on 13.1.578.
[Lenovo Legion Y700] quintinliono:
Hi,

Thanks for the reply and sorry if I'm asking dumb questions but:

I figured the first thing. Because when I was on 13.0.xxx the Magical patch works.

But I cannot update anymore. The OTA updates don't show up anymore. And even when I've saved them from the .zuiota folder (I now have three OTA on my computer) I cannot install them with the three dots and choosing for a local file.

So the question is here: can you point me in the "OTA updates with Magisk installed" tutorial, because I only see this, but this is only useful if you actually get OTA updates through the system..

It's is not that I don't do research, it just doesn't work for me 😅
[Lenovo Legion Y700] Nightf0x_007:
Want to get a tablet & im targeting this tablet would.u recommend it?, The one available to get is the chinese version & im intending in keeping its stock zui rom & root it via magisk
[Lenovo Legion Y700] Kajman:
How did you manage to get pc mode back??
[Lenovo Legion Y700] quintinliono:
Definitely. Received mine this week and it is perfect for my usecases. I just need root on the later versions of ZUI so keep tabs on this thread is my advice!
