hey just a question, as a total novice, i'm new to all this kind of stuff so, to update the rom via RSA you first need to flash the CN rom to global rom right? and then use the RSA, i was on fake global and passed to ZUI, now i want to try the global rom and i am a bit confused on how to do it, just to clarify, first i need to flash it and then use the RSA right? or can i just simply use the RSA directly?
[Lenovo P11] diamondX04HT:
You can use RSA directly.
[Lenovo P11] chrissss91:

[Lenovo P11] HyperionXX:
Just received mine with the fake global, can someone confirm if the RSA can be used directly or should I flash something else first?
[Lenovo P11] spectrixx:
New firmware is rolling out now, mine updated itself OTA which was a pleasant surprise.

TB132FU_S240219_231123_ROW

Android 13 / Security update November 1st 2023
[Lenovo P11] mr.wrinw:
Mine is still on 230921 and no update available.

Does anyone have the same issue?

Or maybe I rooted my device so can't update by OTA?
[Lenovo P11] spectrixx:
AFAIK it's usually a staged rollout, otherwise hundreds of thousands of devices would be downloading all at once.
[Lenovo P11] Lickenleon:
Please let me know if the Turbo Charge or Fast charge working on latest global firmware? It important to me, because I do not want to spend 4 hours just to have full battery. Thank you!
[Lenovo P11] spectrixx:
Using Ampere, I can see a maximum of 3100mA. Maybe it takes closer to 5 hours 🤣
[Lenovo P11] JorisB:
It worked for me with the fake rom, really easy with rsu!
[Lenovo P11] Lickenleon:
A member said he measures with meter and get 16W. With battery 8000mA and voltage = 3.7V, the capacity should be 29Wh. Let say efficiency of charging about 80%, so it takes 2.3 hours to full charge and It seem not bad.
[Lenovo P11] nihnos:
Is there anything interesting in the release notes beside the newer security update?

Hi guys,

I just bought the tablet and updated to latest firmware as you can see on my attached.

However I noticed some lag when there's a video playback. Whenever i do a task foreground and its glitchy.

But my main problem is 60fps. Its not as smooth compared to my other device (i sit them side by side to compare) - i know its more than capable to play 60fps but its stuttery and feels like 40 fps in my eyes. Anyone else notice this too? But in twitch app its smooth but then there's some fps drop after some time.

Is there a way to go back to stock chinese rom and see if this issues doesnt exist? TIA
[Lenovo P11] HyperionXX:
I'm getting 18~20w measured at the wall with "TB132FU_S240219_231123_ROW"
[Lenovo P11] fuertaquito:
Thanks my friend. Im very happy. Just now very easy update to global oficial lenovo to android 13.
[Lenovo P11] crazyguns:
Did you figure this out? I have the same feel there's a lag, also the colours seem off, Reds are wayyyyy too red and its visible when seeing peoples lips it looks like they all have lipstick lol, i tried the different display colour profiles, switching to 120hz and 60hz it just looks odd

Wanna go back to the latest ZUI or maybe some sort of GSI but there's not much info for this tab TB132FU
[Lenovo P11] Kantee:
Hi, are other people having these problems with video playback since the update?
[Lenovo P11] Lickenleon:
New firmware update

TB132FU_S240226_231221_ROW

Android 13 / Security update December 1st 2023
[Lenovo P11] mborgues:
My stylus pen 3, after a year of use, simply stopped working, something very bad for something relatively expensive and apparently without any parallel option with palm rejection. I really expected a longer lifespan from it.
[Lenovo P11] Advent1012:
Did you update to official global rom from a fake global rom with unlocked bootloader? Mine is on the way and want official global rom but scared to brick it as most people seem to have used RSA with ZUI. Thanks is advance for any help!
[Lenovo P11] Advent1012:
Hi, did flashing straight from fake global rom to global rom with RSA work for you? I just got mine with fake global rom TB132FU_S300062_220921_ROW and not sure if i should try to flash ZUI first... Thanks
[Lenovo P11] chrissss91:
It worked perfectly in october : https://xdaforums.com/t/tb132fu-med...-from-chinese-to-global.4539939/post-89135380

I don't know if it's still the same but I don't remember seeing someone complaining here (it's not the same story for all Lenovo tablet, such as Lenovo Xiaoxin pad 2022 where RSA brings a black screen with 'Incompatible Software/Hardware' message).
[Lenovo P11] Advent1012:
Thanks for the reply. I'm just a little concerned because some people seem to have had bricked tablets when they have tried. Did you go straight from official China rom to Global using the RSA tool or did you have fake global to begin with? Thanks for the help!

The one that worried me was this post https://xdaforums.com/t/tb132fu-med...or-xiaoxin-pad-pro-2022.4515367/post-88755183

Thanks for the help!
[Lenovo P11] chrissss91:
I didn't see this post before using RSA in october otherwise it would have afraid me 😅.

But this post is from july so I guess that Lenovo changed its politics since then.

BTW I also bought a TB128FU in october and I had this brick and it's really easy to unbrick by flashing ZUI with QFIL. I guess it's the same for TB132FU (but I didn't try since I'm still on Global).

And I received it with a fake global.
[Lenovo P11] Advent1012:
Thanks for the help. I will probably give it a go in the next couple of days. Sadly QFIL is only for Qualcomm (I think?). But will try Lenovo rescue tool again if it bricks. I just wish there weren't conflicting comments in differents threads on the forum, makes things very confusing! Thanks again.
[Lenovo P11] Advent1012:
Just to confirm, flashing Official global rom from the fake global rom just worked for me! I just bit the bullet and used the rescue too as described by chrissss91 (thanks so much man!). It was a nailbiter, but the process ran smoothly and 5 minutes later I had a Lenovo Tab 11 Pro (2022) with the official Android 13 rom in my hands! All the features work flawlessly and I don't have the security concerns that I had with the 'fake' global ROM that the tablet was shipped with. I really don't understand why the Aliexpress sellers don't just load the official global ROM, it is so easy!
[Lenovo P11] TheGrandSon:
Have you found a solution?? I'm experiencing the same problem. So annoying!
[Lenovo P11] Laesx:
The solution was using another computer entirely in the end, it just didn't want to do it in my desktop PC even with 2 different windows installations.
[Lenovo P11] raven911:
So after the conversion using RSA, did OTA updates continue?
[Lenovo P11] raven911:
Also in this other thread, https://xdaforums.com/t/tb132fu-faq-and-how-tos.4531481/, the writer indicates the following:

"Can I use Lenovo’s Rescue and Smart Assistant software to convert my Chinese TB132FU into the international version?​

No. You will brick your device if you try to update your system using this tool."

But it seems like people in this thread are doing the direct conversion using RSA with no issues?
[Lenovo P11] raven911:
Is there any way to get the serial number back? Do OTA's work after you converted?
[Lenovo P11] chrissss91:
yes.

I received 2 OTA since November
[Lenovo P11] raven911:
Thanks, and a few people mentioned losing the serial number information. Is there any downside that you noticed from losing it? I assume that Widevine L1 is maintained, and safetynet as well?
[Lenovo P11] chrissss91:
I've not lost SN. I'm not aware of problem with RSA on this side.

Widevine is L1, but Safetynet is KO (I guess because of Unlock BL + Magisk).
[Lenovo P11] raven911:
OK, so just to clarify, you have to unlock BL before doing the RSA? The way others described it, I thought they just took the original locked device and ran RSA?
[Lenovo P11] chrissss91:
I'm not sure (because I also ordered a TB128FU, I did a lot of manipulations on it so I may be confused) but IIRC I received it already unlocked.

I also want to mention that Global ROM is smooth as butter. I really like it 😍.
[Lenovo P11] raven911:
Thanks, I guess it would be possible to re-lock the bootloader after changing the rom? or do you think that would brick the device?
[Lenovo P11] chrissss91:
Good question. It's ok for me to have it unlocked, I don't want to risk a brick now that everything is finely tuned 👻.
[Lenovo P11] raven911:
Yea, I'm wondering if its worth the risk of doing the conversion. In the USA, this pad is selling for $275 plus tax...but the China version on taobao sells for $170.
[Lenovo P11] Redius999:
Yes you lose turbo charge and you can only charge at 7 or 8 watt which is very long
[Lenovo P11] Redius999:
Here is a comparison I did between the original rom Chinese English flashed with rsa

And with the custom rom
[Lenovo P11] Redius999:
As I tested in both both in original English rom and the rom with p11 pro flashed with rsa I prefer by far staying on zui original rom flashed Chinese and English

The google store can be activated easily on original rom and all hdr works fine drm in L1
[Lenovo P11] raven911:
to confirm, The custom rom you mentioned is a global english custom rom that was installed by the seller?
[Lenovo P11] Redius999:
No I did it through rsa
[Lenovo P11] ajandrade:
Friends, have important diference betwen global from RSA and Global from seller Aliexpress?
[Lenovo P11] ajandrade:
Outra dúvida: preciso do bootloader desbloqueado para realizar o processo via RSA? a minha é chinesa e a ROM global é falsa, está desbloqueada?
[Lenovo P11] Redius999:
Big difference

[Lenovo P11] Makojo:
Yesterday I flashed the global ROM on my TB132FU using this method! I'm on the latest update TB132FU_S240242_240427_ROW
[Lenovo P11] michelleandros:
Hi, where did you get the firmware file? because the link here is broken.
[Lenovo P11] Makojo:
I used the Rescue and smart Assistance software from Lenovo. You can download it here: https://pcsupport.lenovo.com/us/en/...uct Promotion&source=AVATAR&subsource=Product

When searching for products don't do it with the SN, but do it manually. Otherwise you will get the CN ROM instead of the global ROM
[Lenovo P11] michelleandros:
Thanks for the support. My tablet it is a P11 Pro tb132fu. But, the touch of it is not working. Do you think it is a screen problem or a firmware problm?
[Lenovo P11] Makojo:
It sounds like a hardware issue, but you can always try to flash the Global ROM. It's like a factory reset so everything will be deleted on your P11 Pro 2nd gen
[Lenovo P11] J_KAY_9981:
Hi! Makojo! Thanks for sharing your update, It's kinda interesting this tablet still can swap the rom :D I replied because I have some a few questions about your tablet. I'm considering about to buy this tablet once again right now. If you can share your experience to me, it would be very helpful.

1. Are you bought CN ROM model or Fake Global ROM model?

2. Where did you get your tablet? Aliexpress or other mall?

3. Did you unlock the tablet before you update the global rom?

4. Is there any issue while using the global rom version so far?

Thank you once again.
[Lenovo P11] Makojo:
Hi!

1. I bought a Lenovo Xiaoxin Pad Pro 2022 with the original CN ROM ZUI 14

2. I bought it at Giztop

3. Nope! I only had to follow the instructions of the Rescue and smart Assistance software from Lenovo

4. I haven't encountered any issues so far! I have been using the global ROM for a week now
[Lenovo P11] J_KAY_9981:
Thank you so much!
[Lenovo P11] Makojo:
No problem ^^! If you need any help with flashing the global ROM feel free to ask me

Thank you for your kind reply.

The tablet has just arrived, and I applied the Global version ROM with RSA. It works perfectly fine without unlocking the tablet or using any extra methods. How interesting XD

Thank you once again, Makojo.

Have a nice day.
[Lenovo P11] Makojo:
No problem ^^! I'm glad I was able to help you. It's great to see you were able to flash the Global ROM with RSA without any issue! I also wish you a nice day
[Lenovo P11] Palukczo:
Hi. Is the turbo charging working? Or any type of fast charging? Thanks
[Lenovo P11] Makojo:
My WiFi smart plug said it was 22W. When I charge my Lenovo Xiaoxin Pad Pro 2022 with the Global ROM, it still says fast charging
[Lenovo P11] Palukczo:
Thanks a lot. Are you using original charger? How long do you think is to charge from 10% to full?
[Lenovo P11] Makojo:
I'm using the original charger that came with the Lenovo Xiaoxin Pad Pro 2022. I know charging from 20% takes around one and a half hours. The Global ROM even shows how long it will take when you charge it
[Lenovo P11] Sefcio:
Hi, has anyone solved the serial number problem? After sflashing the tablet on android 13 using flash tool serial number is: 0000000, disappeared of course L1 certificate which I care most about RSA also does not work after this opreation. Any ideas? thanks in advance

[Lenovo P11] als_bvg:
Original Serial number and ZUI 14 with blocked bootloader and OEM lock did not grant L1 status. I'll continue to use it for a few days to see if that changes.

Devs from the community be free to jump in.
[Lenovo P11] wike.aj:
you forgot to mention that you need to have the Mediatek USB drivers installed for this. I tried to follow your guide without installing Mediatek USB drivers and the flashtool stuck at Download DA 100%.

Update: after flashing, i seem to also retain L1 widevine according to DRM Info. I dont use Netflix so I cant confirm whether I really have HD playback.
[Lenovo P11] tylerdanarg:
I can confirm that accubattery shows 10w charge when screen shows fast charging. Not as fast than zui14 but bot a problem. All with original charger 30w.
[Lenovo P11] naruto20007:
@als_bvg First of all thank you for posting this guide. I have successfully installed this global rom following your instructions (Download Only mode). Here are somethings I notice on this rom.

1. The best charging speed I can get is QC3 ~18W (9V at 2A) which results in 1h 30m for full charge.

2. Wideline L1 is still intact (provided that you didn't lose it before). I have Netflix 4k subscription (See screenshot for Netflix playback info).

3. Bug: sometime time zone got stuck in Eastern Standard Time New York (GMT-5). Workaround, factory reset the tablet after 1st boot seems to fix it.

Hope this helps.

4. Orange State on boot screen (5s delay on boot time doesn't bother me as much). I reckon locking the bootloader would fix it but I don't wanna risk getting stuck in Chinese ZUI rom
[Lenovo P11] als_bvg:
Awesome. Thanks for your feedback. Great to know more details about the battery charging speed. I'll update the list of bugs. Re-locking the bootloader is safe. You can switch back and forth from global to ZUI with or without the bootloader being locked. If you use the third method on the FAQ to re-flash ZUI the bootloader will be locked by default, and you can always unlock it or just flash the Global on top of it or the other way around. :)
[Lenovo P11] Hanswurstistda:
Works perfect for me with the UsbDk drives & MTK drivers.

Finally i got all the features i wanted, thank you very much!

Send you a PN!
[Lenovo P11] Ksouff:
First of all, thank you so much for suggesting a good way.

As I followed the guide, it is connected only with FASTBOOT MODE and does not boot properly, so is there anything I should check?

I reinstalled the driver and it was possible! Thank you!
[Lenovo P11] Ksouff:
I lost my serial number as well, so could you tell me how to restore it?

[Lenovo P11] vitiosing:
We need to wait for the new firmware to be released in Lenovo's RSA. You can flash the new firmware using SPFT with all the data saved. Uncheck lk_a and userdata. The data should be preserved in this case.
[Lenovo P11] tylerdanarg:
Trying to make OTAs work on global ROM. I lost serial number and proinfo shows nothing in the hex editor. Also lost L1.

Can someone share with me a proinfo file (with xxxxxxx on serial number so that I know where to write mine)?

Also lost IMEI. And I don't know which file I have to edit to have it again. Does anybody knows?

My guest Is that with serial number, IMEI and lock bootloader i should get L1 back.

Thanks in advance for any help
[Lenovo P11] tylerdanarg:
Just to keep you guys posted. I got a proinfo from a tablet from a friend that has L1. Im going to edit it with my serial and flash it to see if I can get L1 again. If not im going to flash the file without edit (this will get me his serial and see if that works.

The final will be to have a full back up for his complete ROM. Does anyone knows how to make a full image of a ROM?
[Lenovo P11] tylerdanarg:
No luck with my friends proinfo neither, got my serial back but not L1. I Will do a full user partition back up from his tablet and write it to mine, to see if that works.

If anyone knows how to clone a whole tablet and want to share the how to with me, that will be perfect.

Keep you posted
[Lenovo P11] vitiosing:
Try watching this instructional video of mine.

And here's how to recover from a backup and more.
[Lenovo P11] tylerdanarg:
Thanks I will follow your video. Do you think I Will be able to have widevine L1 back since his tablet has it writing his back up onto mine? (I format mine and lost L1)
[Lenovo P11] vitiosing:
Perhaps you should give it a try. I also formatted mine and also lost the serial number, but I was saved by my backup. However, I have the native serial number now, and you will have your friend's serial number. I don't know if that makes a difference.
[Lenovo P11] vitiosing:
You may be able to restore your serial number later
[Lenovo P11] tylerdanarg:
Yes. I Will try that. I already have the proinfo modified with my serial. Were you be able to get widevine L1 after formating? Thanks for your help.
[Lenovo P11] vitiosing:
Yes, my tablet now has L1
[Lenovo P11] als_bvg:
I tried flashing another users back up but got a error message, same error lots of user reported when we were trying to flash a backup. I tried several methods to bypass the writing error with no success. Then unzipped the ROM 1 file and manually flashed all files possible via fastboot. It would not boot, but if I flashed ZUI on top of it I would get the user's serial number and L3 still.

About lk_a:

If you open both lk_a files from official ZUI and Global on HxD you will be able to find the code that might be responsible for the hardware and geo location code. The device's info (if Chinese or global) is in a partition I'm not familiar with and have no idea how to access or edit. If you check it you will see basically a code saying ex.: "check if partition ZZZZ says XXXX_PCR if not, display error message."

I was able to identify that Global is ROW (of course) and Chinese is PRC. I tried changing the code to remove this blocker from lk_a but it would not boot after flashing the full room with the edited lk file. So if someone has more tech knowledge about partitions you could check the code on the lk files and try to modify it. This will turn the device into a "original" Global and OTA would be able to work just fine.

Just updating the file via HxD did not work unless missed something.

About flashing a backup to try getting L3 back:

If someone was able to write someone else's backup with no error let me know. Flashing your own backup doesn't count, sorry. We need a successful story of a user flashing someones backup and how they did it.

About more tests on my end: I'm pausing tests for now as I already spent lots of days finding unexplored solutions for our tablet. So I invite you to try things as well and post your results. Again: is safe to play with the tablet so far. So please be curious!

Good luck everyone!
[Lenovo P11] vitiosing:
I don't know much about programming. However, it seems to me that what prevents the firmware native is outside of those memory regions in which the firmware is sewn. So it is unlikely that any manipulation with any part of the firmware, for example with lk_a will help solve the problem with OTA. You'll probably have to do it manually. I could be wrong though. But the good news is that you can flash normal, native ROW by unchecking lk_a and also unchecking user data and everything works. In this case, all your data is saved, I checked.
[Lenovo P11] tylerdanarg:
Well. I wasn't able to boot after flashing my friends back up. It always ask me to do a factory reset data. Then it boots but still L3. Seems like something unique was deleted when formating. Too bad lenovo' support is almost none. They could provide support for xiaoxin tablets Like rsa software.
[Lenovo P11] daybreak7456:
I was unable to activate it with the backup roms uploaded by vitiosing in the past. I don't think I can currently recover it with someone else's roms.

If I don't have a backup of my tablet when it is normal, I don't think I can go back to L1.

I have played around with it all day today and it is still in L3.

I don't watch videos on my tablet, so I'll leave it at L3 already.

From now on, I will use it for games and e-books on the official Global ROM.
[Lenovo P11] tylerdanarg:
I order a new one so i Will sell this one without L1. Hope somebody finds out how to get L1 back to formatted devices
[Lenovo P11] tylerdanarg:
seems that widevine L1 certificate is in the persist partition (which is ereased when formatting). Could anyone with L1 and rooted device upload a copy of persist.img?
[Lenovo P11] Hanswurstistda:
You could use Gspace If anything else doesn't work
