Hi, @kenek29 ,

You've to follow the instructions from @mcaleb on his post:

Open the App setedit, then click on "Add new settings", then write "system_locales" (without " "), and on the next menu write "es-ES" (without " ") and save.

es-ES if you're trying to adjust in spanish, if not, just type your language code.

Then, reboot the tablet.

ZUI 14 and below seems to support the .zip method you mention. I got my updates using OTA option and have never tried the zip method. Check your settings on System Update app. I'm guessing that you are using the package zip update method.
[Device Reviews and Information] mcaleb:
ZUI 15 with Android 13 successfully updated via OTA
[Device Reviews and Information] gitanillo87:
Solved thanks
[Device Reviews and Information] deif102:
do you have the bootloader locked or unlocked?
[Device Reviews and Information] mcaleb:
Unlocked
[Device Reviews and Information] elxandre1:
I used the guide in the thread to lock bootloader to get Widevine L1.

It went well and I locked bootloader, Only to end up with a" Your device is corrupt. It can't be trusted and will not boot "error, then a bootloader bootloop screen.

I've tried using RSA too but I get this attached error.

How do I restore device?

Do I have to unlock bootloader to restore my device?
[Device Reviews and Information] elxandre1:
How did you solve please?
[Device Reviews and Information] mcaleb:
Follow the guide HAHAHA to recover your device with it you will unlock your bootloader again and you will be able to load the firmware using qfil.

Unlock Bootloader without proper unlock file - Xiaoxin Pad Pro 2021 [TB-J716F]

Hello fellow friend, "Corrupted device" NO LONGER This guide is targetted at those who like me, locked their bootloader and got the message : "corrupted device blabla" And are desperate as Lenovo doesn't answer when we ask for the unlock file...

[Device Reviews and Information] elxandre1:
Thanks bro.

After this, how do I lock without error?

I really need widevine L1
[Device Reviews and Information] mcaleb:
There is only the method you used, I don't know the reason why some users report their device not booting after locking the bootloader when others have it working and recover windivine L1, it's a mystery.
[Device Reviews and Information] gitanillo87:
The reason is you have to lock the bootloader using the tab with the last update available ...to solve you have to unlock the bootloader again..i use this https://xdaforums.com/t/lock-unlock-bootloader-xiaoxin-pad-pro-2021-tb-j716f.4347321/ works perfectly
[Device Reviews and Information] elxandre1:
can you please state the exact zui version you used to lock bootloader successfully?
[Device Reviews and Information] gitanillo87:
I dont lock the bootloader yet maybe this week i can try dont have more time..
[Device Reviews and Information] lenovobricked:
my QFIL = success

but i can't get it boot. i believe the device is still good.

i compared the partition info from QFIL with a working device looks same.

need to understand why can't power up.

some say the battery need to charge up? so i am leaving the tablet charging till tomorrow and try power on again see if can boot.

i look other thread of lenovo seem like this can't power up is also happening to other bricked device.
[Device Reviews and Information] lenovobricked:
i have see youtuber video indicating update till zui 14
[Device Reviews and Information] lenovobricked:
did you sign up for beta testing program? or vpn to china?
[Device Reviews and Information] gitanillo87:
Do It now this IS the zui versión 14.0.714 ST
[Device Reviews and Information] mcaleb:
I think it was with a Chinese VPN, I tried many from the Play Store, apparently none of them detected any updates so I gave up, but then I turned on the tablet and realized that an update had been downloaded without being connected to the VPN.
[Device Reviews and Information] elxandre1:
Will the bootloader lock successfully with that?
[Device Reviews and Information] gitanillo87:
Yeah now tablet IS full booted with lv1..
[Device Reviews and Information] mcaleb:
Can anyone change the time zone of their tablet to Shanghai and check if it gets the ota zui 15 update to Android 13? Please check it periodically every 30 minutes, the update may not arrive the moment you change the time zone to Shanghai.
[Device Reviews and Information] Chinaquads:
I´ve changed my Location and time, Location via VPN to China, no Update so far.

I´m on ZUI 14.0.714 ST

Edit: 30 Minutes Later it works:
[Device Reviews and Information] elxandre1:
Finally got Widevine L1!

Updated to zui 14.0.714.

Then I locked the bootloader with "fastboot flashing lock" command.

Thanks all of you. 😘
[Device Reviews and Information] mcaleb:
I wanted to know if it would detect the update without using a Chinese VPN.
[Device Reviews and Information] mcaleb:
some volunteer to change location and time zone to china shanghai and check if it detects the update without using vpn china, check every 30 minutes if the update arrived, it usually takes a while to detect the update.
[Device Reviews and Information] Chinaquads:
Without YPN after restart. Only Time change to Singapur.
[Device Reviews and Information] lenovobricked:
So now you are using ZUI 15? Is it stable?
[Device Reviews and Information] deif102:
Which VPN did you use and which location did you set?
[Device Reviews and Information] mcaleb:
In settings change time zone to Shanghai , do not use VPN for the moment, the update usually takes a while to be detected by the tablet, check the update app every 30 minutes or more, if it does not detect anything in 2 hours without VPN , let me know.
[Device Reviews and Information] BRuser:
How? Tell me, I've tried everything. I've already locked it in all versions of Zui and Widevine remains L3
[Device Reviews and Information] gfellow:
I updated my device from ZUI 14 to ZUI 15 and everything is working well.

However, I have an issue with Netflix because it no longer supports Widevine L1, which was available before the upgrade. Now it only shows L3.

Surprisingly, DRM Info shows L1.

Can someone confirm this or provide a solution to this problem?
[Device Reviews and Information] mcaleb:
Did you use a VPN for the update?
[Device Reviews and Information] gfellow:
No. Only via wifi. I haven't altered the timezone either.
[Device Reviews and Information] daespasa:
hey! i want to change from global to cn, following the tutorial of caleb in the page 3. But when i arrive to the part of these link that have the instructions, i can't open it. does anyone has the txt of the instructions? https://disk.yandex.ru/d/cnpHRe5OgmxtVQ/Обновления для ZUI 13
[Device Reviews and Information] Skryker:
I don't have the txt doc, but it said something like this:

- Install first the 1 number

- Then the 2 number

Follow the sequence 1-2

Copy the zip file (1) to root drive on the Tab and name it with "update" (whithout " ")

On the system update menu, go to the three dots (up, right), and select the first option (don't remember what exactly says).

The same whit 2 after install the 1st update.

I think that was it more or less.
[Device Reviews and Information] thehunterx:
Oh unlucky . So are you try recover by Lenovo tool.
[Device Reviews and Information] patchyfog:
Hi, any help that can be offered is greatly appreciated.

I've just ordered this, however, I ordered the global rom version sold by Lenovo Office Store. I wish I had seen this thread first as it seems I chose the wrong seller/version.

The tablet is a gift for my 10 year old. She only really uses her tablet for video Messenger and games like Minecraft, Roblox and Toca World - do you foresee any problems? Will she have security issues logging into her accounts? Any recommendations on what I should do before she uses it with regards to flashing? Is flashing even possible yet?

I thought there would have been more about this tablet on XDA as it's been out for a few months now...unless I've just not been able to find the threads???

Also, where is the best place to grab a case for this tablet? The only ones I can find locally (Australia) are for the Pro version.

I hope I've not made a poor choice, I was tempted to get the 4gb M10 Plus but the Xiaoxin had 6gb RAM.

Thanks in advance
[Device Reviews and Information] patchyfog:
So does this mean the accessories, such as case of screen protector, will fit? The dimensions I found look different.

How to Root this tablet with global rom?
[Device Reviews and Information] thehunterx:
Global ROM only unlock bootloader - non root .
[Device Reviews and Information] croperas:
Mine just died, refuses to turn on without any apparent reason after a few days of basic usage

Not recognized by PC and it seems like a HW issue

No button combos worked
[Device Reviews and Information] mcaleb:
This problem is present on all xiaoxin pad 2022 devices, please press the three keys at the same time volume + - and power on for 10-15 seconds and you can boot the device from recovery, maybe the first time it happens, you need to format from boot. recovery to be able to revive it.
[Device Reviews and Information] croperas:
Thank you!

That actually worked, i'm still amazed it did tho

After owning several devices both Chinese and others, i've never encountered a situation like this, i mean, why did that work when everything else failed? even on the hw level it wasn't working, also how did a device get from a booted working state to such a state?

This is even worse than a DFU mode because at least that can still be detected
[Device Reviews and Information] mcaleb:
This device originally has lenovo zui firmware, but the Chinese unlock bootloader and flash a global one, which seems to be faulty, the device goes into that deep sleep state when you connect the charge and puts it to sleep immediately or when you disconnect the charge and it goes to rest immediately, I went back to the original ZUI firmware and it is better optimized.
[Device Reviews and Information] croperas:
Interesting

So you also experienced these issues on your tablet? do you know if there is a fix other than a rom change?

What are the supported languages on the lenovo rom? and where can i get it?

My tablet is: TB128FU_S000020_220309
[Device Reviews and Information] mcaleb:
I had this problem too, we all have, it is very easy to revert to original Chinese firmware zui with qfil tool was able to flash the firmware zui, you can install Google services manually. English is the system language but if you need another language you can use morelocale2 or the seedit apk so that the applications are in your native language.
[Device Reviews and Information] croperas:
So i can use qfil to flash stock rom + gaps then install morelocale2 for more languages, is that correct?

Just saw your edit, thank you the video is good enough i understand now

Tutorial video for app SETEDIT, switch apps to your native language

Install app setedit from play store on your phone and tablet, on the tablet click on add new settings and create the same value that appears on your phone "system_locales" without " " are automatically added, then add the abbreviation of your language and country without the " " example: "es-ES" then restart your device, Applications will switch to your native language, system settings will remain in English, you will get used to it very quickly.

You can manually uninstall all junk chinese apps in ZUI.

The security app is very aggressive on ZUI. It will repeatedly remove all permissions given to apps like notifications etc. Type in the system browser "special app access", then access "modify system settings" and deny permission to the security application.

(regardless of this point, every time you install an application in zui you must manually grant the permissions in the "apps management" section in the menu settigs)

Does anyone attempt to get Netflix work in HD? Widevine stucks at L3 is quite annoying ):
[Device Reviews and Information] mcaleb:
For Netflix to work in HD you need to lock the bootloader, it is possible to do this, but I don't know the method to re-lock it at the moment.
[Device Reviews and Information] thehunterx:
If my tablet running global rom any risk impact when i do relock bootloader on adb command ?
[Device Reviews and Information] Rigle:
I just received the tablet and I'm wondering how to have L1 for Netflix. It seems that the way is using the Russian tutorial and then locking the bootloader? Or is there any possibility to update TB128FU_S000020_220309 to a newest version easily?

I don't mind changing the ROM, but I would like to have Widevine support :)

[Device Reviews and Information] elxandre1:
did you try locking in ZUI 14.0.714?
[Device Reviews and Information] elxandre1:
is your playstore still certified?

How did you confirm L3 since DRM info still shows L1?
[Device Reviews and Information] Chinaquads:
Yes.
[Device Reviews and Information] gfellow:
Thank you for your reply.

Yes, Play Protect is certified.

The alteration occurred solely post ZUI 15 upgrade via OTA. Despite reinstalling the Netflix app, no amendments were detected.

An oddity is that the system ID in the DRM info is different from the one in the Netflix settings.

System ID DRM Info : 25078 - Security Level L1

System ID Netflix settings in the app: 22590 - Widevine L3

I did not wittingly confirm L3

Can i ask you why you do want to downgrade , is zui 14 worse compare to zui 13 ?

I'm on zui 13 and i am hesitating to upgrade to zui 14

I'm not interested in widevine L1 certification, I use my tablet mainly for studying (Lots of PDF's and note taking + youtube)

Do you guys recommend me to update to zui 14 or even zui 15 ? , are they stable ? Thanks
[Device Reviews and Information] mdio:
Hello.

Thank you for this message, it saved my tablet, after trying to update it with Lenovo Rescue & Smart..

Do you know a away to add more languages, or a version of this ROM to use in EU?

Thank you.
[Device Reviews and Information] mcaleb:
In the same post I indicate how to change to your native language with the setedit application.
[Device Reviews and Information] taku_JP:
Hi,

Thanks to mcaleb, Lehile and everyone, I was able to get L1 today!

At first, I followed mcaleb's instructions to update to 13.476 and bootlocked it, which resulted in a soft brick, but I started over again. After updating to 476 according to the instructions, I was able to get L1 by updating to 14.714 with an OTA update and bootlocking it. thanks so much.
[Device Reviews and Information] mdio:
Thank you for your effort, but that does nothing.
[Device Reviews and Information] mcaleb:
If it works, you are doing something wrong, setedit makes the applications you have installed run in your native language, the system settings remain in English or Chinese.
[Device Reviews and Information] nizdi:
How can I downgrade to ZUI 14? I can't stand this fcking TASKBAR!!

Or does anyone found a way to hide it?
[Device Reviews and Information] gfellow:
I can't tell you how to downgrade to ZUI 14. But you can find the settings for the taskbar in the general settings.
[Device Reviews and Information] nizdi:
Unfortunately you can't disable it. It was fine in ZUI 14 but it looks terrible in ZUI 15.
[Device Reviews and Information] Urban03:
Do you use Netflix app, L1 is present also there?
[Device Reviews and Information] elxandre1:
Maybe uninstall and reinstall Netflix
[Device Reviews and Information] PainToad:
I don’t have the tablet, but looks like you can turn it on/off in 15 according to the video at 9:15
[Device Reviews and Information] gfellow:
Thank you for your reply.

Unfortunately no, even a factory reset did nothing. I'm pretty clueless.
[Device Reviews and Information] PainToad:
Does anyone know where ZUI_13.5.365_ST_220526 Firmware available on Mega was sourced from?

I’d rather download the ROM from an offical Lenovo/ZUI source.
[Device Reviews and Information] d1e6o:
Same here...

After update from ZUI 14 to 15, everything works great, except for widevine L1 with netflix....
[Device Reviews and Information] xd4d3v:
So the tablet is in L1 yet Netflix is in L3?

Seems like something that needs to be reported for Netflix to fix.
[Device Reviews and Information] d1e6o:
It is still locked....I locked it after installing the original rom ZUI 13 to have widevine L1.
[Device Reviews and Information] xd4d3v:
My bad, i noticed the earlier comment and edited mine. We need to report this to Netflix
[Device Reviews and Information] xd4d3v:
For the people who have ran ZUI, lineage OS and GSIs?

Which one is faster?

How much Chinese stuff is on ZUI?

Is ZUI safe after cleaning or is it pinging Chinese services?
[Device Reviews and Information] xd4d3v:
Where are the pins?
[Device Reviews and Information] Urban03:
So there is only a problem with Netflix after updating to ZUI 15? Other streaming platforms and youtube work without any problems in Full HD?
[Device Reviews and Information] xd4d3v:
so my tablet is fully bricked.

I went to ZUI14, but my bootloader was still weird, without all the info, and I wasn't able to move from the "Start option"

So I flashed ZUI 13 to see if it would fix it.

After flashing, the tablet stopped responding to anything.

I can't enter recovery, fastboot, or edl, it doesn't even show it's charging.

I'm comfortable with some hardware work if anyone has any ideas.
[Device Reviews and Information] mr.vllad:
I had the same thing. It was decided very easily. You need to install firmware 14.0.714 or 15.0.348:

14.0.714 - https://disk.yandex.ru/d/Fnp0z7vbyR72jQ

15.0.348 - https://disk.yandex.ru/d/0z_jQNz3P7tsDA

PS: If your tablet was manufactured after August 2023, and it arrived to you on global firmware, then after installing zui 14-15 you will not be able to go back to the global firmware or install custom or zui 13.5. Otherwise you will get a brick. Without problems, you can install after the global firmware zui 13.5 and don't update it, or twrp and custom firmware.
[Device Reviews and Information] xd4d3v:
Unfortunately the tablet is unresponsive so i can't even get a qloader com port.

No idea on the date as not written anywhere

But could be August+
[Device Reviews and Information] mr.vllad:
You need to flash using TestPoint. To do this, you need to disassemble the tablet, clamp the two contacts and connect the usb cable to the computer. Here is a photo: https://ds-blobs-4.cdn.devapps.ru/2...0da4b00000000c5170681eb37ffc922369c14247f8008
[Device Reviews and Information] xd4d3v:
Thanks man, I was waiting for someone to post the picture of the test pins.

I've done it, and i got EDL back!

rather than risking another brick with ZUI, I will edit the oem partition to make it global, and install my local firmware, it's a bit of a safer bet, if it works,
[Device Reviews and Information] xd4d3v:
How can i tell when the tablet was made? To make sure i can edit oem and go to global? Or in my case, my countries row.

Test points worked, downloading 14.0.714 now
[Device Reviews and Information] mr.vllad:

Hey Guys!

Just bought a 4GB version from ali and wanna prepare for the usage. It will come with global firmware. Is it safe to install the android 13 global fw from needrom?(https://www.needrom.com/download/lenovo-tab-m10-plus-3rd-gen-tb128fu-13/)

Which is the smoother, the global or the chinese fw? Theres no chance to get widevine L1 with unlocked BL?
[Device Reviews and Information] xd4d3v:
yeah, mine is August.

The only strange thing that remains is that rebooting to bootloader leaves me with a broken bootloader, that basically hangs, and you cannot cycle through options or even choose start.

What's the solution to this?

EDIT: Do you mind sending me your OEM partition? I'm checking to see whether mine is correct, and whether we can repurpose this method below for installing Global.

[ TB-Q706F ] Pad Pro 12.6 Bypass Lenovo's region lock. ROW <==> ZUI easy

If you replaced the ZUI with the global and you see a black screen on startup with a warning about the incompatibility of software and hardware - that's your case ;) Look my video: It also will works the other way around, except that the ZUI...
