[Lenovo P11] tylerdanarg:
Well, I got a new tablet. With the TB132FU_S300062_220921_ROW.

A few things that I noticed:

1. When I connect the laptop through USB, It's shown as Lenovo Tab P11 Pro (2nd Gen), not like the one I Flash with CN and then Global rom, that shown some simbols in chinese and "Pad Pro".

2. The OTA is not even showing.

3. Bootloader seems to be unlock, but without the warning at start up. (Seems they modified the rom so it not shows that warning Orange state). But the device is not certified in Google Play (therefore I cant download Netflix, Disnery, HBO, etc).

4. I'm doing a full back up these time but with phyton (also with SP but seems that making a backup for the USER partition doesn't back up all files that makes this tablet shown as Lenovo P11 Pro (2nd gen) and also grants widevine L1.

Regarding widevine L1, this tablet shows a different device ID in DRM info than the one with Widevine L3. Seems that device id was overwritten for this one to be as the global version, and that when I format and flash the one with widevine L3 it change the widevine device id to the xiaoxin pad pro, that was not certified by Lenovo.

Now a question for those who have done it, will it be better to directly flash the official rom (without flasghin lk_a.bin file? ) May be that way I can keep the system as Lenovo P11 Pro (2nd gen) and not Xiaoxin.

After flashing the official global rom, I will have to lock the bootloader in order to get certified device on Google Play.

Did anyone flash directly from fake rom to gloabl rom, without flashin CN Rom?
[Lenovo P11] als_bvg:
About your question, you can flash any rom on top of any rom. Tried several things and no hard briks. No hard briks were ever reported. So it should be safe. I would try flashing the 000094 on top of the S300062 you have without lk file and using downloadnon the flash tool.

After flashing, if bootloader is indeed unlocked you will see the message at booting, but I believe this is not the case.

Keep us posted. :)
[Lenovo P11] tylerdanarg:
Well. I flashed the original global rom over the fake one. Without lk_a. Power button didnt work. Didnt turn on. So I flash CN Rom completed. Then the original global rom without lk_a. And block the bootloader since it was unlock. Now I have widevine L1 and Google play certified (it wasnt until I block the bootloader)
[Lenovo P11] als_bvg:
Awesome news! Next step is to try copy/import the files you believe are responsible for the L1 certification to your other device. :)
[Lenovo P11] tylerdanarg:
Try to do that. But I couldnt extract individual files. Just a full rom file with sp tool. And when i wrote that whole file couldnt get L1 back. My guess is that some files are not backed up on the ROM file. Try to do it with python and mtkclient but couldnt pass the preloader handshake. Knowledge limitation from my side on how to do it.
[Lenovo P11] als_bvg:
Thanks for the update. So you saying you made a full backup (ROM_1) of your New device with L1 and flashed it on your old tablet and yet it didn't get the L1 certification?

I have a backup of another user with the first available firmware "TB132FU_S300062_220921_ROW" and found a tutorial on the Russian forum on how to fix the writing error, but If you say it didn't work I don't want to format everything and start over again. Let me know.
[Lenovo P11] tylerdanarg:
The thing is that I was able to flash the back up of the L1 tablet to the L3 one. But it stay on L3. I found a post with a how to make a full rom backup with python and mktclient soft but couldnt past the handshake of the preloader. My guess is that there are some files that are not copied on ROM_1 file. Maybe another partition besides BOOT_1 and USER. But I don't have the knowledge to skip the handshake verification that is failling on this python soft.
[Lenovo P11] Zerreth:
@tylerdanarg

Just got mine, also on TB132FU_S300062_220921_ROW. (Fake Global ?) Most interested in seeing yours reach the finish line in one piece. So I'm lurking for now...
[Lenovo P11] tylerdanarg:
If you wanna have L1 and Google play certification with an official global rom, you should flash the CN ROM first, then lock the bootloader and finally flash the official global rom without lk_a file.

This Is what I did.

Never format the ROM! That is what took L3 out of mine.
[Lenovo P11] karpovse:
Hi als-bvg ! thank you for the detailed instrution. Followed it after I have used lenovo rescue sw tool to install 20221117 rom that made my Lenovo P11 pro gen 2 (MTK1300T, bought with global ROM in Aliexpress) the brick. followed your instructions - download worked well. However, I get anyway the message - the system is currently is not compatible with the hardware (pls see attahced jpg file). can you please advise what can I do now to make the

tablet work. thank you
[Lenovo P11] Zerreth:
Alright to help others in the same situation as @tylerdanarg and myself:

Purchased "Lenovo Xiaoxin Pad Pro 2022 6GB 128GB ROM MediaTek 1300T" via Aliexpress with "Global Rom".

Mine shipped from France for about 312 euro and included an unofficial case (not recommended).

Build is TB132FU_S300062_220921_ROW. Netflix is L1, charging is at 20W, not 30W and some HDR content is washed out. TLDR; Pretty outdated, some bugs and no OTA, ever.

For the AliExpress seller to ship it out like this ADB is already enabled and the bootloader is already unlocked.

Stuff you need:

- 1) Download & install "UniversalAdbDriverSetup.msi".

- 1) Download and extract the official Android platform tools & USB drivers:

Get the Google USB Driver | Android Studio | Android Developers

The Google USB Driver is required to perform adb debugging on Windows with Google devices.

developer.android.com

SDK Platform Tools release notes | Android Studio | Android Developers

Android SDK Platform-Tools is a component for the Android SDK.

developer.android.com

This will actually give you fastboot, unlike the "universal" drivers from clockwork linked in the 1st post.

- 2) Download & install "Mediatek_Driver_Auto_Installer_v1.1352.zip".

- 3) Download & extract "TB132FU_CN_OPEN_USER_ZUI_14.0.691_ST_221117.rar" with password "XDAfpm".

- 4) Download & extract "TB132FU_S000094 Global.rar".

- 5) Download & run "flashtool.rar" (MTK_flashtool_V1.2152 -> flash_tool.exe).

For actually flashing the device, follow the guide in the first post.

Now to get to the latest global version with Widevine L1 intact:

- 1) We need to flash the CN ZUI14 rom (with lk_a).

- 2) reboot into bootloader via either

A) adb command: "adb reboot bootloader"

B) turn device off, hold volume up + power

- 3) Lock the bootloader. ("fastboot flashing lock")

If fastboot isn't working check if windows device manager shows unknown device or exclamation mark. If so assign it the android adb driver manually.

- 4) Flash the global rom (without lk_a).

- 5) Factory reset.

[Lenovo P11] montainz09:
Does this imply that an already-unlocked bootloader is maintained when flashing the global rom? Or once the global rom is flashed, do you see the same as us with official global hardware + global rom where OEM unlocking is greyed out and fastboot unlock commands fail
[Lenovo P11] tylerdanarg:
Seems to me that OEM lock is not the same as bootloader lock. So unlock commands fails because its still unlock at bootloader level.
[Lenovo P11] als_bvg:
I was wondering if we would get L1 back if we use the service tool Lenovo sends temporary credentials to when we contact them via their rescue tool. Wanna try that? I will be traveling this week so I can't test it but is a good try.
[Lenovo P11] tylerdanarg:
I have sold the tablet with L3. So I wont be able to test it. But if someone has the same problem could work. I don't know if the tool they send Is similar to flashing ZUI with SP. If so have tried that and didn't work.
[Lenovo P11] lplau:
Looks like there is now a new global rom

TB132FU_S000097_230108_ROW

Not sure what this one fixes
[Lenovo P11] Hanswurstistda:
I think i wait till we get Android 13 before flashing a new rom.

But thanks for mention it
[Lenovo P11] diamondX04HT:
Is it available in the RSA tool?
[Lenovo P11] lplau:
It was available via the system update button on the tablet.
[Lenovo P11] als_bvg:
Not so good news guys! A user from 4pda downloaded the latest update for the global and tried to flash it and seems like Lenovo "fixed" the trick I found and it's no longer working. This is the problem with sharing knowledge online. lol

I'll be off for a few days so I can't resume testing new tricks, but I'll keep checking to see if we have more good news for our loved Chinese TB132FU. Again, don't be afraid of playing with the system. This is the fun part!
[Lenovo P11] tylerdanarg:
The trick Is the exclusion of lk_a? Seems that will be all on ZUI if we want updates...

I have no knowledge to help solve how to transform chinese to global fully. But Im sure that you or someone in the community will be able to do it.

In the meanwhile I'm contacting lenovo on every single channel they have, telling them that they should give technichal support to those who bought their tablet online (AliExpress).

It will affect brand reputation if our interaction with their products is limited or faulty, hence affecting potential sales of other Lenovo products.
[Lenovo P11] hurcked:
I bought my unit via aliexpress, it came with the fake global. I installed the ZUI by the third method, the bootloader already blocked automatically, later I installed the global TB132FU_S000094 Global. Everything working perfectly, L1, HDR, Pen and Keyboard. The only thing I noticed was that watching movies on Disney+, but if I activate the phone via bluetooth, or turn off the sound later, it works. Other than that everything working. (Note: Update came but I didn't install it on your recommendation.)

Thanks to everyone who helped with this guide.
[Lenovo P11] hurcked:
Has anyone tried to update via OTA and was successful?
[Lenovo P11] als_bvg:
OTA doesn't work. You can try. it will just restart. :P So far no new options to update to the latest firmware.

[Lenovo P11] Ricky2022:
Hi,

Did You mean it is "TB132FU_S000097_230108_ROW"??
[Lenovo P11] jpapadami:
Is there a repository of where we can download older TB132FU global versions and flash them using the instructions from post 1?

It has come to my attention that in a recent update (i.e maybe this version of TB132FU_S000094_221117_ROW) Lenovo has blocked the possibility to use MPP 2.0 stylus pens (i.e even the Precision Pen 2) other than the Precision Pen 3. People from Reddit have confirmed that their other pens (e.g Surface Pen and PPen 2.0) used to work, but after a recent update they don't work anymore. Though their other pens work by having to first pair a Precision Pen 3, you still have to either buy one or try to find one. This really pisses me off and I hate these types of tactics. Not to mention that in the EU it's sold out everywhere and you can't find it.

In my case, I am using this version and can pair a Surface Pen, but that's it. I can't write, draw, or do anything with it.
[Lenovo P11] jpapadami:
So I found this link with firmwares but they are all paid.

https://support.halabtech.com/index...lTrw8qRto8fwL75C9.lY-1678298644-0-gaNycGzNCrs

So I guess the previous version to the one from post 1 is TB132FU_S000089_221020_ROW. Any thoughts of where I can download it for free and try it out?
[Lenovo P11] Cosmitooo:
HERE: https://mirrors.lolinet.com/firmware/lenovo/Tab_P11_Pro_2nd_Gen/TB-132FU/
[Lenovo P11] jpapadami:
Thanks. I assume they are global roms and will work using the instructions from post 1?

EDIT: By the looks of this post, they are Russian ROMs for development purposes, so I don't think I am going to risk it unless they are official global ROMs.
[Lenovo P11] spectrixx:
I've successfully changed from ZUI to the official Global ROM.

One issue I had was that of Netflix giving a message saying that the device isn't supported.

So I sideloaded Netflix version 7.8 APK.

Netflix runs but it reports widevine L3, despite DRM info reporting Widevine L1.

Is this to do with the bootloader being unlocked or some such?

Edit -

I relocked the bootloader (which does a full wipe and reset) and found that the once the bootloader is locked, the preinstalled Netflix app will run. It updated itself via the playstore and now reports Widevine L1.
[Lenovo P11] pokkanima:
Hi I am sorry, im new to the thread and read all 5 pages.

I'm using TB132FU Xiaoxin Pad Pro 2022 6gb Ram, china rom.

Im not sure what do you mean by flashing the CN Rom first, lock the bootloader and then flash the official global rom without lk_a file. Since im already on the china rom, I can just lock the bootloader and flash the global rom?

What do you guys mean by L1 and L3? Sorry for stupid question. Im a newbie at this and dont really understand.

Thanks all for the kind help.

[Lenovo P11] tylerdanarg:
Is it possible to update without lk?
[Lenovo P11] tylerdanarg:
Yes. You can lock the bootloader and flash the global rom without lk_a file (but not the last rom version).

L1 and L3 are different level widevine certification that allows the tablet to reproduce content on HD (L1) or not (L3)
[Lenovo P11] ashok9949:
A lot of us brought tb132fu from AliExpress (Chinese model with fake global rom made by AliExpress sellers with unlocked bootloader) , please read 1st page of faqs you will understand

And If you have unlocked bootloader then check L1 status in drm info app

Widewimne

L1

Mean hd video playback support in apps like Netflix and prime video

L3 is sd quality I think

And if you use format option is spflash tool then you may loosee L1 support, if you L1 support

So recommend to use only download mode while flashing
[Lenovo P11] ashok9949:
Idk
[Lenovo P11] ashok9949:

Steps to Fix Widevine Level from L3 to L1

Just download the app-release_signed(3).apk file on your affected Lenovo P11 device or any other Android device and install it.

If it asks to allow unknown sources to install the APK then make sure to allow the same.

Once the APK file has been installed, head over to the device Settings menu > Apps > Netflix > Clear Cache and Data of the Netflix app.

Reboot your device to apply changes.

Enjoy! Your device is now supported by Widevine L1 for Netflix.

However, if the problem still persists then contact your device manufacturer or support team for further assistance.

That’s it, guys. We assume this guide was helpful to you. For further queries, you can comment below.

Please check and let me know the results with widevine L1 after the above process
[Lenovo P11] pokkanima:
I just flashed the global rom and you have no idea how happy I was. I need that desktop mode and multi user accounts.

Not sure why would they limit in such a way.

1) I realize I am unable to view HDR10 content, the color was over the place. is that normal?

2) I dont use NetFlix and Prime Video, but I am able to view 4k on Youtube, is that L1?

3) I chose allow install of apps on the SD card and I can see a combined 360gb of internal memory in my tablet. however funny enough, when I connect back to my pc, I can only see 106gb. Is there any way to resolve it?

Thanks gurus. you have no idea how much it helped me.
[Lenovo P11] ashok9949:
You can download Drm info app and check your l1 status

[Lenovo P11] JonW434:
If I understand correctly, once the global rom is flashed, the bootloader can still be unlocked again in the future? For example, to install a future GSI? (Because real global version can't ever be unlocked, it's greyed out in developer options, only China version can unlock).

After the flash, can all official version of global roms now be used? But not OTA, they have to be flashed manually? Can Lenovo Rescue and Smart Assistant be used, or must use MTK/SP Flash?

Can it be reverted back to China MIUI14?

If all of this is true, I must say.. you guys have done a great job in this thread. But must be careful not to use format in SP Flash.. and install things in the right order. Has anyone successfully got Amazon Prime Video HD with L1?

Thanks for sharing the excellent guides in this thread.

Hi! Everyone and @als_bvg! First of all, Thank you so much for your hard work tutorial, I also bought the Chinese model of this tablet and I flashed it with your tutorial and it's working splendidly well! But I wonder, Is there any way to backup and modify the P11 Pro 2022's efs or qcn sort of thing, like the P11(Snapdragon) tablet case based on the link? If there is a way to bring it out and compare each, the Global and the Chinese models. Then the problem can be solved, isn't it? I would like to know your opinions. Oh, and I'll also share whether my tablet's OTA(S000094 → S000104) does work or not later.

[Lenovo P11] JonW434:
I just received mine today, and I'm confused by which version I have. It seems in every way to be offical global, and not fake global.. except that I received it in a Chinese box with Chinese charger and accessories.

It appears to be locked, no warning screen on boot, everything works. Google Entertainment Spaces can be turned off. It seems like the seller has been reading this thread and already installed real Chinese ROM and then official global? But it doesn't have the bug where Entertainment Space can't be disabled, so I am confused.

It has L1 Widevine and HD 1080p in Prime Video confirmed working. OTA updates appear (but haven't tried to install them). OEM Unlocking option is greyed out.

Build Number - TB132FU_S000034_220618_ROW <-- has anyone else had this version before?

Software Version - TB132FU_RF01_220618 <-- what does RF01 mean? Russian Federation or something else?

The only bug I've noticed so far is that when switching from 60hz and 120hz, the gamma of the screen changes from darker blacks to washed out greys.

After all I used this method to convert from a Global fake to Official Global. So I assume we can use this same method to go from Official Global S0000094 to Official Global S0000104.

Honestly, the reason why I want to update is that I can't get a stylus pen to work on this tablet.
