I tried to get to adb shell so I could run Magisk at cli and disable or remove modules but couldn't get there. I tried to install the stock boot, no change, then tried TWRP recovery (the one for 2022 but figured I could get maybe get adb shell) and it ended up just stuck in the bootloader no matter what I did. I'm always tinkering, so maybe something else, combined with this module, was causing a kernel panic or something that would kick it out of boot. For what it's worth, the other modules I had installed were Play Store Integrity and liboemcrypto disabler. Maybe something between the three caused an issue?

I gave up and flashed the Japanese/NEC ROM, which I had been considering doing at some point anyway. I'd like to be able relock the bootloader for widevine L1 one day, so I suppose it puts me in the right spot and doesn't seem as bad as the CN ROM, and also has functional magnetic wake/sleep, double tap to wake, etc. I did like that stock experience, though, so I might circle back around and try that DT2W on a fresh install.
[Lenovo Legion Y700] roldev:
Thanks for your share.

These are good news for GSI based ROM development for this device.

So Stylus and Dolby are ok with this one?

For some reason not available on paranoid ROM.

Cheers.

[Touch HD General] ZodiacPhoto:
Hi guys,

I am looking for a replacement for my HTC Athena (bought from Dynamism.com).

Being in USA on AT&T's 3G network, I did not consider the HTC Touch HD because of absence of USA 3G.

However, if you read Dynamism's HTC Touch HD page:

http://www.dynamism.com/#Product=touchhd

And their Tech Specks tab, it almost sounds like either they are getting a modified version of Blackstone, or they are misleading on purpose.

Again, I bought from Dynamism before and consider them a trusted retailer.

I will email their sales dept. for clarification.

But what do you guys think - could they have a modified Blackstone?!

Thanks!
[Touch HD General] d.cortez:
main page is misleading and can lead one to conclude that high-speed internet access is available, but the reality is it's not available... your initial assumption is correct, there is no US 3G band on the phone. the tech spec page says GSM/GPRS/EDGE, which is correct.
[Touch HD General] Everdog:
I thought T-Mobile was rolling out a 3G HSDPA/WCDMA network that worked at 2100 MHz?
[Touch HD General] d.cortez:
my understanding is that you'd need both the 1700 mHz and the 2100 mHz bands in order for high-speed access on T-Mo. one band is for downloads and the other is for uploads. if there's an HD out there that will work on US 3G bands, we would have heard by now, lol. at the moment it's EDGE speeds which meets my basic/simple internet access needs (e.g., Exchange Push, light web browsing, traffic with Garmin or TomTom).
[Touch HD General] Everdog:
OK, that makes sense. And I agree..."if there's an HD out there that will work on US 3G bands, we would have heard by now".
[Touch HD General] ZodiacPhoto:
Reply from Dynamism.com is even more confusing...

Here is a reply from sales@dynamism.com:

--

Hi,

Thank you for contacting us.

The Touch HD we are shipping is not fully US 3G compatible, sorry. It should work if you are in a large city but we do not guarantee it as it does not support the 850 MHz UMTS band. Please let me know if you have any other questions.

Best regards

--

I would really appreciate if somebody here would clarify this statement for me and others considering the Touch HD:

- Which bands and WHERE does AT&T use in USA for 3G? I mean, where 850MHz is used, where 1900MHz is used, or both? Are the band allocation maps available to public (not a generic 3G coverage map without the bands allocation)?

- Is that truth that Touch HD supports 1900MHz, but not 850MHz for 3G?

- Does it mean that Touch HD will work on 3G 1900MHz network where available ("a large city", per Dynamism)?

Thank you very much and Happy New Year everybody!
[Touch HD General] d.cortez:
let me put i this way: the Touch HD IS NOT COMPATIBLE with US 3G Bands used by at&t, period. no 3G access, period. None. you will not get 3G speeds, period. you will only get EDGE speeds, period. no 3G, period. forgive my frustrating response, but this issue has been discussed at great length on this and other forums. if you need, rely on, must have 3G speeds in the USA don't get the Touch HD. if there was any truth to what dyna-whoever is saying, we in the US with the HD would have known it and discussed it at great length. when used as a phone, the Touch HD will utilize the 850 and 1900 cell phone bands.

again, i apologize for the tone of my response, but if you read, research on this forum, you'll conclude that the Touch HD does not have 3G speed access in the US. if that ever changes, believe me, you'll know. ;) happy new year!

[Red Magic 8 pro] ShensPT:
Hi everyone since theres not a group for the Redmagic 9 Pro and the screens seems to be the same.

I really need help.

I got this phone for about 4 days now.

I can't remember if this was like this when I got it or just after the 300 ish MB update I got as soon I turned on, the selfie camera "zone" it's full of green lines and weird flickering, no Matter what brightness or background color.

Plus the top 30/40% of the screen when using low brightness it completely turns to red tint and lines etc... I need to know if happened to some one and if in in tittle of sending it to warranty. I bought it in Europe Redmagic website.

I attach pictures sorry I will try take better ones.View attachment 6076611View attachment 6076614
[Red Magic 8 pro] kh.v:
this is normal for redmagic phones with under-cam. Light brightness < 30%, it started to have green light in the camera zone. No worry ! totally normal
[Red Magic 8 pro] ggrks:
Hello. Under-display camera green color is a known issue. Redmagic official states that this is normal. I sent my friend in to see if he could get compensation for the same problem, but he didn't get compensation. It was recommended to increase the brightness and use it. What I am concerned about is the discoloration at the top of the screen. This may be due to an initial defect in the display.
[Red Magic 8 pro] Kurtastic:
I'm having the same issue here. Just to give more info, not only my phone has the same issue as yours, I'm currently experiencing screen retention on my phone by just having this phone for a month now. I recently experienced this for a week now. I got this phone last June 9, 2024. It's really disappointing that the store that I bought this doesn't cover it with warranty. I'll attach a photo for you to see what issue I'm talking about.
[Xbox] seedx:
Hello guys, I connected my unlocked xbox360 to WIFI (wanted to make it read from the computer)

When restarting the console, a boot blue screen appeared, and since then the external disk no longer reads where I have games. Usb inputs are ok. The console has already been unlocked. It was unlocked and with HD and JTAG.

Does anyone have any instructions on how to fix this.

or see this video for unlcok the bootloader :

after flash the global rom dont lock the bootloader if you now on nec

Japanese ROM (15.0.022)

or on Chinese ROM (15.0.761)

leave the boot loader unlock after flash the global rom

(its brick your tablet if you lock the bootloder if you on one of the rom i mention above )

you can wait for new update for global rom with higher rollback inde , update the tablet when the new OTA arrive and then you can lock the bootloader .

Hi

Received my CN Y700 yesterday and browsing this forum read your post.

I've installed RSA and it shows the attached.

Am I being stupid(!) or is this saying I can hit download and I'll get a Global ROM?

With it saying TB320FC_ROW rather than TB320FC_CN

I've not unlocked Bootloader. Completely stock CN firmware

TIA
[Lenovo Legion Y700] ali.jameel:
first you must unlock bootloader , and then continue with flash the global rom vy RSA , and if you on 15.0.737 you can lock bootloader after complete flash global rom .

you can see my replay above for steps to flash the global rom .
[Lenovo Legion Y700] Tenun:
Same game assistant for global and China version? Same touch sampling rate (144Hz) for them?
[Lenovo Legion Y700] deibid-do:
So if you follow the steps will not erase anything you have installed on the Tablet now?

They recommend not to lock the Bootloader again, I have the doubt that if you lock it again, when updating later, via OTA, Lenovo will turn it into a brick.

EDIT: My chinese (Stock) version is: 15.0.737
[Lenovo Legion Y700] Evans_jd:
I unlocked bootloader and tried several times with RSA and it kept failing.

Sticking with CN for now as I'm not missing anything.
[Lenovo Legion Y700] leminhnguyen0703:
There's no newer versions of the global firmware AFAIK so that haven't been tested, but there was no problem going from 008 to 022 via OTA on my 2nd Y700. I believe it should be the same for the global firmware.

There are currently 2 scenarios applicable if you're on either of the newest currently available CN and NEC ROM.

1- Go from the CN 761 ROM to the current global firmware (139), it will be bricked.

2- Go from the NEC 022 to the current global firmware (139) is fine, as long as you do not relock the bootloader. The Android security patch date of the global firmware is lower than the NEC 022's. As a result, NEC 022 -> global 139 -> lock bootloader = bricked device.

If either of these scenarios happen, you can still recover it via RSA to the NEC 022 and learn not to lock the bootloader this time :D Be patient and wait for a newer global firmware with an updated security patch and then flash away. If you're on a lower firmware than these 2 then you should be good. I only need a relock because I need Widevine L1 for HD netflix.

Try following these steps. Worked for me. Sometimes QFIL acts up on one computer, try again on another one. I could think of multiple benefits of the top of my head like apps maintaining its accessibility approval, WAY less aggressive background management and goodbye to stock Lenovo junks and spyware but each to their own I guess
[Lenovo Legion Y700] deibid-do:
That means that on 737 (my version too) you can switch to Global at the moment, and root it's not mandatory, unlock bootloader yes... it would still receive OTA (Global) updates and if they bricked you could recover it. Am I right?

I would follow this tutorial:

(Although it does one thing with ####5993#(####6020#) that I don't understand, I imagine that for the West it is not necessary).

EDIT. Success!
[Lenovo Legion Y700] deibid-do:
Well, I've got the tablet on Global Firmware... thanks for the help!
[Lenovo Legion Y700] DustoMan:
Man, I JUST ordered this tablet with the Chinese ROM today. If I saw this earlier I would have waited, oh well. Maybe I could flash whatever official Global firmware Lenovo comes out with (so long as I can relock the bootloader.) I'll be fine. If the bootloader is unlocked then Netflix won't work in HD.

Edit- I bought the 16GB/512GB version so I guess I'm okay. If they aren't going to even do that version. Might not be able to flash the software but whatever.
[Lenovo Legion Y700] jianglai:
I flashed my CN 737 ROM to Global 139 and relocked the bootloader. Everything seems good so far. Hopefully they end up actually launching the global version this time around. I'm a bit worried that they may cancel the launch in the end and I end up being stuck on a ROM with no updates...
[Lenovo Legion Y700] big_onion:
How does the global ROM compare to the NEC ROM? Mine originalyl came with CN, but there was a fair amount I couldn't uninstall or remained in Chinese. NEC seems to be a bit easier to clean off the pre-installed apps. Is the global ROM the same?
[Lenovo Legion Y700] Evans_jd:
I have the 16gb/512gb CN.

It's all working fine with Nova launcher and all my apps.

My one niggle is the Chinese for things like setting new fonts so a move to Global ROM would be great.

Is the expectation that there will be no Global for the 16Gb/512Gb ?

I dont know if thats a stupid question and there would be no difference between the 12Gb and 16Gb!
[Lenovo Legion Y700] jianglai:
I flashed global to my 16/512 CN. All worked fine. I can actually get reliable push notifications now.

You have to add a work profile via an MDM platform like Company Portal/Intune etc
[Lenovo Legion Y700] bitz_dv:
OK that makes sense
[Lenovo Legion Y700] mindfrost82:
I think work profiles work in the NEC version. So far I haven't found issues in the NEC022 ROM, but I haven't been able to compare it to the Global ROM. It does add a few foreign apps, but those are easily removed. It doesn't have the occasional mix of chinese in the ROM like the CN version did.
[Lenovo Legion Y700] jianglai:
If your company requires work profile, just adding the Google workspace account to your tablet will create the work profile. Check with your company’s IT support.

Thank you for the info. I will try explore this guide. Unfortunately last time i'm unable to make Qfil work. i might take another look.
[Lenovo Legion Y700] Ledesma90:
I had another unopened y700 2023 (new), I used the rsa tool and I managed to install the global rom 15.0.240 without unlocking the bootloader, if you meet these conditions you can do the same without fear. I also recommend downloading firmware 240, another version may not have the same result in the future.
[Lenovo Legion Y700] Ledesma90:
But I don't understand the point of putting ####6020#, if I don't choose a region code I won't be able to have updates? Does anyone know something?
[Lenovo Legion Y700] giangnvh:
where could I enter this, and should I input the correct country, or prefer input a specific one (e.g. US)?
[Lenovo Legion Y700] giangnvh:
I end up recover the newest firmware via RSA, without knowing this. Save for future reference.
[Lenovo Legion Y700] Breed43214:
It's not required for OTA. I didn't have it set and got .240 when I was on .139.

My understanding is that setting the region does 3 things:

1) Sets the appropriate language and keyboard settings automatically during OOBE set up.

2) Applies country specific bloatware

3) Ensures local laws and regulations are followed. Selecting an EU country applies an EEA Google profile, and unlocks the upper 5GHz WiFi channels, for example.
[Lenovo Legion Y700] Breed43214:
So you were on something less than CN

.774 out of the box, presumably.
[Lenovo Legion Y700] Breed43214:
It's ####6020# when doing it for the first time. You enter it in the search bar of the settings app.

Note that it resets the tablet to factory settings.
[Lenovo Legion Y700] Ledesma90:
Version .6**, I do not remember well
[Lenovo Legion Y700] giangnvh:
I use ####6020#, set to my country Vietnam, the device do factory reset.

Then I try using ####6030#, nothing happen, no message or notification at all.

Try using ####6020# again, device show that country code is set.

Question: if I want to change country code now, how to to next?
[Lenovo Legion Y700] Breed43214:
I'm not sure. It may be the tablet would need reflashed in order to change the country code again.

A post on the Korean website implied ####6030# allowed the region to be changed once set but it doesn't seem to be the case.
[Lenovo Legion Y700] Ledesma90:
Does anyone know how to block available downloads of a new version? I want to prevent a family member from accidentally updating

Download netguard from the play atore and block the internet for ota updates

It is better to uninstall tbengine than to have an app running in the background.

I also add The command to get updates working again in case you need it.

you can flash NEC rom .022 by RSA and then change the contery code whatever you want and then you can flash global rom .240 by RSA and you will see that your contery code changed

[Lenovo Legion Y700] Ledesma90:
I hope they can figure out how to change the regional code permanently, or find out why it doesn't work well in -USzhzh. Thank you for sharing that guide
[Lenovo Legion Y700] Breed43214:
Brilliant find. Thanks for sharing. It confirms three things I've suspected:

1) They did in fact release a region lock in .761, not just .774

2) The Global ROM also writes its own region lock.

3) If you moved to Global ROM before the CN region lock is introduced, the Global region lock is written so that it permanently becomes a 'Global' tablet.

Great news for those of us who moved prior to .761, as it means the tablet is now indistinguishable from a model genuinely sold in EU and should work on all future updates.

Hopefully this clever person can find the location of the region lock codes so people can change it!

At least there's a way to move with bootloader unlocked for now, though.

Sorry, link from another thread in xda

I confirm, that cn 774 bricked by rsa 139 will boots and work well in flash qfil 139 with patched vendor_boot, as well as 240 global also with patched vendor_boot for 240. Bootloader always are unlocked, in this case by flashing sn.img from lenovo site https://m.zui.com/iunlock.
[Lenovo Legion Y700] mindfrost82:
I can vouch that this works with an unlocked bootloader. I was on CN774. I still had the Global Rom in my C:\ProgramData\RSA\Download\RomFiles\ directory.

I copied over the patched vendor_boot.img into the RSA folder, then did a Rescue to the ROW firmware and it flashed and booted.

I haven't tried re-locking the bootloader, but based on that post it sounds like it won't work until someone can find the flag to change it permanently like the other Lenovo tablet.

I was able to install the modified 240 version (lddnsk shared link) using RSA (ZA12GN1 method) on top of a 774 "region locked" tablet. I edited the vendor_boot.img file myself with HxD.

At least now I have a working 240 version.
[Lenovo Legion Y700] mindfrost82:
If you're feeling brave, you can install Magisk and have it edit the boot.img and flash it, then you can install a couple of modules so apps can't detect if you have the unlocked bootloader. Its a good workaround for now until we're able to get a permanent region fix and can re-lock the bootloader.

I actually did it lol but was irrelevant information for this post. At the end of the day, magisk have their own subforum.
